Gangbuk-gu Completes Thorough Disinfection of Coin Karaoke Rooms
Vulnerable Facilities for Group Infections Activate Detailed Customized Quarantine Network... 1st Phase District Dedicated Disinfection Team, 2nd Phase Professional Company Quarantine... Coin Noraebang Owners Assigned as Quarantine Responsibility Managers
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su) conducted special disinfection over two days on the 20th and 21st in response to a series of chain infection cases linked to coin karaoke rooms in South Korea.
The disinfection targeted all 16 coin karaoke rooms in the district. While the district's mobile disinfection team usually focuses on facilities vulnerable to infection, additional disinfection of coin karaoke rooms was carried out by a professional company. This measure was taken based on the judgment that disinfection management should be differentiated according to risk levels due to the enclosed and crowded nature of the facilities.
Additionally, the district appealed for voluntary closure for two weeks, responding to concerns that coin karaoke rooms operate unmanned without separate managers, making it highly likely that disinfection rules are not properly followed. In cases where business operation is unavoidable, they requested that operators fulfill their roles as disinfection responsibility managers.
Furthermore, the district plans to strengthen surprise on-site inspections to check whether disinfection rules are properly observed in karaoke rooms and PC rooms. Depending on the trend of infection spread, additional disinfection by professional companies will also be implemented.
