Starting on the 12th, the ‘social distancing’ measures at the national level will be relaxed to the first stage. 57 days and 50 days have passed, respectively, since the second stage of distancing from the metropolitan area and the non-metropolitan area due to the spread of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
On the 11th, the last day of Chuseok’s two-week special quarantine period, the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (middle script) announced a plan to adjust social distancing. The biggest change is the reopening of 10 high-risk facilities. Singing practice rooms, buffets, and entertainment bars such as clubs will open. The large academies of more than 300 people in the metropolitan area, suspended since August 19, can also teach classes again.

Basic quarantine rules are mandatory for high-risk facilities in the metropolitan area, and restrictions on the number of people used for some entertainment facilities are also mandatory. The quarantine rules used in restaurants and cafes, such as masks and spacing, remain the same. Face-to-face worship is also allowed in churches, but in the metropolitan area, seats are limited to 30%. Consequently, the evaluation of step 1 of the reinforced distance positioning arises, the so-called ‘step 1.5’. With the ease of distancing, the principle of density of elementary, middle and high schools nationwide is also reduced to two-thirds. In non-metropolitan areas, it is expected to be able to attend school every day as it can be adjusted according to the situation in the region and the school. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a major conference on the day that “we focus on harmonizing the sustainability of people’s livelihoods with the effectiveness of quarantine” and “we will minimize the disruption to the operation of facilities and strengthen the precision quarantine according to the risk of each target. ” However, Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea’s Daeguro Hospital, said, “Considering the recent number of patients and the precedents where the number of confirmed cases has risen rapidly after the holidays, it is not in conditions to be reduced to the first stage Image reporter [email protected] Go to the reporter’s page>
