Gwangju Seo-gu Reports 14 Entertainment Establishments for Infectious Disease Prevention Law Violations
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 27th that it has filed complaints against 14 entertainment bars in the district for violating Article 49 (Preventive Measures for Infectious Diseases) of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act during the period of administrative orders prohibiting or restricting gatherings due to the spread of COVID-19.
In May, Gwangju issued flexible administrative orders prohibiting or restricting gatherings to block community transmission as secondary infections increased from confirmed cases at clubs in the metropolitan area and recently from entertainment establishments in the Sangmu district.
During the administrative order period, Seo-gu, together with Gwangju City and the police, has continuously inspected the relevant establishments to ensure compliance with quarantine rules.
As a result of the inspections, Seo-gu identified 3 entertainment establishments violating the gathering ban, 2 establishments violating the indoor gathering restriction of 50 or more people, and 9 establishments violating core quarantine rules such as visitor logs during the administrative order period since May, filing complaints against a total of 14 establishments with judicial authorities.
For establishments that violated the administrative orders during the gathering ban and restriction periods, complaint filings, gathering ban orders, and claims for damages (subrogation rights) including hospitalization, treatment, and quarantine costs due to confirmed cases will be imposed.
