[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 25th that it will implement an administrative order banning gatherings for businesses related to entertainment facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community, as confirmed cases have recently increased.

Mayor Kim Il-kwon held an emergency briefing on the afternoon of the 25th and announced that from 6 PM on the 26th until 6 PM on June 1, an administrative order banning gatherings will be issued for entertainment bars, karaoke bars, and singing practice rooms.

This measure is to block transmission as cases of visitors to Yangsan and users of facilities testing positive have increased due to the balloon effect caused by strengthened social distancing in nearby regions such as Busan and Ulsan.

Earlier, on the 24th, the city issued an administrative order requiring COVID-19 testing and submission of worker lists for entertainment bar employees. The first test is to be completed by the 26th, and the second test within one week from the first test date. As of the first day of the administrative order, 132 entertainment workers have been tested.

Mayor Kim said, “For the health of my family, neighbors, and further, the citizens of Yangsan, I ask that you faithfully comply with this gathering ban and mandatory testing administrative order,” adding, “Our city will continue to take immediate preemptive measures to block risk factors early whenever there is even a small suspicion.”
