As a result of a joint nightly inspection of Halloween-related clubs, hunting pots and gamseong bars, from October 30 to 31, quarantine authorities and local governments related to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) , 5 locations were found in Busan City, Gyeonggi Province. He said there were no violations. However, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has not yet reported.

Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said in a subsequent briefing on day 3: “As a result of the nightly joint inspection of hunting sticks and pots on 30 and 31 October, Gyeonggi-do inspected 1,480 locations and there were no special violations. ” “As a result of the inspection of 2,270 locations, 5 businesses were found that violate quarantine regulations.”

Earlier, quarantine authorities and Seoul, Busan, and Gyeonggi-do conducted a joint nightly inspection of emotional clubs, hunting pots and pubs on the 30th and 31st of last month during Halloween.

Halloween is reminiscent of a group infection from the Itaewon club, which spread like a national pandemic in May. Quarantine authorities announced intensive quarantine activities ahead of Halloween, and some clubs in Seoul announced voluntary closures.

However, on that day, in the areas where the youths gathered, such as Hongdae and Itaewon, youths in various cosplay costumes were seen visiting bars and restaurants. If the spread of Corona 19 has progressed by the time of Halloween, a full-blown confirmed case is expected to occur around day 4, considering the incubation period.

“In Gyeonggi-do, there were no special violations, but there were no special violations in Gyeonggi-do,” said Yoon, general manager of quarantine. “No,” he added.
