Incheon Yeonsu-gu Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Yeonsu-gu, Incheon has issued an emergency ban on gatherings at door-to-door sales business sites within the district.

According to the district on the 6th, until the 18th of this month, product explanation sessions that can gather many participants related to door-to-door sales of medical devices and health supplements are prohibited.

This measure follows the recent mass outbreak of confirmed COVID-19 cases at the health product door-to-door sales company 'Richway' located in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

In Incheon as well, related to Richway, a 72-year-old female resident A from Namdong-gu and two family members were confirmed positive the day before, raising concerns that door-to-door sales business sites could become new clusters of infection following the Itaewon clubs in Seoul and the Coupang Bucheon logistics center.

A Yeonsu-gu official stated, "Business owners and facility users who do not comply with the gathering ban will be reported according to relevant laws, and treatment and quarantine costs will be claimed."
