Starting today, if a person is found not wearing a mask in public transportation, hospitals, or religious facilities, a fine of up to 100,000 won will be imposed.
The so-called'tusk', which does not cover the mouth or nose completely, is also subject to crackdown.
In particular, reporter Min Kyung-ho summarized what cases should be used.
<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 stadiums classified as high-risk workplaces are, of course, areas where masks are required.
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.

It is not permitted to cover your face with a scarf or clothing.

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.
