As the city of Gwangju extended its social distancing in the “ quasi-third stage, ” the self-employed who continued to ban businesses began to protest against him.

According to Gwangju City on the 11th, local Taekwondo officials, including the Gwangju Taekwondo Association, will meet with city officials at Gwangju City Hall and request that the ban on gathering be lifted. About 100 gym managers and employees plan to visit and petition.

On the 9th, when an extension of the distance between the streets was previously announced, the manufacturers of PC rooms visited the city hall and demanded that the ban on meetings be lowered. This time, the computer room went from group ban to group ban, subject to the ban on the entry of minors. On the same day, the owner of the screen golf course protested the extension measure and initiated a self-harm at the government building.

The next day, the 10th, the business owners who run Screen, Pilates and Futsal golf courses arrived and protested. In the future, collective action by employers is expected to continue, focusing on indoor sports facilities.
