Representatives and infection control managers from approximately 60 infection-vulnerable facilities in the county, including nursing hospitals, long-term care institutions, and welfare facilities for people with disabilities?where high-risk groups reside and the risk of group infection is high?attended the training.
The North Jeolla Province Infectious Disease Control Support Group conducted lectures focused on practical understanding of infection control, while a hobby and culture instructor provided healing experiences for emotional recovery, helping participants relieve both physical and psychological fatigue. In addition, a Q&A session was held to enhance engagement and allow for discussions on infectious disease prevention and response.

Meanwhile, the county is making efforts to protect residents from emerging infectious diseases by providing infection prevention management training for infection-vulnerable facilities, as well as maintaining a continuous monitoring system, conducting infection control inspections, and implementing quarantine measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
