A lot of people follow the quarantine rules thoroughly, but there are places where they have collapsed. At a club in Busan, 70 people gathered and were caught by the police, while in Daegu, 19 illegal foreigners gathered together to hold a party.
Reporter Jo Yoon-ha reports.
This morning, a club in Busan. The red light flashes and the bottle is littered.
70 men and women who drank while playing music here were caught by the police.
Among these were men in their twenties who were subject to self-isolation.
When the reported and dispatched police searched the club, some guests sneaked through the back door.
As a result of the police investigation, the business gathered customers through social media to avoid crackdowns, and employees watched the web outside the business site.

The police are investigating Mr. A, a business owner in his twenties who operated the club while ignoring the quarantine rules, for violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act.

In Daegu, businesses that operated in violation of administrative orders were also caught in a joint crackdown.
On the 27th of last month, 19 foreigners gathered at a restaurant in Daegu and were caught having a party until 5 a.m. They all turned out to be foreigners who were staying illegally.
