On the 31st, the government building in Seoul is answering online questions from reporters about the Corona 19 critical script results briefing. Yunhap news
On the 31st, the government announced a plan to adjust social distancing for a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which will apply for two weeks from the 1st until the Lunar New Year holidays. The current quarantine rule for distance distancing, the prohibition of private meetings of more than 5 people, would be maintained. However, the ‘restriction on (normal) business after 9pm’, which applies to restaurants and karaoke rooms, will be kept once, but will be discussed again in consideration of the corona 19 outbreak for next week. .
In this government announcement, I am interested in whether I can visit my parents’ house on New Year’s Day. The announcement from the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters was answered with questions and answers.
- Is the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people maintained even during the Lunar New Year holidays?
- “Yes. It is applied in common throughout the country from February 1 to 14. However, the exception is when families meet with the same living space. In addition, when it is necessary for the care of children, the elderly and the disabled, also relatives are allowed to meet before the end of life. This means that even immediate family members should not have different addresses. The same is true for the shift, three times and rituals (49 offerings, including masking). ”
- If the sons and daughters are separated and only they visit their parents.
- “If there are less than 5 people, it does not violate the rules. However, even during the Lunar New Year holiday period, the “five person ban” was applied without exception, which means that we “restrict” going home and traveling for the safety of our families and neighbors. Please share your greetings not face to face. “
- It would not be easy to take strong action.
- “It is quite difficult for the government to manage these parts, even in private private spaces (in the house). Share the purpose of this executive order. For multi-purpose facilities such as restaurants, reservations for more than 5 people are not allowed. You must not enter with you. If detected, a penalty of 100,000 won will be imposed on all violators. In the case of a confirmed case, compensation rights such as medical expenses can be requested. ”

- Can freeway rest areas be used during consecutive holidays?
- “In the freeway rest area, you can’t eat food indoors like food courts, like in Chuseok. Only packaging is allowed. Stay in the shortest time possible. Also, in accordance with the recommendation to refrain from moving between regions, the highway toll will not become free as it was during Chuseok. The toll revenue earned through this will be used for crown 19 quarantine activities. Only window seats can be reserved for return trains. ”
- Weddings and funerals should only have up to 4 people.
- “Both wedding and funeral ceremonies are excluded from the application of the ‘Prohibition of private gatherings of 5 people’. According to the standards for meetings and events at each distance stage, up to 49 people in the metropolitan area (step 2.5) and 99 people in the non-metropolitan area (step 2) ”.
- What is the current quarantine situation like?
- “Currently, since the number of patients is changing in an increasing trend, they do not meet the criteria to reduce the distance. In particular, the infection reproduction index (RO) is also increasing to 0.95. The stabilization of the third epidemic once fell to 0.79. (The infectious reproductive index indicates how many people have been infected by a confirmed corona19. If 0.95 means that it has infected 0.95), the average number of new patients per week has risen to 400, unlike the last Chuseok. The risk of spreading the infection is high due to the Lunar New Year holidays. “
- He said he would adjust some quarantine rules after a week.
- “With the prolonged distance, the economic difficulties of the small business and the self-employed increase. The fact that people’s fatigue level is also increasing was the biggest concern (when setting the scenario). A week later, he will analyze the trend and return to pass judgment on the step of distancing, ban on meetings and restrictions on the operation. The government aims to stabilize the situation as much as possible before the Lunar New Year holidays. This is because it is important to carry out the Corona 19 vaccination in a stable way. Once again, there will be many difficulties, but I ask for active cooperation in quarantine regulations and government quarantine measures. “
