The government appears to present a proposal to improve distance regulations on the 16th.
Rather than uniformly prohibiting meetings, consider the number of people per area.

As the number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea remained at around 500 for two days in a row, while the third pandemic had subsided, the voice of the “ relaxation of quarantine regulations ” is growing. As intensive social distancing measures continued for more than a month, self-employed stamina increased and people’s feelings of fatigue increased. Experts say it is time for the government to reach a reasonable compromise that minimizes the damage to the self-employed while maintaining the tension of quarantine.
Around 500 confirmed cases on day two … increasing likelihood of easing quarantine regulations
On the 12th, Sohn Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division, Accident Control Headquarters, said: “I will decide on a new distance adjustment plan around the 16th.” The current distancing measures and special quarantine measures will end on the 17th. The ‘Seoul Metropolitan Area Stage 2.5, Non-Metropolitan Area Stage 2’ has been in effect from the 8th of last month. On the 27th of last month, special quarantine measures were added in the metropolitan area, with the core of “ prohibiting groups of 5 or more people. ” The original follow-up was revealed two days before the end of the above action. There is a time required for implementation. But this time it was a day ago. That means there are many points of concern.
The government does not disagree on the direction of deregulating distance itself. At 0 o’clock on this day, the number of new confirmed corona19 cases was 537, and it was around 500 for two consecutive days after the previous day (451), which fell below 500 in 41 days. Specifically, the positive rate, which means the number of confirmed cases compared to the number of tests, is 0.86%, which has fallen below 1% in two months since November 10 of last year, before of the third pandemic. On the other hand, among the self-employed, such as the gym, there was a clamor of ‘I can’t take it anymore’.
What the government is struggling with is the “breadth” of deregulation. If you just posted it, you can repeat the mistake of last fall, which caused the third pandemic by relaxing the quarantine. Son said: “It takes some time because the views of related associations, ministries and local governments are being accepted and deep discussions are taking place.”
Experts “I need to find the ‘myo-soo’ that reflects the voice of the field as much as possible.”
First, it is highly likely that indoor sports facilities in the metropolitan area, such as gyms where group bans were imposed, as well as karaoke rooms and academies, can operate sequentially. Son said: “The group ban has been applied for the sixth week from last December to the end of this week, so we believe there will be difficulties in living.” said.
Special quarantine measures in the metropolitan area are also likely to be lifted. This is because ‘the ban on meetings of 5 or more people’ was a more intense regulation than the 3rd stage of distancing (the ban on meetings of 10 or more). A Seoul city official said, “There is no decision yet.”
However, the distance between the metropolitan area is unlikely to be reduced from 2.5 to 2. Taeho Yoon, head of quarantine, said, “Since the rate of spread is gradually decreasing, there is a possibility that the amount of infected people to spread at any time if the (distance stage) is alleviated. We will adjust the distancing stage with this in mind. “
For this reason, experts noted that an alternative is needed that reflects the views of each affected industry as much as possible rather than the general distance adjustment. “It is not easy to lower the stage itself because there are still many patients and there is a risk of group infection,” said Kim Moran, a member of the Life Prevention Committee. “On the other hand, it is not easy to reduce the number of people per area. It is important to find the trick.”
Jeon Byung-yul, a professor at the Cha Medical University Graduate School of Medicine, who was the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said: “Since the situation is concerned about more side effects if it continues mandatory regulation would be a way to develop quarantine rules that encourage voluntary participation through industry discussions. I’m going to. ”
