According to a survey in Seoul, it was found that this facility complied with quarantine rules such as checking employees’ fever and providing hand sanitizers in the facility. However, it was found that the users danced and drank while moving the tables on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
“The confirmed person stayed for a long time, and as a result of checking closed circuit TV (CCTV), it was investigated that some users did not wear masks,” said Park Yoo-mi, director of the city’s Citizen Health Bureau. The city of Seoul is conducting inspections on 813 people related to facilities and users. The number of protons identified in this process was 42, except for the first confirmed, 124 negative. The rest are under examination, so it was investigated that there is a possibility of further confirmed cases.

Director Park announced his intention to claim compensation for the restaurant where the group infection occurred. Director Park said, “When the manager himself converts to a general restaurant, he confirmed that in the confirmation letter,’If there is a confirmed case of Corona 19, I will accept the claim for reimbursement’. He added, “Because of not properly guiding the wearing of masks in the workplace, the first warning and a fine of 1.5 million won will be imposed for violating the infectious disease prevention method.”
In addition, as of January 28, even though it is a general restaurant, it will be dismissed for two months of business suspension until April 4 due to violation of the Food Sanitation Act (Article 44, Paragraph 1 Business Owners Compliance) Revealed. Indemnity claims, fines for negligence, and severe penalties up to two months of business suspension.
This is not the only punishment. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to impose a fine for users who violate the ban on grouping of five or more people or do not wear masks. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said, “In an epidemiological investigation, 4 out of 10 people using the group were confirmed to be infected.” Regarding the non-wearing of the mask, he explained that “there is a plan to impose the same fines for users who do not wear a mask other than food.”
Another emergency inspection of hunting guns
Along with this, the Seoul Metropolitan Government asked people who used the’Pocha Endpanwang Kondae Branch’ to undergo an inspection. Subjects to be tested are users from January 22 to 30. As a result of an epidemiological investigation in Seoul, it was explained that confirmed cases continued to occur among those who used the area from 24 to 29 during the period.
In connection with this transformational business, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to conduct an emergency inspection on a total of 44 places, including 27 hunting pots and 17 emotional bars, which were converted to regular restaurants.
