The Central Headquarters for Disaster Countermeasures and Security announced on the 2nd that social distancing adjustments were made and changed its policy so that schools in the metropolitan area and ski resorts throughout the country can operate in a manner limited by the number of people and the weather.
In the case of the academies in the metropolitan area, it was decided to allow the number of students to be limited to nine or less at the same time. Ski slopes, snow toboggan runs and ice rinks may also operate on a limited basis. The condition is that the capacity is limited to one third and is open until 9:00 p.m.
However, there were no mention of indoor sports facilities such as gyms and Pilates centers that were closed for almost a month. As a result, the health and pilates industry, where the ban on gatherings was extended, strongly protested, saying it was an unfair move.
Lee Mo (40), who runs a Pilates academy in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, said: “Restaurants, cafes and academies allow some business, but we are angry with the strict standards only for sports facilities.” “The proportion of people is high, but because of the crown, there are many cases of short-term registration or request for a membership refund, which is hurting sales.”
In the online community, articles about the opening of the gym from day 4. The community predicted the group’s action, saying: “We have decided to open the gym from day 4 to protest the unreasonable and unfair ban on gatherings.” and “We will open the door of the center in protest.”
Among academy workers it was pointed out that this measure was ineffective and that the reality was a ‘desk administration’. Kim Mo (35), who runs a practical music academy, commented on the guidelines of the quarantine authorities: “It was a decision made without knowing the reality of limiting the size of the academy to only 9 people unconditionally.” , There is an academy with a size of 10 pyeong, and it is more realistic to limit the number of people per area ”.
Sohn Young-rae, head of the Accident Recovery Headquarters Strategic Planning Division (heavy water version), responded to the dispute over fairness by dividing the types of businesses allowed for business in indoor sports facilities, saying: “Partially allowing businesses like academies and Taekwondo alleviates the burden of parenting. It was a move to do so,” he explained.
Meanwhile, as the period of social distancing stretched by two weeks, the sighs of the freelancers deepened. There are also self-confident voices saying that it is better to close the business entirely and lose both the end of the year and the beginning of the year.
Earlier on day 1, in Daegu, a gym director in his 50s, who has been complaining about the financial difficulties caused by the crown crisis, was found dead. It is known that Mr. A, the dead gym director, left a memo that read: “I am sorry for my family.”
Choi, 38, who runs a wine bar in Hongdae, said: “Since all Christmas and year-end business meetings have been blocked, the rent has plummeted, so the rent burden is growing. “. “The self-employed with economic margins can support more loans. The self-employed, who had supported it, have no choice but to worry about closing the business.”
Some self-employed in the banned business sector said they would hold out jumping into the delivery industry. Kim Mo (33), who runs a coin-operated karaoke at Gimpo, said, “Only 4 million won for the rent and 1.3 million won for the administration fee. The cost of going to two stores is 7 million won. won per month. Even if the rent is reduced from the deposit, the administration fee is overdue, so Situation, “he said,” a child was also born late last year, and is traveling from Gimpo to Gangnam for delivery. “.
