Entertainment business owners gathered in front of the city hall “discriminated for 7 months”
“Government action,’tinkering’ policy wrapped with’tweezers'”
Whenever new quarantine guidelines come out, the controversy over equity by industry repeats
[앵커]
Another two-week extension plan for 2.5 steps, which was carried out over a period of two weeks, was once again divided by industry.
The owners of cafes, indoor sports facilities, and singing practice were displeased, but the owners of entertainment establishments asked if the government would release the regulations in the order of loud voices, and urged for equitable measures.

Entertainment business owners gathered in front of Incheon City Hall.
I heard a picket calling for survival.
When the order to ban gatherings for entertainment facilities was extended once again, more than 70 business officials poured into the streets.
They said they had been discriminated against for 7 months for being’entertainment’,
They raised their voices that the government’s quarantine measures were nothing more than a’tinkering’ policy wrapped with’tweezers’.

The controversy over equity by industry repeated like a wheel whenever a new quarantine guide was released.
In August of last year, when PC room owners, which were designated as high-risk facilities and closed their doors, violently protested, the door was opened a month later.

Regulations were eased after school officials who were banned from gatherings filed a class lawsuit.
Recently, the indoor sports facility industry and cafe owners held protests in front of the National Assembly every day.
Eventually, the guidelines were changed to allow sales, although limited.
In the industry-specific guidelines that are revised without clear standards, criticism has arisen as a tinkering-type quarantine type of’give one more cake for a crying child.

There is a growing voice saying that sufficient persuasion comes first with principles that everyone can understand rather than being flexible according to the situation.
