[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Clubs located in Daegu Dongseong-ro have decided to voluntarily close during the weekend of Halloween Day on the 31st.


According to Daegu City on the 29th, this closure decision by the clubs was made in agreement between local governments and club operators to prevent similar cases of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) cluster spread originating from Itaewon, Seoul.


Daegu City plans to strengthen inspections of vulnerable establishments, including restaurants on Dongseong-ro Rodeo Street, to prevent a "balloon effect" where crowds intending to enjoy Halloween Day flock to other forms of illegal or irregular businesses instead of clubs due to the clubs' suspension of operations.



Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin emphasized, "Since new COVID-19 cases are still steadily occurring, we will focus on inspecting general restaurants operating in a club-like manner and will take firm action against establishments found violating quarantine rules or engaging in illegal or irregular operations."
