Adult entertainment venues are back open for business, but not everyone is
following the rules.

Such businesses were allowed to conditionally reopen last week, with staff
required to be at least partially vaccinated and patrons required to register
their contact information, and wear masks when not eating or drinking.

To make sure the rules were being adhered to, Taipei police checked a number
of bars, dance halls, and tea houses last night, and caught 21 people
violating the regulations.

Some businesses were not recording patron contact information, checking their
temperatures, or providing disinfectants, or were employing unvaccinated
workers.

At least one patron was found to be violating self-health management
protocols by visiting a bar.

All these violations will be punished, and Taipei police say they will
continue random inspections.

Kaohsiung has carried out a similar inspection, and also found several
violators.
