[앵커]

Starting today (the 13th), after the one-month trial period ended, the local government’s crackdown on “not wearing masks” began.

A fine of up to 100,000 won is imposed and citizens were uncomfortable but generally agreed.

This is reporter Lee Sang-soon on the report.

On the way to work in the morning, the bus stop in front of the main Samsung building in Jung-gu, Seoul.

Seoul city officials wearing ‘must wear masks’ shoulder straps greet citizens getting off the bus.

It is announced that if a mask is not worn, a fine of up to 100,000 won will be imposed from now on, regardless of the number of crackdowns.

At the same time, the campaign and repression took place in the nearby Gwanghwamun subway station.

Yet almost half the year when masks became mandatory, few people went out with their faces uncovered.

It is sometimes noticed by pedestrians and cyclists flashing their masks in the open air.

‘Tuxk’ or ‘Cosque’ that does not completely cover the mouth or nose can also be considered as no mask and a fine can be imposed.

However, those under the age of 14 who need help wearing a mask or who have difficulty breathing when wearing a mask are exceptions.

The same goes for food, appearance in broadcasts and identification.

You do not need to wear a mask if you can distance yourself more than 2 m from other people outdoors, such as walking in a park or hiking.

Many citizens say that strong repression is inevitable, but there are voices of distrust about the quarantine policy.

[지하철 이용객 : 정치를 잘해야지 그냥 이게 뭐냐고 진짜, 마스크 끼고 겨울에 가다가 눈 나빠 안경 낀 사람들은 죽는다니까… 이게 국민한테 할 일이냐고….]

The crackdown on the non-use of masks is expected to continue until the end of the crown crisis, so the inconveniences of the quarantine are expected to continue.
