[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on March 24 that it will conduct a joint inspection on compliance with COVID-19 prevention rules targeting three major business types including PC bangs, noraebang, and club-type businesses.
Accordingly, the province will conduct intensive inspections jointly with cities and counties from today through April 6, the first day of school for elementary, middle, and high schools, targeting a total of 15,084 facilities including 7,642 noraebang establishments, 7,297 PC bangs, and 145 club-type businesses such as coreography clubs in the province.
Previously, the province underwent a guidance period until March 23 following Governor Lee Jae-myung's emergency press conference and administrative order restricting close-contact use on March 18. The inspection period will be extended if necessary.
Inspection items are as follows: ▲Designation of infection control manager ▲Mask-wearing by all users and staff ▲Prohibition of symptomatic individuals with fever, sore throat, cough, etc. from entry (inspection of staff twice daily) ▲Preparation and management of visitor logs (name, contact information, entry and exit times, etc.) ▲Hand disinfection for all entrants (availability of hand sanitizer) ▲Efforts to maintain maximum distance between users ▲Ventilation of business premises and disinfection and cleaning before and after operations—seven items in total.
Relevant departments and organizations overseeing multi-use facilities will organize and operate their own inspection teams and establish cooperative relationships with cities and counties to conduct inspections. Fourteen teams comprising 131 personnel from the Gyeonggi Provincial Special Judicial Police will support fact-finding inspections and quarantine activities, and the Gyeonggi Southern and Northern Regional Police Agencies, Fire and Disaster Headquarters, and Northern Fire and Disaster Headquarters will also provide administrative support.
Based on the final inspection results, the province plans to implement administrative measures including fines of up to 3 million won in accordance with Article 80 of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act.
A provincial official stated, “The government is implementing strengthened 'physical distancing' through April 6 to lower the COVID-19 risk level and transition to sustainable quarantine measures,” and urged, “Since this inspection is unavoidable for early overcoming of COVID-19, active cooperation from the relevant businesses is necessary.”
