Starting today (13th), if a person is found not wearing a mask in public transportation, hospitals, or religious facilities, a maximum fine of 100,000 won will be imposed.
The so-called'tusk', which does not completely cover the mouth or nose, is also subject to crackdown.
In particular, reporter Min Kyung-ho will tell you in detail on what occasions you must wear a mask.
<Reporter> The
places where you must wear a mask are public transportation, assembly and demonstration halls, medical institutions, nursing homes, religious facilities, and 23 types of priority and general management facilities.
Call centers, distribution centers, and indoor sports fields classified as high-risk workplaces are of course an area where masks must be worn.
The same goes for meetings and events with more than 500 people.
You must wear a health mask such as KF94 or KF80 or a splash mask, and cloth, cotton masks, and disposable masks are also acceptable.
However, wearing a mesh-type or valve-type mask that cannot completely block splashes, or a so-called'tusk' that does not completely cover the mouth or nose even with the permitted masks are subject to fines.
It is not permitted to cover your face with a scarf or clothing.
It is not possible to pay a penalty as soon as it is detected that the mask is not worn.
Local government officials instruct them to wear masks properly, and if they do not do so, they will be fined up to 100,000 won.
Facility managers who do not properly inform the duty of wearing a mask, etc., are subject to a fine of 3 million won or less.
However, those under the age of 14 who have difficulty breathing when wearing a mask due to an underlying disease are not subject to fines.
In addition, in the case of eating or drinking, or appearing in a public bath or swimming pool, etc., it is acceptable to take off your mask.
