A youth street near Judy Stahwa department store in Seomyeon, Busan, around 10pm on the 31st of last month, ‘Halloween Day’. Quarantine authorities repeatedly demanded they refrain from the meetings, saying, “I am concerned about the spread of Corona 19 starting on Halloween.” Various appearances stood out, such as dressing as if the face was wounded, or wearing a witch or ghost costume. The streets were packed with people, so there was no time to tread, but some passersby were not even wearing masks properly.
Busy streets of youth, city bars
Some nomasks are missing
The Haeundae area is a peaceful environment
Kim Mo (23), a college student who visited Seomyeon that day, said, “Because college classes weren’t held face to face, I decided to find reasons that I didn’t see often.” Hurried on. Park Mo (29), an office worker, said: “I heard it is Halloween day, but I have never seen so many people since the coronavirus outbreak.”
On the 31st and 30th of Halloween Day, the 15 entertainment clubs and bars in Seomyeon were closed, but the youth were not worried. The bar next to the club with the ‘Closed Notice’ filled up early in the evening, and the store entrance was full of young people waiting for entry. Guests who were in line or seated inside did not properly follow quarantine rules, such as gathering three or three to speak.
A bar in Seomyeon was seized by quarantine authorities when the owner was greeted by a customer without a mask and took corrective action. In this process, the owner said: “What do you do when you are busy? If you catch a pod this way, who will not be caught? “Bong-soo Cho, head of the food safety team in Busanjin-gu, explained,” If the owner or employee does not wear a mask properly, there is concern that Corona 19 will spread significantly. “
On the same day, Haeundae was a little busier than Seomyeon. Gunam-ro restaurants and pubs near Haeundae Beach created a cautious atmosphere by minimizing Halloween marketing. Some bars and restaurants in Gunam-ro were temporarily closed that day in an emergency. Thanks to the ongoing patrol activities of the USFK military police and police on this day, there was no disturbance such as the ‘Haeundae US Army Firecracker Riot’ that occurred in July this year.
The City of Busan verified 2,270 high-risk facilities such as Gamseong clubs and pubs in Busan from 30 to 31 last month with relevant organizations such as the Busan Police Agency, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and Busan Jin-gu. On day 1 it was revealed that five sites were captured.
