The city of Seoul received a second ‘ban on ordering’ card, which is actually a business suspension, at the entertainment center in response to a massive infection of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) from the Itaewon Club.
Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon held an emergency briefing that was not scheduled for the afternoon of the 9th and said, “Now, we will issue an order to ban all entertainment facilities, including clubs, emotional pubs, colatech and salons “.
The order to prohibit collective collection is literally ‘prohibit the gathering of several people’ and can be issued by a provincial governor for the prevention of infectious diseases in accordance with the Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act.
Due to the nature of the entertainment facilities where multiple people inevitably gather if they do business, the order to ban collectively has the same effect as the order to suspend business.
This is the second time that the city of Seoul has ordered a ban on entertainment facilities due to the 19 crown incident.
The city ordered a ban on the gathering of 2,146 entertainment venues in the center for the first time on the 8th of last month, as the number of visitors to the great entertainment district in Gangnam, ㅋㅋ & Trend, visitors, establishments and peers was confirmed. of employee room.
At that time, since March 10, almost a month ago, many of the entertainment establishments were closed because public officials advised them to stop working while conducting a field investigation to see if the entertainment establishment was complying with regulations. quarantine. However, the city of Seoul issued a mandatory order considering the characteristics of entertainment establishments where close contact could easily occur and customer information could not be easily verified.
The second order prohibiting the collective order is the same as the first order, but it can be seen as a stronger measure given the conditions and circumstances. Mayor Park said he would not set a deadline for this set of bans, and said he would keep this order until a separate order was issued. The first order was due April 8-19.
In April, it was a time when “social distance” was maintained, which was higher than the “current distance in life”.
Although the current situation has shifted to slightly relaxed “life prevention”, the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s order to ban the meeting indefinitely is a demonstration that the situation at Club Itaewon is more serious than the situation in Gangnam in April.
In contrast to the initial concern at the time of Gangnam establishment, there were not many additional infections. In the Itaewon Club group infection, 27 confirmed cases occurred in Seoul only until noon on day 9, three days after the first confirmed person (Yongin, Gyeonggi-do number 66). It reached 40 people.
In Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, there are 39 confirmed people in the metropolitan area, but even in Busan, the most distant metropolis of Seoul, a related expert emerges to raise concerns.
From the 30th of the last month to the 5th of this month, during the so-called “ Golden Holidays ”, those who want to enjoy entertainment from all over the country came to Itaewon and dispersed again, and they may continue to be “ preachers without sound ”.
Three foreign confirmers living in Itaewon 2-dong, Yongsan-gu, visited Itaewon’s ‘King’ and ‘Queen’ clubs near the house during the golden holidays, as well as other establishments such as ‘Damotori 5’ in Sinchon-dong, Seodaemun-gu.
Furthermore, unlike the initial presumption that the first patient, Yongin 66, would have caused this group infection, authorities are optimistic that it is likely due to sporadic transmission, which is difficult to trace the source of infection.
Kwon Joon-wook, deputy director general of the Central Office for Quarantine and Countermeasures, expressed his opinion during the briefing on Day 9 and said: “There are other cases where symptoms are expressed on the patient’s first day and symptoms appear on second day of the club visit. Because there was one. ”
This suggests that it is difficult to trace the source of the infection and, in many cases, it may not be possible to identify it.
The fact that the Itaewon Club situation erupted as the atmosphere of the Corona 19 border became socially loose is considered the background to the mandate of the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
Unlike in April, when overseas confirmers continued and consumption tended to cool, now is the time for people to become more active as the weather goes through the golden holidays and the weather breaks free.
Furthermore, even if you asked clubs and other entertainment companies to comply with quarantine regulations, such as making an entry list, it is also mandatory to note that the rules are not being properly followed, as only 637 of the 1,946 listed presented by the clubs in question received calls. It becomes a cause of mobilization.
Mayor Park said, “Every citizen must live more responsibly as a quarantine agent.” This is not a matter for one or two of the clubs, but it puts at risk all citizens who have followed the rules thoroughly. “The voice said.
