[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 12th that it will conduct a special inspection on compliance with quarantine rules at all 272 bathhouses following a cluster outbreak of COVID-19 confirmed cases at a bathhouse in Jinju City.

On the afternoon of the 12th, the city held an emergency meeting with the Changwon City Bathhouse Branch and is actively supporting disinfection and voluntary quarantine within bathhouses, including providing disinfectors and disinfectants to the Korea Bathhouse Association Changwon Branch.

The main inspection items include management of visitor logs, users wearing masks, prohibition of food consumption inside bathhouses, posting the number of allowed users at entrances, and posting notices prohibiting conversation during bathing.
