Recently, there have been infections in many places such as temples, hospitals and welfare facilities in Gwangju, and some of the diagnosed patients' infection routes are not known. Since the first confirmed patient appeared in Gwangju on February 3, only 44 cases have been diagnosed until June. The number of new cases in a single day reached double digits for the first time. The authorities are very worried about the spread of infection in the region.
On the other hand, from July 1st, Korean citizens must present QR codes for registered identity information when entering or leaving high-risk places such as nightclubs, entertainment bars, and karaoke clubs that can easily spread infectious diseases. If an epidemic situation occurs in a high-risk location, the system can ensure that the epidemic prevention department can quickly collect the information needed to track close contacts and conduct epidemiological investigations.
At the same time, when the relevant high-risk facilities do not implement the electronic access registration system, the relevant person in charge can be fined up to 3 million won (approximately RMB 17,640), and can even be issued a "no assembly" order.
