They will check 701 locations such as clubs, entertainment bars, emotional bars, and colatecs within the jurisdiction, providing guidance on the enhanced compliance requirements and verifying adherence.

In particular, this inspection will prioritize guidance on ▲mask-wearing after users enter ▲designation of a quarantine manager ▲verification of visitors' identification. For establishments that fail to comply, administrative guidance will be provided, and those with high infection risk violations will face prosecution and administrative orders to prohibit gatherings.
