Despite recent criticism, Sokcho City, Gangwon-do, which has reduced its distance to 1.5 steps, has weakened. This is because the central government announced on the 22nd, ‘Special measures to strengthen the special quarantine’, including the prohibition of gatherings of five or more people throughout the country, and the closure of places to dawn. The city of Sokcho said it will follow the policy of the central government, and that if a confirmed case is repeated, the stage of social distancing would also be raised to the second stage. Sokcho City has lowered its social distancing from 0 o’clock on the 21st to 1.5 steps from the 2nd stage after the 19 meeting. The city said the decision was made because there were no more confirmed cases for a week after the second. phase of distancing, which took place on the 14th, and the self-employed and small businessmen are threatened with their right to life. When Sokcho’s decision was known, critical voices emerged as to whether it was a hasty decision with the goal of a ‘special dawn’. In particular, concerns have been expressed that the spread of Corona 19 would grow out of control if tourists from the metropolitan area at dawn flock to Sokcho before the New Year holidays. In fact, on the 20th, a petition was uploaded from the Blue House titled ‘Please remove the 1.5-step distance from Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do’. The city of Sokcho was in a situation where the government proposed reinforced quarantine measures on the 22nd. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun announced that “this quarantine reinforcement measure will be applied systematically in all parts of the country and local governments cannot relax the rules, thus preventing the spread of spreading from one region to another. Sokcho’s measures to reduce his distance have become practically useless. Sokcho City decided to hold a joint meeting with the department to discuss plans to close the Dawn site. Kwon Geum-seon said: “In accordance with government policy, we plan to install a bar on the main beaches to avoid crowds of tourists at dawn, and the staff will come out and guide them.” He also said that he would increase the low distance as soon as there is a confirmed person. A city official said: “If even one confirmed person occurs, the social distancing stage will immediately revert to the second stage.” By Park Soo-hyuk, Reporter [email protected]
