Daegu City Strengthens Quarantine Rules for Entertainment Venues... Business Suspended Until Epidemiological Investigation of Confirmed Establishments Completed
Businesses Violating Quarantine Rules: 1st Violation Warning → 10-Day Suspension of Operations
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Daegu City announced on the 9th that starting from the 8th, it has begun special reinforcement of quarantine rules to block the resurgence of COVID-19 at 3,199 entertainment facilities (karaoke rooms excluding entertainment bars, danran bars, and coin karaoke rooms).
This measure comes in response to the recent occurrence of numerous confirmed cases related to entertainment facilities in the Busan area, and the increasing number of confirmed cases in densely populated areas of entertainment facilities and bars frequently used by people in their 20s and 30s nationwide, including the Seoul metropolitan area.
Accordingly, businesses with confirmed cases were previously allowed to resume operations immediately after disinfection, but from now on, they must suspend operations until the epidemiological investigation is completed. This is a measure considering the difficulty of tracing infection routes when confirmed cases occur in entertainment facilities.
Along with this, according to the revision and enforcement of the "Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act Enforcement Rules," administrative measures will be strengthened for facilities violating quarantine rules. Previously, facilities that violated quarantine guidelines such as managing visitor lists, wearing masks, and facility management including disinfection and ventilation were given warnings for the first violation, but under the revised rules, a 10-day suspension of operations can now be imposed.

Chae Hong-ho, Deputy Mayor of Daegu City, urged, "Currently, confirmed cases are rapidly increasing mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area, and as this is a serious time when the 4th wave is feared, I hope that both facility managers and users will strictly follow the quarantine rules to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19 from becoming a reality."
