The social distancing guidelines are being renewed a month after they have been relaxed to Phase 1. The content of restricting the number of people in multipurpose facilities is the main focus, but some point out that this measure is not enough to prevent spread, so it should be quickly reinforced to step 2 or higher. Reporter Kim Ji-hwan reports. On August 16, the second distance step between Seoul and the Gyeonggi area was applied. The measure was taken as that the average number of confirmed cases per day exceeded 40, and the infection reproduction index, which indicates how many people infected with Corona 19, also exceeded 1.3. The key was to ban gatherings with 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors, and to ban the operation of 12 high-risk facilities, such as clubs and large academies. However, with the spread of the group infection in the Sarangjeil church and the Liberation Day assembly, the number of infections increased rapidly across the country. When the average number of confirmed cases per day exceeded 300, the government finally extended the second phase of distancing by one week to the entire country.
Since then, as the trend of spreading through the metropolitan area continued, the government increased the distance between the metropolitan area to 2.5 steps again in a week.
Not eating at restaurants after 9pm for two weeks, franchised cafes were a stronger measure than just packaging and delivery.
It was at the end of September, about a month, when the number of new cases dropped to double digits.
Only after going through Chuseok’s special quarantine period did it show a stable double-digit flow, and the government lowered social distancing to the first stage.

The main content is to limit the number of people using the multipurpose facilities.
However, this measure is noted to be weak with more than 300 new cases confirmed a day before the end of the year and New Years holidays.
You need to raise it to level 2 or higher to catch the spread quickly.

The government plans to follow the trend for the next two weeks and decide whether to increase the distance further.
