Although it is the same indoor sports facility, it is argued that it is not fair to the standards, such as allowing some sales to Taekwondo and ballet academies.



Some gyms are open to business.

He said, "It may be difficult, but (the current distancing measures expire), please be patient for about 12 days and cooperate with the quarantine management."



Mr. Son said, "If effective results are shown during the two-week intensive quarantine management period, we will allow business rather than continue to apply the collective ban (after that), but receive opinions from the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and the field to prevent infection. I said.



Meanwhile, regarding the owner of a gym in Daegu, who was found dead in a gym in Daegu on the first day of the new year and made an extreme choice due to business restrictions, he said, "The gym was not subject to collective ban." Revealed.
