Most of the 179 Karaoke Venues Temporarily Closed from March 25 to March 31
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) announced that the majority of the 179 member establishments of the Dobong-gu Karaoke Association (President Kwangju Lee) will temporarily close to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community, as small-scale cluster infections continue.
This temporary closure follows the decision of the Dobong-gu Karaoke Association, with karaoke rooms in Dobong-gu scheduled to close from March 25 to March 31. If the virus spread continues, an extension of the closure will be actively considered.
Until now, the district has regarded karaoke rooms as facilities highly vulnerable to COVID-19 community infections and has conducted continuous disinfection activities, recommending each establishment to suspend operations temporarily by practicing social distancing.
The president of the Dobong-gu Karaoke Association stated, “Despite the difficulties caused by the economic downturn, we decided to suspend operations to take the lead in preventing virus spread and to participate in the nationwide social distancing campaign.”
