Youngtong-gu Conducts Special Quarantine Inspections at PC Bangs and Karaoke Establishments

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young Reporter] Youngtong-gu in Suwon City launched special quarantine management inspections on the 3rd at PC bangs, karaoke rooms, and other distribution-related businesses, which are expected to see increased youth traffic following the end of the 2020 College Scholastic Ability Test.

Officials from the Gyeonggi Province Community-based Disaster Prevention Association and district government employees jointly conducted inspections of karaoke rooms, PC bangs, and other major youth facilities.

Under the implementation of strengthened Level 2 social distancing in the Seoul metropolitan area, karaoke rooms are prohibited from serving food and cannot operate after 9 p.m. PC bangs are prohibited from serving food except in cases where separate partitions are installed.

Community-based disaster prevention association members who participated in the joint inspection stated, “It was a meaningful and valuable time to work with government officials to conduct late-night inspections to prevent infectious disease transmission and check quarantine conditions at youth facilities,” and urged not only youth but all citizens to practice core quarantine guidelines and maintain social distancing.
