In the metropolitan area, the 2.5 steps of social distancing continued for two weeks and the streets appeared neglected.
The government is expected to announce whether the 2.5 steps will be extended again at 4:30 pm, approximately two hours later.
There is a reporter on the streets of Sinchon, Seoul, to see how the citizens’ reaction will be. Reporter Kim Dae-gyeom!
Citizens and small business owners will get very tired from the reinforced distance, but tell us what the street environment is like.
[기자]The Sinchon street where I am standing now has more people than it did in the morning, but it is still busy.
The cafes and restaurants that were hit directly by step 2.5 of the remote action were open or closed with just a few tables.
As such, the consequences of the 2.5-step distancing measure can be felt on the streets. The government holds a meeting at 3 pm, chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, to finalize the operations plan for the 2.5-step metropolitan area.
The decision will be announced at 4:30 pm, in a periodic briefing on the script.
Our YTN reporter came forward and asked citizens if the 2.5 steps should be extended.
Opinions diverged as to whether it was due to the reinforced distance and whether to re-extend stage 2.5.
Let’s listen together to the opinions of citizens.

Today, the total number of new confirmed cases has not dropped from 100 to 121, but the local outbreak is 99, registering double digits in a month, and the government’s complaints are deepening.
As you have heard before, it is due to citizens and small entrepreneurs who are increasingly weary from the strengthened distance.
Consequently, the script is known to be revising a third plan that partially facilitates the 2.5 steps to alleviate some restrictions on the operation of medium-risk facilities such as restaurants and cafes.
In addition to the size of the confirmed cases, the government is in a position to gather opinions from local governments, experts and various fields, and determine the level of distancing by reviewing the social and economic impacts.
