Recently, the government has come up with urgent measures in connection with the continuation of the corona 19 chain infection that has been linked to a public bathhouse.

From tomorrow (22nd), a full corona19 test will be conducted for all bathing workers nationwide, and the number of bathers and hours of use will also be limited.

This is a sauna in Jinju, Gyeongnam, used by people infected with Corona 19.

Since then, about 100 places such as saunas and baths in the Jinju City area were ordered to be banned, but this was not enough.

As the so-called coronavirus chain infection from public baths has become a reality in various regions such as Geoje, emergency quarantine measures have emerged.

A full-scale inspection of COVID-19 will be conducted for people in the national bath industry such as Sejinsa, and the issuance of monthly subscriptions is prohibited.

In addition, bathhouse users and workers cannot communicate in the bathhouse as well as in the changing room, and it is recommended to use the bath within an hour.

The use of common items and containers in the bath is also prohibited. In particular, the number of people admitted is limited to one per 8㎡ of reported area.

In areas with a large number of confirmed cases, regular quarantine inspections are also conducted on a biweekly basis.

The government recently announced that it has imposed hundreds of administrative dispositions by jointly conducting quarantine on-site inspections of 3,400 bathhouses across the country with local governments.

At the same time, he emphasized that it will take strict measures in case of violations of the quarantine regulations by conducting additional inspections at about 100 locations this month.
