With the competition just three days away, this meeting focused on ▲ hygiene inspections for food and beverages and ▲ prevention measures for no-shows.

 

For hygiene inspections of food and beverages, checks have been completed for 15 food supply companies supplying the athlete village and operational staff restaurants in the first week of January. Regular inspections of the hygiene conditions of these companies will continue until the end of the competition, and 3,532 food and beverage and accommodation establishments around the venues will be inspected by organizing inspection teams for each hosting city.

 

The response situation room for infectious diseases is now in full operation. In case of symptoms such as norovirus or food poisoning, quick sample collection and epidemiological investigations will be conducted. Periodic disinfection will also be carried out to prevent the rapid spread of infections.

 

On another note, tests for norovirus were conducted on 705 cooks within the athlete village restaurants and IOC accommodation facilities, resulting in 9 positive cases. Prompt isolation measures and disinfection of the affected cooking areas have been implemented. Additionally, a suspected food poisoning report from a volunteer at a restaurant within the Pyeongchang Alpensia Resort was received today. An epidemiological investigation is underway to identify the cause, and the volunteer with symptoms is currently under quarantine.

 

Governor Kim emphasized the importance of swift and early responses in the face of the infectious disease situation just three days before the event. He urged a quick and agile response in terms of sample collection, epidemiological investigations, disinfection, and isolation, and the establishment of a rapid reporting system.

 

As of now, the ticket reservation rate for the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics is 133% of the target audience of 250,000, reaching 334,000 tickets. However, due to the nature of free admission tickets, efforts are being made to prevent no-shows by expanding on-site ticket issuance and group reservations in the remaining period.

 

Finally, Governor Kim emphasized the current situation as being no different from the start of the competition. He urged everyone to remember that the prerequisites for a successful event are safety, hygiene, and protection against the cold. He stressed the importance of daily reporting, encouraging the reporting of both positive and negative situations and maintaining a high level of vigilance until the closing ceremony.
