[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 15th that it will conduct focused preemptive quarantine management inspections in response to the recent outbreak of COVID-19 cluster infections centered around bathhouse businesses in Gyeongnam Province.

The city will form guidance and inspection teams to check for violations of quarantine rules at 99 bathhouse businesses by the 19th.

The main inspection items include management of visitor logs, posting and guidance on compliance with quarantine rules such as mandatory mask-wearing by users, ventilating facilities at least twice a day, advising against consuming food inside the facilities, and limiting the number of users to one person per 4㎡ of reported facility area.

Additionally, preemptive COVID-19 testing will be conducted for about 500 bathhouse workers in the area.

Minor violations will be corrected on site, while serious violations or repeated high-level offenses will be strictly dealt with through administrative measures such as administrative sanctions, fines, closure orders, and prosecution in accordance with relevant laws.

A Gimhae City official said, “If you feel unwell, please stay home as much as possible, avoid meeting others, and if you have symptoms such as muscle pain or chills, do not take them lightly and contact the quarantine authorities. When using multi-use facilities such as bathhouses inevitably, please strictly follow the quarantine rules to prevent cluster infections.”
