When social distancing is upgraded to three stages, it is implemented in a nationwide lump sum unlike the previous stage. A serious economic shock is a concern, so a careful decision is needed YTN conducted a thorough investigation of the views of the 16 local governments. Reporter Lee Jong-gu reports. Social distancing can be customized by region up to step 2.5. Each municipality can raise or lower the level according to local circumstances. But step 3 is different. This applies to all regions of the country, regardless of whether there are many or few new cases. Since the momentum from the 3rd pandemic remained fierce, the government is considering a three-step upgrade. So, YTN asked 16 local governments whether or not to raise the third level and why. Seven local governments, including Gwangju and Jeonnam, Ulsan and Gyeongnam, and Gangwon and Jeju, opposed. Most of these areas are less severe than the metropolitan area. He explained that the reason for the opposition is that the update of level 3 at the national level must be decided carefully, since it is concerned about a major impact, such as serious damage to the self-employed. Five local governments, including Busan, Incheon and Gyeonggi, were in favor of the third stage upgrade. He responded that it is necessary to actively participate in local governments to avoid the current spread, and that the earlier the update period, the better. 15 of the 16 local governments responded to YTN’s total survey. Seoul was the only one who did not respond. Three of the responding local governments requested confidentiality, and Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Chungbuk have taken a principled position to comply with the government’s decision. As such, it is contrary to the fact that public opinion on whether or not to raise level 3 is a sensitive issue for local governments. Quarantine authorities said that the third step is the last step and is seeking opinions from local governments because it causes widespread damage. This is YTN Lee Jong-gu. ※ ‘Your report becomes news’ YTN awaits your valuable report.
