[사회]Gym may open tomorrow … “No adults”

[앵커]

The ban on the business of indoor sports facilities such as gyms and swimming pools, which was applied to prevent the spread of Corona 19 infection, will be partially lifted as of tomorrow.

However, since adults cannot use it, doubts arise about its effectiveness.

In addition, it seems that the singing practice centers and academies will be open from the 18th.

Reporter Park Hong-gu about the report.

Phase 2.5 of social distancing in the metropolitan area, which has been extended twice since the 8th of last month, and is applied for the 5th week.

As businesses, such as academies, gyms, and singing practice centers, experienced difficulties earning a living, a backlash erupted.

Furthermore, group actions continued as the government allowed only 7 sports facilities, including Taekwondo and Kumdo, to open on the 4th to resolve the care gap.

Finally, the government decided to allow the operation of all indoor sports facilities, such as a gym, a golf driving range and a tennis court, applying the same conditions as Taekwondo.

It is intended for children and students only and will limit the number of teachers to 9 or fewer for the same time period.

A government official acknowledged that adult facilities such as gyms are not effective, but stressed that “there is a focus on allowing a level playing field.”

The government also decided to go ahead with a plan to allow the sale of singing practice centers and academies after the end of the 2.5-stage distance in the metropolitan area on the 17th.

We will reassess the risk level of each facility to lift trade restrictions, but will strengthen penalties if they violate quarantine rules.

Additionally, quarantine regulations will be adjusted for coffees where only packing and delivery is allowed.

The error correction is repeated only after the government has taken quarantine measures that are not in line with reality and a massive revolt has emerged.

It is noted that if government quarantine guidelines lose confidence, it may be difficult to attract cooperation and sacrifice from people in the future.
