'Mandatory Entry Log Submission' Administrative Measures for 288 Multi-use Facilities in Chungnam

[Asia Economy (Naepo) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province has issued an administrative order mandating the creation of visitor logs at multi-use facilities and mass gatherings within the region.

According to the province on the 28th, the administrative order applies to ▲23 water parks ▲53 wedding halls ▲76 funeral halls ▲42 performance venues ▲25 movie theaters ▲69 bathhouses equipped with jjimjilbang facilities, totaling 288 locations.

Additionally, the province included mass events where more than 1,000 unspecified individuals gather as subjects of the administrative order.

The administrative order has been in effect since noon on the 26th and will remain until a separate cancellation order is issued, with a guidance period set until the 16th of next month.

Under the administrative order, operators of each targeted facility and event organizers must install electronic visitor logs or record all visitors using handwritten logs. For handwritten visitor logs, users must enter their name, phone number, and visit time, and present an identification card that can verify their identity.

Information provided through handwritten visitor logs is prohibited from being used for purposes other than intended under the Personal Information Protection Act, and the completed logs must be kept by the facility manager or event organizer for four weeks before being destroyed.

The province plans to guide the relevant facilities on the administrative order during the guidance period in cooperation with city and county governments, and will conduct joint on-site inspections thereafter. Facilities, mass events, and users who do not comply with the administrative order after the guidance period will be immediately subject to assembly bans and legal action.

In case of confirmed cases, the province also plans to pursue claims for hospitalization, treatment, and quarantine costs.

A provincial official stated, “While the administrative order may cause inconvenience in facility operation and use, it is an unavoidable measure to protect residents in case of confirmed cases, so we ask for active cooperation.”
