"Everyone Gather, Eat Without Hesitation" Busan City Distributes Informational Table Stickers Including Vaccinated Individuals

Guidance on Seating for Vaccinated Companions at Over 3,600 Restaurants

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A ‘table’ where many people can comfortably sit and enjoy food will soon be available in Busan.

On the 7th, Busan City announced that it will distribute ‘COVID-19 Vaccination Completed Seat Guide Signs’ to about 3,600 safe restaurants and hygiene grade designated restaurants in the area to verify whether vaccinated individuals are accompanied.

The current social distancing level in Busan is level 3, and as an incentive for those who have completed vaccination 14 days ago, private gatherings of up to 8 people are allowed.

Since general customers cannot verify whether vaccinated individuals are included, and restaurants may miss checking during busy hours, Busan City decided to produce and distribute guide signs to alleviate this inconvenience.

The vaccination completed seat guide sign is made in sticker form.

This sticker can be attached directly to seats or tables, or placed on acrylic panels to indicate tables that include vaccinated individuals.

In restaurants, when groups of five or more visit, they can check vaccination completion status and guide customers to tables for vaccinated individuals or place the guide sign indicating the table includes vaccinated persons.

Busan City expects that the vaccination completed guide signs will relieve citizens’ anxiety when using restaurants and contribute to creating a safe dining culture in the COVID-19 era.

Jo Bong-su, Director of the Citizen Health Bureau of Busan City, said, “As incentives for vaccinated individuals expand, verifying vaccination completion has become important,” adding, “We hope this helps self-employed people suffering from the prolonged COVID-19 situation while allowing customers to use restaurants with peace of mind.”
