[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Jeonbuk Province has launched on-site inspections targeting all wedding halls (35 locations) in the area to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the community.

According to Jeonbuk Province on the 27th, with the nationwide expansion of Social Distancing Level 2, fewer than 50 people must stay within completely separated spaces, and there must be no movement or contact with people in other spaces.

For weddings, the number of attendees must comply with the gathering and event limits: fewer than 50 people indoors and fewer than 100 people outdoors.

Also, in principle, masks must be worn indoors except when eating, so it is recommended to use return gifts instead of meals, and if food is inevitably provided, a distance of at least 2 meters (minimum 1 meter) must be maintained.

Prospective couples and wedding service providers are mostly cooperating with Social Distancing Level 2 by postponing or reducing the number of attendees for already booked weddings.

According to a provincial official who completed on-site inspections of wedding halls last weekend, “Most wedding halls in the province are actively cooperating with social distancing,” adding, “All wedding hall staff and visitors, except the bride and groom, are wearing masks and actively participating in social distancing.”

Jeonbuk Province and city and county governments plan to continue regularly checking wedding venues to ensure that quarantine rules are strictly followed in order to block community cluster infections.
