Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, sports and cultural facilities in Seoul have been temporary closed. As the crisis level has risen to “red” (Level 4), sports and cultural facilities will be tentatively closed until further notice to prevent the spread of the virus. Therefore, 15 metropolitan sports facilities, such as Jamsil Gymnasium and Gocheok Sky Dome, will be closed starting Feb. 24. Moreover, 58 metropolitan cultural facilities, such as metropolitan libraries, museums, galleries and Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), will be closed starting Feb 25. However, 13 cultural facilities, such as the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts’ concert halls, will not be closed due to pre-existing reservations and leases, and will instead operate under separate safety measures.
