[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam has issued an administrative order banning gatherings at 13 PC bangs located in Jinyeong-eup from 12:00 PM on the 18th to 12:00 AM on the 31st to prevent and block the spread of COVID-19, as confirmed cases have continued to occur at PC bangs in Jinyeong-eup.

This unavoidable decision was made to block community infectious diseases due to the increasing risk of infection following the first confirmed case at a PC bang in Jinyeong-eup on the 9th and the continuous occurrence of cases thereafter.

The city has organized day and night inspection teams to enforce quarantine rules at PC bangs and has been conducting intensive inspections for a month starting from the 15th to prevent infection.

Han Kyung-yong, Director of the Culture and Arts Division, stated, “Gimhae City will do its best to block COVID-19 at PC bangs. Although both operators and users of PC bangs may experience inconvenience and difficulties, we ask for active participation in seriously considering the current national crisis situation.”
