In response to the government’s extension of 2.5 steps of social distancing, some gym owners are increasingly moving to open their businesses. Indoor sports facilities such as gyms and Pilates centers have been closed for almost a month since the beginning of last month, but this is a kind of demonstration since the quarantine authorities extended this measure until the 17th. Although it is the same indoor sports facility, some criticism is being raised that the standards themselves are ambiguous as Taekwondo is allowed to function in part due to “holiday care” and the ballet academy is subject to “school law” .
Oh Seong-young, president of the National Association of Health Club Directors, which operates a gym in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, said on his social networking service (SNS) on the morning of the 4th: “All the self-employed who they are prohibited from operating in the metropolitan area they will open normally “and” We will open normally maintaining quarantine regulations. He said: “Most of our people said we should go fast and dry in 3 steps from the start, but when K-quarantine he only showed self-praise, all the heads (government) and owners (national) who pay their salaries are starving. “Criticized. And he added:” I no longer want to hear them, “he added,” Return the salaries of senior officials two months each and return them to the freelancers thrown off the cliff. This is a warning that the owner gives to the mothers. “
National Petition “Average Indoor Gym Sales Are The Worst”
Cheong Wa Dae’s petitions for the government’s actions also appeared. On the 30th of last month, PIBA published a petition in the Blue House National Petitions Bulletin, saying: ‘In the era of the crown, indoor sports facilities also need limited and flexible operation.’ At 4 p.m. on the 4th, 170,000 people agreed.
The Federation said in the petition: “As of November 2020, small business sales compared to the same period last year were 63% in Seoul and 75% nationwide, and average sales in the sports industry were 21%, of which only 14% were indoor sports facilities. Criticized. At the same time, “Even at level 2.5 or higher, PC rooms work, restaurants and markets are open until 9:00 p. M., Cafes can carry takeout, convenience stores are open 24 hours, food and drinks are available, and libraries are limited. It is in operation. The bathhouse is also open, but the indoor sports facilities are completely closed. “
In this regard, Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Defense Countermeasures Headquarters, said: “I know that indoor sports facilities have many difficulties. The authorities regret it. For the collective actions of the businessmen, the government seeks a solution, and the distancing method is more sustainable. “We will make corrections and additions reflecting on-site opinions as possible.”
Taekwondo and soccer classes are not …
The operation of the academy in the metropolitan area resumed from the morning of the 4th, but the joys and the rains were mixed depending on the theme. Mr. A, who teaches soccer at an indoor sports center in Dongjak-gu, Seoul, complained that morning: “Parents have received inquiries from last weekend and the district office staff is waiting for guidance. because they said, ‘I’ll know.’ The nearby Taekwondo Center was divided into student numbers by time and adjusted to no more than 9, and classes started this morning. After calling the person in charge of the district office several times, Mr. A heard the response that “soccer is not allowed” only in the afternoon. Mr. A erupted in resentment, “It’s not just against justice, and shouldn’t I have told you to guide me in advance if you’re going to ban it?”
Taekwondo is an exceptionally permitted operation among indoor sports facilities in recognition of its caring role. On the other hand, football, basketball, etc. they were still classified as prohibited groups in the distance of 2.5 stages. This is because physical education academies are covered sports facilities that are not subject to the Academy Law (competence of the Ministry of Education), but to the Sports Facilities Law (competence of the Ministry of Culture and Sports). But ballet fell here with Taekwondo. An official from the Ministry of Education explained: “This is because the ballet academy is registered as a private institute, not as a sports facility.”
Entrance exam academies used primarily by middle and high school students were also discouraged. This is because parents pass their children through academia very similarly, making it virtually impossible to meet the criteria of ‘9 or less at the same time’. Seong-ho Lim, executive director of Sky Education at Jongno Academy, said: “I set up face-to-face classes only in anticipation of about 2.5 steps of social distancing, but they all switched to offline,” he said. “I believe that all special short-term vacation conferences should be conducted in a remote manner. In step 2.5, the academy can open two desks and operate until 9pm.
