[앵커]

The 31st of next week is ‘Halloween Day’.

Originally from the Anglo-American region, this festival has received a great response from young people in Korea for several years.

With the Corona 19 still in full swing, young people are flocking to parties and clubs, and there is concern that the outbreak will repeat itself.

Quarantine authorities have also detected an emergency.

Next week is ‘Halloween Day’.

How is the atmosphere in Itaewon?

This alley, full of discos and sensual bars, fills with citizens on weekend nights.

Like you said, a week later is ‘Halloween Day’.

Some clubs are popping up with a promotional poster saying you can enter for free on ‘Halloween Day’.

More than 100,000 people flock to Itaewon each year before and after ‘Halloween Day’.

Once again, there is growing concern that if that many people get together, the ‘collective Itaewon club infection’ that occurred in May could be reproduced.

Even then, the “distance” measures softened, the young people gathered at the club, and the confirmed patients left.

At the time, the number of confirmed patients was in the single digits, but now it’s a more serious situation, with close to a hundred people showing up every day in the metropolitan area.

Because of this, local governments and quarantine authorities are in an emergency.

Yongsan-gu, Seoul, where Itaewon belongs, requested that he refrain from visiting Itaewon during ‘Halloween Day’.

Furthermore, from the day after tomorrow (26) until the 1st of next month, we decided to start a quarantine inspection with one week as the ‘period of special quarantine measures’.

The joint inspection peninsula organized by related organizations such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency decided to inspect high-risk facilities such as awareness clubs and bars in Itaewon, Hongdae and Gangnam until the 3rd of next month.

In particular, on the 30th and 31st of the ‘Halloween Day’ period, we decided to carry out a joint crackdown at night.
