On October 31, in celebration of Halloween, a crowd of young people with a Halloween feeling gathered in the main areas of central Seoul.

Even in Itaewon, Seoul, where a massive infection occurred in May, many citizens gathered and grew apart.

Itaewon is a place where many people gather every year during Halloween. How is it today?

[기자]

Yes, it is close to midnight, but the streets of Itaewon here are bright as noon and crowded enough that you don’t have time to set foot.

Our reporter moved from Hongdae in Seoul to Itaewon two hours ago, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of Halloween incomparably.

As you can see from the back, citizens dressed in skulls and characters enjoy the festival while taking photos of each other, and each store is filled with Halloween decorations.

There are so many people in the streets where there are bars and shops above where I am, which makes it difficult to pass.

Here in Itaewon, a group infection occurred mainly in the club during the May Christmas season.

I thought there were a lot of people visiting Itaewon this Halloween, but it is packed with crowds as the center of Halloween culture.

Itaewon merchants set up so-called quarantine gates to prevent the same group infection as last time, and all five clubs were closed.

Most citizens on the street wear masks well, but it is difficult to keep a distance and some people do not wear masks.

Faced with this situation, citizens who came to the city center said they were concerned about the infection.

Let’s listen for a moment.

Quarantine authorities are also launching a special Halloween crackdown on concerns about infection.

[기자]

Yes it is.

Seoul City began checking quarantine regulations in 7 main areas of central Seoul starting at 10:00 p.m.

To celebrate this Halloween, 85 entertainment establishments, including 22 clubs in downtown Seoul and 46 sensational bars, have voluntarily closed their businesses.

Popular clubs and taverns were closed, but some emotional taverns and pubs are still open, so we decided to check the quarantine rules.

On the internet, clubs outside of Seoul, such as Suwon, opened their doors, and photos of the inside of people not wearing masks were also posted.

The city of Seoul has also cracked down on restaurants in general, such as bars and pubs, due to concerns about the balloon effect in bars rather than clubs.

In this inspection, we will focus on rules like wearing a mask for employees and keeping a table 1 meter away.

Already yesterday, 14 of the 234 pubs and restaurants in general violated the quarantine rules during the day.

Quarantine authorities plan to take administrative action against business owners who violate quarantine rules on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.
