[와이파일] “No way…” The reason why the Chuncheon billiard hall on the weekend was full

Social distancing is strengthening due to the spread of Corona 19, but there are places where people flock. It is a billiard room and screen golf practice range in the Yeongseo area of ​​Gangwon, such as Chuncheon, which is adjacent to the metropolitan area.

An acquaintance who recently gave fun to golf had a grievous complaint last weekend.
It is not easy to make a reservation because there are so many customers that there are no vacant seats at each screen golf driving range. I showed a text message sent to the members at the screen golf driving range. It was said that the 2.5 stage of social distancing between Seoul and Gyeonggi-do will be extended until the 17th, and reservations will be rushing. When all the indoor sports facilities in the metropolitan area are closed, they will go on an expedition to nearby Chuncheon.

“No matter how much screen golf wants to play, is it really true that it will come to Gangwon-do?”

▶ Expedition customers aiming for a gap in distance… The same goes for the billiard room

It wasn’t just the screen golf driving range.
The same was true of the billiard room. I went directly to a billiard room in Chuncheon. There were no vacant seats in more than 10 pool tables. There were also a number of people waiting for their turn to come. I checked the guestbook in front of the door. Most of the residents of the metropolitan area were Seoul, Namyangju, Gyeonggi, and Gapyeong.

In the metropolitan area where step 2.5 of social distancing is being applied, the operation of indoor sports facilities such as screen golf practice range, billiard room, and bowling alley has been completely suspended from the 8th of last month. On the other hand, in Gangwon-do, the second step of distance is being applied. Indoor sports facilities can be operated until 9pm. People flock to the billiards and screen golf courses in the nearby Yeongseo area of ​​Gangwon, such as Chuncheon and Wonju, which are in contact with the metropolitan area. It was a balloon effect due to social distancing.

Distance to those who played away billiards and away screen golf step 2.5 was just a step away. The corona crisis, which has continued for more than a year, has decreased, and people have taken advantage of the gap in quarantine guidelines. There was no way to restrain those who were digging. I just looked at the administrative supervisors and the local governments cracking down on them.

▶ Traces of reduced alertness everywhere

Signs of reduced awareness are found everywhere.
The same goes for the area where the distance level 2 is applied. Taverns, which are banned after 9 p.m., opened at 5 a.m. when the business hours were released. Long lines lined up in front of the tavern. The door was opened outside of the time when the government banned business, and people flocked to respond to it.

A pub near a university in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do has emerged as a’hot place’ that is commonly referred to these days. The so-called’Hunting Pocha’ bar was so successful that there were no vacant seats. The guests were mostly young people born in 2002 and in their early twenties, who just turned 20 years old. It is open until 9pm according to the Step 2 guidelines. In addition to checking for heat, observe wearing a mask. There seems to be nothing wrong with it, but the local residents couldn’t hide their anxiety.

At 9 p.m., the open time, dozens of guests pour out in front of the bar.
Young people who have lost their place to go because they have no business anymore, they wander in front of the bar. Dozens of people don’t even properly mask and don’t easily leave. Some residents have filed a complaint with the police asking for dissolution, but there is nothing that can be done even when a patrol car arrives.

▶’Social distance’ that loses strength… Return to everyday life

A long and long corona prevention tunnel with no promise of when it will end.
The government’s social distancing is becoming increasingly weak. Since the easy-going behavior of ‘I’m just one’ can lead to the spread of the infection, the government and local government safety notices are colorless.

Visitors in the metropolitan area aiming for regional differences in distance and gaps, and pubs and guests that open anomalous business at 5 a.m. aiming at the gap of quarantine, and are still private meetings saying that it is okay until 9 p.m.

There is a deep concern that the long and long corona prevention and dark tunnels will gradually become further away.
