Amid a strong reproliferation of Corona 19 in Europe, Ireland imposed a strong blockade for the first time between the countries of the European Union. For the next six weeks, residents will only be able to travel within 3 miles of home, while restaurants and pubs will only be open for take out. Reporter Park Hong-gu about the report. In Ireland, the reproliferation of Corona 19 began in earnest in the middle of this month. The number of new confirmed cases exceeded 1,000 for the first time in the last 10 days and 6 months, and the spread is so severe that the average of 1,062 new cases per day during the last week. The Irish government, seeing that extraordinary action is needed, has announced a plan for a five-stage lockdown, the highest level. Consequently, starting at midnight on the 21st, residents can only move within 5 km of their residence and a fine will be imposed for infringement. Only required workers can work. Additionally, non-essential retail businesses are suspended and bars and restaurants are only available for take-out service. The Irish government says it aims to ease the lockdown by December 1 and that further action could be taken if the situation does not improve by then. Across the sea, the British Home Rule Government of Wales has also announced a two-week circulation limit and a temporary lockdown to close restaurants and pubs from the 23rd. Other European countries, such as Belgium, the Netherlands and France, where the number of new confirmed cases has risen rapidly, are also working hard to prevent a reappearance of Corona 19 by banning the bar business or implementing night curfew measures. We have not yet reached the limit of movement, but if the current trend continues, the possibility of extreme containment measures like last April cannot be ruled out. This is YTN Park Hong-gu.
