The ‘Special New Year’s Prevention Measures’ announced by the government on the 22nd to prevent the spread of Corona 19 will be implemented from 00:00 hours on the 24th until 12:00 hours on January 3 of next year. This special quarantine measure applies throughout the country regardless of regional distancing steps, and local governments cannot take self-mitigating measures. In restaurants across the country, gatherings of five or more are completely banned and ski resorts, snow sled runs and skating rinks will be closed. Sunrise spots like Jeongdongjin and Homigot, where tourists flock to the New Year, are also closed for a certain period of time. The main contents of the special quarantine measures announced by the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters are summarized in a question and answer format.
-The ban on meetings with more than 5 people is already in force in the metropolitan area. What is the difference between this measure and the administrative order in the metropolitan area?
“The government strongly recommended that private gatherings, dinners and parties of 5 or more people be canceled. It is not a prohibition, it is a recommendation. Therefore, there is no punishment for rape. On the other hand, in the metropolitan area where the local government issued an administrative order prohibiting the grouping of five or more people, in addition to the central government, violations could result in a fine of no more than 3 million won and a right to repair. In other words, if you meet more than 5 people, you are punished in the metropolitan area, but not in the non-metropolitan area ”.
-What is the limit of people in the restaurant?
“Nationwide, all restaurants should not accept reservations for more than 5 people and should not enter a group of more than 5 people. It is also not allowed for 8 people in a group to use 2 tables of 4 people each. However, those who reside in the same place are excluded for the registration of residents, such as family members. In the case of the company cafeteria, it is not subject to the ban of more than five people, but must be used in accordance with quarantine rules such as distance.
-What will be the penalty for violating the restaurant limit?
“A fine of 3 million won or less is imposed on restaurant operators and 100,000 won or less on users. Restaurants with a size of 50m2 or more must adhere to one of the following: a distance of 1 m between tables, a space between seats and tables, and divisions between tables to reduce density ”.
-Where are winter sports facilities closed?
“Skiing, sledding and skating are prohibited throughout the country. Specifically, 16 ski resorts will be suspended throughout the country, 35 ice rinks and 128 sites for snow sledding ”.
-How are accommodation facilities such as resorts, hotels, guest houses and rural dwellings operated?
“Reservations are limited to 50% of the rooms and no more than 50% of the rooms can be accommodated. In addition, it is strongly recommended that parties organized by people inside the accommodation be prohibited, and New Years events and parties organized by the accommodation are prohibited. For accommodations that have already made more than 50% of the reservations or where there have been reservations that exceed the number of rooms, they must inform users of the reservation cancellation procedure and refund policy, and adjust the reservation within 50% ”.
-Is it possible to access the main tourist sites?
“There are differences by location. Jeongdongjin and Ulsan Ganjeolgot in Gangneung, Gangwon-do will be closed from 24 to 3 next year. On the other hand, Homigot in Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do is closed for two days on December 31 and January 1 during sunrise and sunset. It is also considering closing Namsan Park in Seoul on December 31 and January 1 only. However, this is fluid. It is good to call each tourist destination in advance to visit it ”.
-And the national park?
“National parks are accessible in principle. Trails are not subject to closure. However, the sunrise and sunset locations in the national park will be closed for two days on December 31 and January 1. Specifically, in the case of Bukhansan National Park, entry to Baegundae, Samobawi and Kalbawi is not allowed during this period. The same goes for Seoraksan Daecheongbong and Jirisan Cheonwangbong. “
-What measures are taken in religious facilities?
“The 2.5 steps of social distancing applied to religious facilities will be expanded nationwide. The measures applied to the metropolitan area will be expanded nationwide. In other words, a non-face-to-face service is required for regular worship, Mass, court meetings, and ceremonies across the country, and gatherings and meals hosted by religious facilities are prohibited. The service, etc., should not be attended by more than 20 people, including the production and transmission of videos for participants and not in person ”
