Repression on the use of masks in subway stations On the morning of the 13th, the first day of mandatory mask wearing, a member of the Seoul Metropolitan Government is cracking down on whether citizens wear masks on the platform at Gwanghwamun Station on Seoul Subway Line 5. According to the revised Infectious Disease Prevention Act, a fine of up to 100,000 won can be imposed if the mask is not worn from that day on. Reporter Park Young-dae [email protected]“Master, please pause! You have to put on a mask! “
A bus stop in front of a building in Jung-gu, Seoul around 8:20 am on the 13th. On the way to work, office workers rush to walk. Suddenly, a public official stopped a man riding a ‘tareungi’ bicycle. It’s because I didn’t wear a mask. With a confused expression, the man asked, “Should I wear a mask even when biking outdoors?” The official in charge said: “It is difficult to distance yourself from the busy journey, so you have to use it. He said, “You can be fined for negligence.” He took out the mask from his inside pocket and put it on. A walking middle-aged man with headphones and ‘tusk’ wore a mask up to his nose when a public official approached.
Five citizens were criticized for not wearing the masks correctly for 30 minutes. They wore masks in response to the first warning from public officials who came out of the crackdown and did not pay a separate sanction.
○ Citizens “They must wear positive masks
On the 13th of last month, a month has passed since the revised bill of the infectious disease prevention law, which contained the content of “mandatory to wear a mask”, was implemented. If a mask is not worn after the 13th, a fine of 100,000 won or less will be imposed regardless of the number of violations. Around 8 am at Gwanghwamun Station in Jongno-gu, Seoul, no citizen was singled out because he was not wearing a mask. Seoul officials, dressed in blue vests, observed people approaching the entrance doors with a “rape confirmation” and checked each and every one to see if they were wearing the masks correctly. However, there were no violations. A Seoul city official said: “It has been almost six months since the mass transit mask became mandatory, so it seems that citizens are familiar with it.” Kim Jae-won (31), a citizen who saw the crackdown at Gwanghwamun station, said: “It is good that wearing a mask is mandatory. Isn’t it dangerous since the number of confirmed cases per day remains in three digits? If it is compulsory, citizens will feel more alert ”. Citizen Anmo, 62, said: “There are few people who don’t wear masks these days, but some people with polarity don’t wear them, so we need to keep taking action.”
○ “I should use it in the bathroom and locker room”
According to the revised bill, landlords who fail to adequately guide their clients with quarantine guidelines, such as being required to wear a mask, must also pay a fine of 3 million won or less. For one infraction, the maximum is 1.5 million won, and for more than two times, the penalty is only 3 million won.
On that day, the owners of the bathhouse, computer room, etc., that Dong-A Ilbo visited, were concerned that they might be accidentally fined for negligence. Around 12 o’clock that day, there were about 10 office workers in a bathhouse in Jongno-gu who wanted to take a break for lunch, and they all took off their clothes in the locker room, put their masks on the changing room and moved to the bathroom. Even in the bathroom or pool, you should wear a mask in the locker room, not in the water or in the bathroom. Mr. A, in his 70s, who runs a bathhouse, said: “I posted a guide (for wearing a mask), but it is not easy to recommend that customers come and go to wear a mask all the time. .
PC room users generally wore the masks well, but customers who put down the masks to eat or drink were also noticeable. If you are eating or drinking something in a restaurant, you can take off the mask for a while. However, in the computer room, customers often ate slowly while playing games, so it took a long time to remove the mask. Yang Seung-je, 31, who runs a computer room in Seocho-gu, Seoul, said, “It is difficult to eat snacks for a long time while playing games. I think there will be a problem when I say, ‘Please eat it quickly and wear a mask.’
A Seoul city official said: “Employers do not have to pay fines if they post the guide to wearing a mask in a prominent place. If there is a customer who refuses to wear a mask, he can report it to the competent authority ”.
