On the 13th, the first day that the policy of imposing fines on non-users was enforced through “mandatory masks”, most citizens appeared to be familiar with the basic quarantine rules. On this day, the Seoul Metropolitan Government law enforcement team, which began cracking down on the wearing of masks in various locations in Seoul, prepared a ‘Confirmation of Rape’, which was issued when a person who failed to implement a mask after warning was not used.
Several ‘transparent glass covers’ were captured
The Food Safety Team of the Seoul Food Policy Division checked whether citizens wore masks in the usual restaurants and cafes in Bukchang-dong and Seosomun starting at 12:00 pm. Most citizens followed quarantine guidelines, including wearing quarantine masks. ‘Tuxk’ and ‘Cosk’ were also hard to find. However, there were not a few cases of employees working in some restaurants generally wearing ‘clear masks’ or ‘thighs’. At a rib house in Bukchang-dong, an employee wearing a transparent mouth guard, such as KF94 or a dental mask, was detected that was not for quarantine.
The official in charge of the repression warned: “The boss and the two cooks in the kitchen must wear a quarantine mask, not a transparent mouth guard.” The restaurant president complained: “No matter how airy the kitchen is, it is difficult to breathe when cooking in front of the fire.” He also said: “I understand in terms of politics, but I think it should have been prepared with this kitchen situation in mind.”
At another restaurant, two out of four employees wore clear visors. “Please replace it with a quarantine mask. Now, now,” a Seoul official urged them to say, “By Kim …” Some kitchen employees wore transparent face shields. The law enforcement team advised that if you wear a face shield, wear it with a mask. In addition, valve-type masks and mesh masks are also subject to repression, but there have been no cases of this case among ordinary citizens.
Wear a mask as much as possible in the bathroom
A franchise cafe also aired an advertisement to ‘wear a mask’ according to instructions from a public official. When asked by the cafe staff: “There are cases where it is not accepted even if you ask to wear a mask. What should I do in this case?”, The law enforcement team explained: “If they provide guidance, only the part that does not use it. ” The repression team toured around 10 restaurants and cafes in general, asking restaurant workers to wear masks in any case and advising customers to wear masks except when eating or drinking.
The crackdown on the wearing of masks on this day was carried out at the district level in addition to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. In addition to restaurants, police officers were assigned to swimming pools and bathrooms. An official from the Jongno-gu office said, “We gave guidance to wear masks as much as possible in the bathroom locker room and in the jjimjilbang.”
Park Kyung-oh, Head of the Food Policy Division, Food Safety Team, said: “Unlike before, when administrative action was taken immediately after detection, if a person not wearing a mask immediately implements the recommendation , there may be limitations on enforcement or controversy over effectiveness. ” He said he was meticulously guided to wear a mask and that guests should do the same. ”
Landlord complaints about “customers are uncomfortable”
Some of the citizens who witnessed the repression of the masks even complained that it was too much. “It was a bit awkward watching people come in and crack down while eating rice,” said Choi, who went out to eat with a colleague. Kim Mo (61), who came out after eating at a nearby restaurant, said: “Most people wear masks for their own health. I think it is a waste of labor and excessive treatment to go to the crackdown to claim fines “. said.
Restaurant owners also expressed reluctance. A baekban owner said, “I’m running a lunch business, but it’s hard to crack down and go out. Customers are uncomfortable.” Some owners said, “I’m busy because it’s lunch time, so come later.”
On the other hand, there were also positive reactions. Lee Mo (28) said: “It often happens that people wear masks in public transport, and I think it will have the effect of making those cases disappear by making them mandatory.”
Each autonomous district establishes a ’24-hour mask civil complaint handling emergency response team’ to encourage the use of masks and resolve related conflicts. It will operate in each autonomous region for two weeks from 13 to 27 to quickly resolve complaints that may arise in the first moments of the repression.
Meanwhile, the number of confirmed cases rose by 191 as cases of infection from the COVID-19 group appeared one after another across the country. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun expressed concern about the Corona 19 Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters meeting, saying: “It may be necessary to seriously consider increasing the distance.”
