Guri-si Begins Full-Scale Crackdown on Mask Non-Compliance

[Asia Economy (Guri) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province has begun full-scale crackdowns on those not wearing masks.

On the 31st, Guri City announced that as a follow-up measure to the Gyeonggi Province mask-wearing mandatory administrative order, it has formed a joint inspection team (7 members) with the province and Guri Police Station to educate and conduct full-scale crackdowns on those not wearing masks.

Accordingly, all managers, workers, and users of indoor and outdoor facilities and places within Guri City must strictly comply with the mask-wearing method presented by the quarantine authorities (covering the mouth and nose, worn without gaps).

Users who do not wear masks without a valid reason will be fined: managers and operators will face fines up to 3 million won, and users up to 100,000 won, starting from October 13.

Additionally, beauty salons, massage shops, massage clinics, and massage parlors, where wearing masks at all times is difficult, have been added to the list of businesses required to complete health status questionnaires. Violations may result in fines up to 3 million won according to relevant laws.

Mayor Ahn Seung-nam of Guri City urged, "For the safety of yourself, your family, and the community, everyone should consider themselves as participants in quarantine efforts. Since masks are the minimum defense vaccine, except in unavoidable cases such as eating, please refrain from wearing masks improperly, such as under the chin, and actively participate in social distancing."
