On the 7th, a day before the implementation of social distancing level 2.5 to respond to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the streets of Hongdae in Mapo-gu, Seoul, appeared quiet. Under this measure, starting from midnight on the 8th, in addition to five types of entertainment facilities, a gathering ban order prohibiting operations will be imposed on direct sales promotion centers such as door-to-door sales, karaoke rooms, indoor standing concert halls, and indoor sports facilities./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
