No meals at highway rest areas during the Chuseok holiday… Packaging only

This Chuseok holiday, eating and drinking is prohibited at the expressway rest area indoor stores, and only packaging is allowed.

The Korea Expressway Corporation announced on the 18th that to prevent the spread of Corona 19, it will establish and implement the ``Reinforcement Measures for Prevention of Rest Areas Prepared for the Chuseok Holiday'' with these contents as the main point.

In accordance with this measure, seats are prohibited at all expressway rest area indoor stores managed by the Korea Expressway Corporation for a total of 6 days from the 29th of this month to the 4th of the following month during the Chuseok holiday.

However, takeout is possible.

This is because the risk of infection increases when customers are concentrated in indoor stores.

In addition, the Korea Highway Corporation plans to operate the entrance and exit according to the operating conditions of the rest area, and a dedicated guide staff is assigned to check the fever in indoor stores and toilets that are frequently used by customers.

We also introduce and operate a'easy phone check-in' system that automatically records access information when customers visiting the rest area call a virtual phone number for each rest area.

An official of the Korea Expressway Corporation said, "Customers using the rest area this holiday season, please wear a mask and keep your distance."
