◇ Prohibition of private meetings with more than 5 people Metropolitan area → nationwide … Excluding family members living in the same house
The quarantine authorities expanded the area that prohibited private gatherings of five or more people from the metropolitan area to the entire country through quarantine measures implemented as of this day, while ski centers and academies were reopened. The level of quarantine has been reduced in areas that require the use of outdoor facilities, attention and study of students, while meals and meetings with a high risk of infection by the new coronavirus (Corona 19) are more limited .
According to the Disaster Countermeasures and Security Headquarters on the 4th, measures were implemented to extend social distancing in the Seoul metropolitan area at 12pm on the 3rd, the 2nd stage for non-metropolitan areas, and the special quarantine national year-end and New Years for two weeks from this day to the 17th were implemented. .
This quarantine measure focused on regulating private meetings. The recent Corona 19 epidemic is interpreted as a measure that takes into account the fact that there are many unspecified cases of infection by latent infected persons in the local community, as well as facilities vulnerable to infection such as nursing hospitals and medical institutions.
Private gatherings where no more than 5 people can meet are alumni associations, clubs, outings, workplace dinners (including lunch and dinner with employees in a restaurant), step-by-step meetings, housewarming , New Years Party, New Years Eve Party, First Birthday Party, Sixtieth Birthday, Regular Online Coffee Meetings And so on.
In the range of 5 people who banned meetings, workers in multipurpose facilities were excluded. Even in private gatherings, gatherings of five or more people were allowed in cases where family members living in the same house get together, in cases where care is needed for children, the elderly, the disabled, etc. , and in cases where families come together in preparation for death.
Also excluded from the ban was part of the family that lives in a different area to work and study locally, and then live together during the weekends and holidays (weekend couples, boarding school life, etc.). With this measure, when dining with family or acquaintances, up to four people can only make reservations and enter a restaurant together.
Meetings and events such as weddings, funerals, briefings, and public hearings can bring together up to 49 people in the metro area, which is in step 2.5, and 99 people in the non-metro area, which is the area of the second stage. The meetings and events that apply this quarantine rule are weddings and funerals, briefings, public hearings, academic conferences, memorial ceremonies, retreats, assemblies, festivals and festivals, large-scale concerts, autograph sessions, conferences, trainings, contests, workshops and exams.

◇ Impressive ski resorts and private schools … Extension or relaxation of quarantine measures depending on the extension of the two weeks into the future
Since the “Special New Year’s Prevention” was also extended for two weeks, reservations for hotels, resorts and guest houses across the country were limited to less than two-thirds of the number of rooms. This is a somewhat relaxed quarantine standard, limiting the number of reservations to 50% of the number of rooms.
All events and parties in the accommodation were also prohibited. Religious installations must be conducted in a remote manner for regular worship, Mass, and court meetings. Gatherings and meals hosted by religious facilities are not allowed. Department stores and hypermarkets cannot hold events in which users entering and leaving the facilities can check for symptoms of fever and carry out tastings, tastings or samples.
However, the winter sports facilities and academies, including the ski resorts, reopened as a limitation of the number of users. It is analyzed that the risk of contagion with corona 19 is low in that the ski resorts are outdoors, and the institute has a somewhat relaxed regulation to guarantee the right to learn and take care of students.
However, the ski resort may operate equipment rental rooms and changing rooms, but additional facilities such as restaurants, cafes and karaoke rooms cannot be opened on the premises. Measures were taken so that food could not be eaten at the facility. It is also prohibited to operate shuttle buses to attract users from other areas of the ski resort. After the assembly ban was lifted, schools and classrooms were forced to accept unannounced inspections. Also, if you violate the quarantine rules, a gathering ban will be imposed and you must post a statement on the door that you agree to the measures.
Whether this quarantine measure will be extended after two weeks or somewhat relaxed depends on the spread of Corona 19. First, the quarantine authorities are assessing that the urgent fire has been extinguished. The infectious reproduction index (R-value), which soared to 1.5 at the end of November last year, has decreased to 1 in the last week. This means that a confirmed person transmits Corona 19 to another. It is at the level that daily confirmed cases remain, but at least it can be seen as a sign that the spread has stopped.
The number of subsequent group infections in nursing hospitals and churches also reached 71 cases from December 13 to 19, three weeks ago. Since then, from December 20 to 26, 53 cases and from December 27 to January 2, the number decreased to 21 cases. Son Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division of the Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, stressed that “the situation is important for the next two weeks to lead to a decline in Corona 19 in January” .
