South Korea to Impose $85 Mask Fine Beginning on November 13th
I wonder how stringently this law is going to be enforced? My suspicion is that it will be selectively enforced just like traffic laws to make a point from time to time:
South Korea will impose a fine on people who fail to wear face masks in public spaces and on transportation starting Nov. 13 to better combat the coronavirus pandemic, officials said Sunday.
The general public will be required to wear masks on public transportation and at demonstrations as well as medical and care facilities, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
If people do not wear masks in such spaces, they will face a fine of up to 100,000 won ($85.50), the KDCA said.
However, the obligation will be exempted for people aged under 14 and those who are unable to wear masks due to medical conditions, officials said.
The fine could also be applied to people who wear masks under their noses in such spaces, the KDCA said.
The nation will launch a 30-day grace period for mandatory masks in such spaces starting Oct. 13.
A scarf or certain types of masks that cannot protect others from the virus will not be allowed under the obligation, the KDCA said.

I bet they’ll be fining more foreigners just because they can. Another sign of life under communism for the ROK.
It’s a virus. There are no masks that can protect anyone. And face shields don’t work either. MOP gear might; but that would kill the sick and elderly faster than the Sino Sinus Syphilis–and aside from being expensive, it is only good for a limited duration.
This is all Potemkin villages and Kabuki theater.
Yeah. Old and sick people need to be sheltered; but this new law is just cranking the temperature up a degree on the frogs being boiled…
(Look it up if you don’t get it.)
Wash your hands, don’t spit, sneeze, cough, or spew on your neighbor, and be nice to the ‘ettes.
Sure, we all need to follow the law; but make your own determination about how far. Remember this when you vote.
“Wash your hands, don’t spit, sneeze, cough, or spew on your neighbor, and be nice to the ‘ettes.”
– yea but that won’t make you stop getting COVID when you’re just naturally nasty, dirty, sloppy, lawless, and stupid. Not a surprise that your country has 200K dead and still counting when the year isn’t over yet.
Yeah, we had too many places run bu Democrats. Who included multiole people who died from gunshot wounds in their inflated counts.
But I don’t expect the CCP to let you even google that fact.
Or the Chinese-bought-and-paid-for WHO and (US) CDC changing their advice literally three times a month.
Nor do I expect you to mention that the Chinese stopped reporting deaths back in April. Not that people stopped dying: the deaths were just not reported. Those 2 million cell phone plans just coincidentally ended the same week, right?
Your fear pr0n might work better on a university campus with hundreds of gullible little boys and girls just out of yheir parents’ cocoon. Why not try over there?
BTW, it’s a virus. You cannot stop the spread. Everyone will eventually be exposed. And guess what. 99.98 percent will get over it.
I’d quit smoking and get my diabetes under control if I were you.
Looks like your commander in chief needs a ventilator. He was seen gasping for breath in front of the reporters today. I guess this is what you call karma.
New Korean man; replacement system in the .50 army at work.. Will he get promoted from posting on ROK Drop or sent to the re-education camp like his predecessor? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, a good video on what is truely behind the plandemic.
