Daegu City Closes 9 Clubs in Dongseong-ro for Violating COVID-19 Quarantine Rules

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Daegu City announced on the 30th that it issued a gathering ban order and closure measures for nine clubs in the downtown Dongseong-ro area that violated the 'gathering restriction' quarantine rules on the 29th.

On the 29th, during a joint police inspection of high-risk facilities for COVID-19 such as entertainment bars, karaoke rooms, and PC cafes, Daegu City checked compliance with quarantine rules at 136 locations (72 entertainment bars, 25 danran bars, 35 karaoke rooms, 4 PC cafes) and identified violating businesses.

Since the implementation of 'Social Distancing Level 2' from midnight on the 24th, Daegu City conducted inspections of 2,124 locations by the 29th, issuing gathering bans to 11 locations and business suspensions to 3 locations. The number of businesses fined was 27, and 5 locations were subject to correction orders.

Meanwhile, on the 23rd, when the government expanded the metropolitan area’s social distancing Level 2 nationwide, Daegu City, concerned about the rapid economic downturn in the region, imposed gathering restrictions under the name 'Daegu-type Level 2' on 13 high-risk facility types, instead of a gathering ban, based on compliance with quarantine rules.
