[사회]Freelance Business Owner “Let Me Eat and Live” Ahead of Distancing Adjustment Plan Announcement

[앵커]

The day after tomorrow (the 16th), when the government announced the plan to adjust the distance, we are interested in whether the government will ease the ban on business groups such as gyms and karaoke bars.

The self-employed repeatedly called for effective countermeasures, saying it was difficult to hold out any longer.

Current measures of social distancing Phase 2.5 of the metropolitan area and the second phase of the non-metropolitan area are scheduled until Sunday.

The government plans to ease part of the ban on multipurpose facilities, such as gyms and karaoke rooms, before the announcement of the distance adjustment plan.

This is because complaints from freelancers are exploding everywhere, regardless of industry, as distancing measures drag on and the debate about fairness has increased.

Some business owners even enforced class action lawsuits against the government, including claims for damages.

In this situation, the self-employed have announced specific industry requirements before the government announcement.

First, they insisted that the ban on meetings and trade restrictions be lifted and allowed to operate until midnight.

Now, it is natural to comply with quarantine regulations, and we are confident that we can prevent the occurrence of confirmed cases while doing business.

Furthermore, in line with the ‘Con Corona’ era, we have repeatedly emphasized that we must listen to the voices of the field and argue with them, rather than a one-sided notification from quarantine authorities.

Despite these demands, there are some owners who gave Bae-Jin Bae, saying that if the quarantine authorities keep the ban on meetings, they will do business.

[장석창 / 대한볼링경영자협회 회장 : 우리의 요구사항이 관철되지 않는다면 2021년 1월 18일부터 대한볼링경영자협회 소속 모든 볼링장은 정부의 사회적 거리 두기 방역 지침에 불구하고 정상적으로 영업할 것을….]

At the same time, the government vomited with resentment calling for effective measures for small business owners in the restricted collective industry.

[김성우 / 대한피트니스경영자협회 회장 : 대출을 꽉 채웠습니다. 대출이 집합금지로 인해서 7천만 원이 넘어가면 추가 대출이 전혀 안 됩니다. 추가 대출이 전혀 안 되는데 천만 원이나 2천만 원에 대한 정책이 나오면 뭐합니까.]

Situation in which the infection can spread again after a rapid decline.

However, as complaints from the self-employed increase, quarantine authorities only deepen.
