On the 15th, a notice was posted at a restaurant in Dong-gu, Busan, informing them of the imposition of fines following the order to comply with quarantine regulations, such as the obligation to wear a mask. Reporter Kang Sun-bae ksun @
“I’m in a situation where I have to monitor my clients’ attention during a recession, but it is difficult to force them to wear a mask.”
Since the 13th, a system has been implemented that imposes a penalty of 100,000 won for not wearing masks. If the customer does not wear a mask, the operator of a multipurpose company must pay a hefty fine of 1.5 million won for the first offense and 3 million won for the second offense. Anyone who does not wear a mask pays a fine of 100,000 won or less, regardless of the number of violations. As a result, citizens are passive in wearing masks, and only business owners who have a hard time doing this or that are upset.
There are no masks on streets like Gunam-ro
There are many unused interiors, such as PC rooms
“What if you try to crack down?”, Business owners started
“I have to use the bathroom locker room”
Voices of complaints about excessive quarantine measures
Haeundae Beach in Busan at 1:00 PM on the 15th. The streets of Gunam-ro that stretch to the white sand beach are packed with tourists, most of them wearing masks. On the street it is difficult to find a ‘fang’ that exposes the nose and mouth and wears a mask only on the chin.
However, unlike outside, indoor conditions, such as restaurants, cafes, and PC rooms, are different. Entering a two-story café near Haeundae, most are wearing tuxedos or removing their masks entirely. There are also groups of customers sitting together and chatting with the coffee tables that were left open to keep their distance and strengthen quarantine regulations. The only people who wear masks correctly inside the cafe are the cafe employees. There was an ad saying “Please wear a mask correctly” but no customers responded. The owner of the cafe said: “It is only the moment if we emphasize through the broadcast and ask each table to wear a mask.”
The owners of restaurants and cafes with computers are also in trouble. Park Mo (46), who runs a computer room near Gunam-ro, Haeundae-gu, said: “I recommend that you monitor your body temperature and wear a mask several times when you come, but it does not work well.” “How will the entrepreneur speak harshly to the customer?”
There have been few reports of non-use of masks, perhaps due to the atmosphere in which it is difficult for business owners to easily ask customers to wear masks. According to the City of Busan, the number of fines for not wearing a mask for two days from the first day of mandatory use of the mask is zero.
The gaze of the citizens was more effective than that of the owners. At 11 a.m. on the 15th, in a cafe in Geumjeong-gu, Busan, a customer was not wearing a mask correctly, such as constantly wearing a mask on his chin. However, the surrounding customers said: “I have to pay the fine from now on. Put on a mask. ”He pinned her, then pinned the mask over his nose.
There are many citizens who are sympathetic to the mandatory wearing of masks, but some say that quarantine authorities are taking too much action. This is because it is mandatory to wear a mask in the bathroom and in the changing rooms of the pool. Kim Mo (30), who visits the bathhouse every weekend, said: “If you go out after bathing, do you want to wear a naked mask before washing your body with a towel?” It seems to have distant content. “
