“I have no problem eating the mask, and I don’t know why I only have a problem with the gym, since Taekwondo and the academy are also open”
Lee, who has a gym in Yongsan, Seoul, resumed activities on the 4th. It was reopened in just over a month. Mr. Lee said, “There is no fear of infection from members who exercise while wearing masks” and “shower use was also prohibited.”
As the equity controversy over the government’s business suspension measures intensifies, the group actions of the self-employed are serious. Gym owners, who had been closed for four weeks due to the government’s 2.5-step extension to maintain social distancing measures, started open protests to restart business. According to the Korea Fitness Administrators Association (KFMA), more than 300 gyms in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Busan have already resumed their activities.
In this movement, the action of the quarantine authorities the day before turned into a frenzy. The group’s ban on indoor sports facilities such as gyms was extended until the 17th, while for small sports facilities registered as academies such as Taekwondo and Ballet, business was threatened if there were 9 or fewer teachers at the same time. It means that it has provoked a backlash from the self-employed. Gym owners are holding a group action called ‘Open Demonstration’ to reopen the gym door in protest, saying: “It is the same indoor sports facility, but there is no fairness in the quarantine policy to which different apply standards “. In the online community of real gym operators, posts that the gym has been opened are lining up. Oh Seong-young, the director of the National Association of Health Club Directors, who runs a gym in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, also wrote on Instagram on the 4th, “We will open normally while following the quarantine rules.” .
The position of the quarantine authorities makes no sense. They say they are concerned about the dangers of using indoor sports like splashing, the difficulty of wearing a mask, and using exercise equipment together. However, even here, gym owners are protesting that there is no problem in making guidelines.
The problem is that there is a growing possibility that group-repulsion movements by the industry will spread like dominoes. Even the cafe owners are not serious at the moment. They launched an online community called the ‘National Association of Cafeteria Presidents’ and took action as a group by filing a collective complaint with the Ministry of Health and Welfare. One business owner said: “Taekwondo centers, ballet classes and academies cannot open the door at all in the case of gyms, etc., and the government, which provides convenience due to concern for the careful during the holidays “Isn’t it frustrating to think of measures that don’t fit?”, he complained, “if this is going to happen, it will be short and thick in 3 steps from the beginning, or quarantine is not possible and the owners of the stores are on the way to bankruptcy. ” / Reporter Lee Sang-hoon [email protected]
