Sook-young Lim, head of the situation general manager Bang Dae-bon, explained at a regular briefing on the day that “a lot of (collective infections) occurred in facilities where it was difficult to wear a mask continuously due to dense and close contact between people in a confined environment and eating and drinking.”
“Among the major facilities that occur in groups, indoor sports facilities, academies, and multi-level door-to-door sales facilities are those that have resumed operation in the metropolitan area from last Monday (18th). As such, it does not mean that the third outbreak has reached a certain level of stability, so I hope that the business owners and users of the facility to resume operation should strictly observe the quarantine rules.”
