The number of new confirmed cases temporarily decreased yesterday (22), when the policy of increasing distance in the metropolitan area was established.
At 0 o’clock today, it was 271, 59 less than the day before.
It has been six days since the 17th that the number of new patients per day has been below 300.
However, it is not a reliable situation.
While the number of people is said to have dropped by almost 60, it is because the number of new confirmed cases has occurred since mid-August, when the second epidemic was still ongoing.
Also, yesterday, which was a holiday, the number of inspections itself was up to 10,000 less than on weekdays last week.
It means that the momentum of the third epidemic has not diminished, especially in the metropolitan area, which will be upgraded to the second stage starting tomorrow.
Yesterday, 206 new confirmed cases in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon.
It is about 81% of the 255 domestic occurrences.
That is why the Seoul Metropolitan Government has declared an ‘Emergency Suspension Period’ for the end of the year.
The urgency that the spread could get worse if we don’t accept a full response came into play.
However, from the SAT test, the end of the year to seasonal factors like winter, the situation in front of you is not easy.
If we can overcome the wave of the third trend that has already become a reality, our quarantine network and citizenship have been put to the test.
The freelancers who run restaurants and pubs are sad.
Restaurants and pubs that must close after 9pm seem to develop a new menu and deliver it.

At step 2 of the distance, the pub should close after 9pm. You must be worried.
[기자]Yes it is.
If you look at the wall to one side of the bar, the names and prices of various beers are written like this.
As you can see, this is also a pub that originally sells beer and snacks.
But looking over the cash register, the wooden chopsticks and packing containers are stacked like this.
Starting tomorrow, the second stage of social distancing is scheduled to be implemented, and the delivery of food has been restarted since the business will close at 9:00 p.m.
Let’s take the owner of the pub and hear directly how he made this decision.
[황준성 / 주점 사장 : (먼저 음식 배달 서비스를 시작하게 된 계기가 어떤 건지 말씀해 주시겠어요?) 저희가 맥줏집이다 보니까 9시 이후에 피크 타임이 계속 이어지는데 그때 영업을 못하게 돼서 급하게 준비를 해서 배달을 하게 되었습니다. (한창 손님들로 붐빌 시간에 영업을 못하게 되셔서 타격이 크실 것 같은데 이런 점은 어떠세요?) 어쩔 수 없다고 생각은 하거든요. 왜냐하면 전 세계적으로 지금 문제고 그렇기 때문에 어쩔 수는 없지만 개인적으로는 생계가 많이 힘들죠. (혹시 정부나 지자체에 바라는 점이 있다면 간단히 있다면 어떤 게 있을까요?) 지금처럼 잘 유지를 해 주시기를 부탁드리고 예산이 괜찮다면 자영업자들을 위해서 임대료라든가 세금 부분에서 배려가 있었으면 좋겠습니다.]As you can see, restaurants and taverns in areas like the metropolitan area are only open until 9pm, and then only packing and delivery are allowed.
The self-employed complaints are considerable, especially now is the time to be busy preparing for the end of the year meetings, like preparing food ingredients.
There are also calls to book year-end meetings, but this year there are many places where reservations are empty and reservations already made are canceled.
At the end of last August, during the so-called ‘second pandemic’, sales had already declined, followed by the ‘third pandemic’, and many of them were said to be useless by the end of the year.
Even during business, measures are required such as making the table space 1m apart, emptying the table one by one and installing a splash barrier.
In cafes, both franchise cafes and private cafes are prohibited from eating and drinking indoors and can only be packed and delivered.
Indoor sports facilities, such as the singing practice room, gym, billiards room, and screen golf course, must also be closed after 9 PM.
The burden for them is great, as it is a “high intensity” measure that directly restricts the economic activities of the self-employed and small business owners.
Furthermore, I am concerned that the government has professed to immediately ban any place that violates quarantine regulations.
The other freelancers we met with sighed that they were thinking of voluntarily leaving their business, while understanding that it was an unavoidable quarantine measure.
The number of customers has dropped dramatically, but it is more profitable to close the door because fixed expenses such as monthly rent and labor expenses, which are worth millions of won a month, remain the same.
As the government’s quarantine measures are well followed, there were also voices that some taxes should be lowered.
To prevent Corona 19, as well as to alleviate the suffering of the self-employed, this is the time when we all must comply with quarantine regulations.
