Suncheon City Inspects Quarantine Rules at Restaurants and Entertainment Venues Popular Among the 2030 Generation

Intensive Inspection of Entertainment Facilities like Room Soju Bars and Beer Houses, and General Restaurants

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 5th that, with the partial relaxation of quarantine measures under the newly applied Level 1 social distancing plan starting this month, special quarantine inspections will be conducted targeting restaurants, cafes, and entertainment facilities until the 14th.

The city formed an inspection team of 25 people divided into 4 groups to conduct focused nighttime inspections on entertainment facilities such as room soju bars and beer houses, as well as general restaurants, mainly in the Jorye-dong area frequented by young people in their 20s and 30s, and plans to continue inspections at least once a week.

They will focus on checking compliance with facility-specific quarantine rules such as the ban on private gatherings of 9 or more people, adherence to the allowed number of users at the same time, (electronic) visitor log entries, and mask-wearing.

Strong measures such as fines will be imposed on businesses violating quarantine rules, and for those with deficiencies, quarantine guideline promotional materials will be distributed to encourage compliance.

A city official said, “With the relaxed quarantine rules, there is a risk that vigilance against COVID-19 may become lax. As the number of confirmed cases is increasing mainly in the metropolitan area and the highly transmissible Delta variant is spreading, we ask both business owners and users to strictly follow the quarantine rules for everyone's safety.”
