Jeongeup-si Implements Special On-Site Crackdown on Social Distancing Level 2 Until the 28th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeollabuk-do announced on the 15th that it will conduct special on-site crackdowns on business activities after 9 PM at food service establishments such as general restaurants in accordance with the Level 2 social distancing administrative order.

The intensive crackdown period will last until the 28th, targeting a total of 1,812 establishments, including 1,368 general restaurants, 299 snack bars, 34 bakeries, and 111 entertainment bars.

Earlier, last weekend, the city formed nine teams with 18 inspectors to focus on the Suseong District, Yeonji District, and Sangdong Miso Street area, conducting a special simultaneous crackdown on whether business activities were conducted after 9 PM and whether quarantine guidelines were followed inside the establishments.

The city plans to continue focused management on restaurants frequently visited by citizens and those located in densely populated areas where many people gather, continuously inspecting compliance with quarantine rules at each establishment.

Furthermore, establishments that fail to comply with or violate quarantine rules will face administrative actions such as fines, and claims for damages (subrogation rights) will be pursued in case of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Meanwhile, under the Level 2 social distancing administrative order currently in effect in Jeollabuk-do, cafes are only allowed to offer takeout and delivery services.

Snack bars (such as bunshikjip, fast food, convenience stores, etc.) other than general restaurants and cafes may operate normally only until 9 PM, and from 9 PM onward, only takeout and delivery are permitted.

Heo Seongwook, Director of the Health Center, said, “We understand that many businesses are facing economic difficulties, but since everyone's health and safety are at risk, active cooperation from business owners is necessary,” and added, “We ask citizens to refrain from all outdoor activities except for essential outings.”
