Daegu City Billiard Halls 'Life Quarantine' Status Investigated... 1 in 5 Places 'Violation'
Results of simultaneous inspections at 501 sites from 28th to 31st: 91 sites 'Inadequate'
Inspections of other sports facilities such as golf practice ranges from June
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Daegu City announced that on the 26th, it conducted a comprehensive inspection of 501 billiard halls in the region from the 28th to the 31st, following the confirmation of a third-year student at Oseong High School infected with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) who had visited a billiard hall during their movement.
Billiard halls are sports facilities where there is a particularly high risk of infectious disease transmission if quarantine rules such as visitor log registration, mask-wearing, and maintaining a distance of at least 1 meter are neglected.
Accordingly, a field inspection team consisting of 25 district and county officials and 43 city hall officials conducted on-site investigations to check compliance with the 'Sports Sector Life Rules,' and took immediate corrective actions at 91 locations where quarantine rules were insufficient, such as ▲not wearing masks and ▲not registering visitor logs.
Previously, Daegu City, together with districts and counties, conducted focused guidance and inspections on 1,281 high-intensity social distancing target businesses (fitness centers, sports dojangs, martial arts academies, and dojangs), 82 public sports facilities, and 21 private swimming pools.
