and off-installation activities in line with the trend of the COVID-19 outbreak in the ROK and the social
distancing level announced by the health authorities. Various measures were also enforced to relieve
stress among servicemembers amid the prolonged outbreak of COVID-19, such as offering sports and
other activities to facilitate unity in the barracks, providing active support for psychological counseling,
and allowing servicemembers to make video calls using their mobile phones.
| Practicing Epidemic Control in Daily Lives | What matters most
in a situation where no vaccine or treatment has been developed is
compliance with epidemic control in daily lives through the voluntary
participation of servicemembers. In April 2020, the MND established
the "guidelines for routine distancing in daily life of servicemembers",
which contained detailed guidelines for each field of work, daily life,
and leisure in addition to the basic guidelines. In addition, the "3·6·5
Campaign for Smart Barracks Life" was conducted to elicit a
consensus among servicemembers on practicing key guidelines Card news for the "3·6·5 Campaign
