[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] The Jeonbuk Gimje City Health Center has launched on-site inspections of high-risk facilities obligated to comply with strengthened quarantine guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.


On the 31st, the health center announced that it will conduct on-site guidance inspections targeting medium-risk and high-risk facilities where compliance with quarantine rules is mandatory, in accordance with the strengthened Level 2 social distancing measures until the 6th of next month.


The target facilities include medium-risk facilities such as general restaurants (150㎡ or larger), bathhouses, saunas, and high-risk facilities such as entertainment bars and karaoke bars. Inspection teams composed of hygiene management officials and consumer monitors will check compliance with quarantine rules.


The inspection items include ▲ preparation of visitor logs (electronic or handwritten logs) ▲ mask-wearing by business owners and workers (except when eating or during water activities) ▲ maintaining a distance of 2 meters (at least 1 meter) between users.


When violations are detected, according to the "Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act," a first warning and corrective action will be issued along with a confirmation letter. For a second violation, a gathering ban order and legal action will be taken, and in case of confirmed cases, claims for damages will be pursued with strong measures.


Additionally, users are also required to comply with rules such as preparing visitor logs, wearing masks indoors, and maintaining a 2-meter distance between users.



Heo Jeong-gu, Director of the Health and Hygiene Division, said, "With the rapid spread of COVID-19 infections originating from the metropolitan area, confirmed cases continue to occur in Jeonbuk Province, so we cannot afford to let our guard down," and added, "To prevent further spread, we ask citizens to strictly follow quarantine rules such as wearing masks."
