Ganghwa County Intensifies Inspections on Gathering Bans at Multi-Use Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County announced on the 26th that it will implement sustained high-intensity inspection and management as the gathering ban on multi-use facilities such as entertainment establishments was extended for an additional two weeks starting from the 24th.

Incheon City extended the administrative order banning gatherings at multi-use facilities including room salons, dance clubs, karaoke rooms, and coin-operated song rooms through "Incheon City Measures Extended for Cluster Infection Prevention" until June 7th. It also recommended that academies, PC rooms, indoor sports facilities, and song practice rooms comply with quarantine guidelines and exercise caution in operations.

Accordingly, the county conducted a comprehensive survey of 24 entertainment establishments, 21 dance clubs, and other venues at high risk of COVID-19 spread among businesses subject to the gathering ban, including room salons, dance clubs, and coin-operated song rooms, and completed posting "gathering ban notices" and "notifications."

Additionally, the county plans to continuously promote "social distancing in daily life" quarantine guidelines such as hand washing, mask wearing, ventilation at least twice daily, and periodic disinfection at multi-use facilities not included in this target.

Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "I express gratitude to all county residents who are actively cooperating with the national crisis situation despite the inconvenience and economic difficulties caused by successive gathering bans for both facility operators and users," and added, "We take the current situation seriously and will do our best to ensure swift return to normalcy and the safety of all residents without letting down our guard."
