Preventing Cafe-Originated Infections... Promoting 'Mask Wearing During Conversations'

Pilot operation targeting 75 cafes in the area from the 10th... Stamp created with phrases 'Wear a mask indoors' and 'Mask when talking'

'Cafe Mask Wearing Safety Rules' Stamp

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is launching a campaign to promote mask-wearing in cafes due to low awareness of the necessity of wearing masks during conversations in cafes, raising concerns about infection outbreaks.

In particular, with the recent occurrence of untraceable group infections originating from cafes, cafes have been identified as "vulnerable infection zones," increasing the importance of "wearing masks inside cafes."

Accordingly, starting from the 10th until the situation calms down, the district will conduct a pilot campaign promoting mask-wearing rules inside 75 cafes in the area.

The promotion method involves creating disinfecting rule stamps that guide mask-wearing, such as "Wear a mask indoors" and "Wear a mask when talking," which will be engraved on cup holders. If using stamps is difficult due to smudging issues, stickers will be used as a substitute.

The district plans to expand the campaign after reflecting on improvements following the pilot operation of the "mask-wearing promotion in cafes" using stamps.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Tension has heightened as an untraceable group infection recently occurred in a cafe," adding, "We decided to create stamps containing mask-wearing rules to raise awareness about wearing masks during conversations in cafes."
