[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] On the 18th, Choi Yoon-hee, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, visited Caribbean Bay in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province to check the social distancing quarantine situation in daily life and listen to on-site difficulties.

Vice Minister Choi inspected ▲ checking visitors' fever status through thermal cameras upon entering amusement facilities ▲ filling out health questionnaires via mobile devices ▲ managing the number of entrants and users in pools to maintain a 2m (minimum 1m) distance between users in water play facilities ▲ daily disinfection of frequently touched auxiliary facilities such as lockers ▲ hygiene standard management through real-time water quality monitoring ▲ and mask-wearing when distancing is not possible, while encouraging the staff.

He urged, "As the number of water play facility users is expected to surge in preparation for the summer peak season, the industry must strictly comply with quarantine rules, and users should also follow personal quarantine guidelines so that everyone cooperates to create a safe water play environment."

In preparation for the summer peak season, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has been inspecting 209 water play amusement facilities in cooperation with local governments since the 10th. This joint inspection will focus on compliance with quarantine rules, water quality management, the condition of organic equipment and facilities, and overall safety management status until July 24th, and if necessary, plans to supplement daily quarantine guidelines.
