The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases in Korea has risen dramatically to 1,030, and the feelings of despair from the self-employed are increasing. [김호영 기자]With the acceleration of the third corona epidemic19, the government has opened the possibility of raising the gap in three stages and has begun to prepare comprehensive measures. Step 3, the latest government quarantine card, is a de facto “ daily shutdown ” measure in which more than 500,000 multi-use facilities across the country, such as wedding halls, cinemas, and PC rooms, they will be closed when updated. This is the reason why the government hesitates despite the clamor of the people who say: “Take action immediately.”
In a regular briefing on the 13th, Park Neung-hoo, Deputy Head of the Central Headquarters for Security and Disaster Countermeasures (Minister of Health and Welfare) said: “If the proliferation trend continues, it will be inevitable to increase three steps to avoid the collapse of the medical system, which is approaching its limit “. In preparation for the situation, we will begin a three-step update review by gathering opinions from local governments and related experts such as the metropolitan area. “Previously, Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong repeatedly emphasized the opinion that the three-step increase in distance is inevitable. Governor Lee said: “We are experiencing a serious crisis from the third pandemic, and we have suggested an early update of the central government to strengthen in three stages so as not to reach a total lockdown. “” Due to the characteristics of the metropolitan area, which is a unique housing area, along with Seoul and Incheon. It is also important to act, but if it is not acceptable, even Gyeonggi-do is considering ways to preventively strengthen distances, ”he said. This means that if the government does not immediately take action to elevate the third stage, Gyeonggi-do will begin to distance itself in three stages.

The third stage is based on a national pandemic and is the “last card” to take when faced with the risk of collapse of the medical system as the number of patients increases rapidly across the country. If more than 800 ~ 1000 confirmed cases of local outbreaks arise per day for a week, or if there is a “doubling”, which is double compared to the previous day, it can be updated, but this standard has not yet been reached. However, it is pointed out that it is actually a matter of time in the environment where the number of confirmed patients increases exponentially as at present. If the government preemptively decides to move to stage three, small business owners and the self-employed will be pushed over the edge. In stage 2.5, there are 130,000 installations that are discontinued, but in stage 3, the number of installations will increase to more than 500,000.
Meetings and events with more than 10 people are banned, and in the third stage, all non-essential multi-use facilities such as medical institutions are stopped. Five types of entertainment facilities will continue to be suspended, such as clubs, which were closed even in phase 2.5, and direct sales promotion rooms, such as door-to-door sales, karaoke rooms, indoor stand-up show rooms and sports facilities. indoor. In addition, wedding halls, cinemas, performance halls, PC rooms, game rooms, reading rooms, study cafes, amusement parks, beauty salons and department stores, which operated under conditions such as restrictions on the number people and business hours should also be closed. In the case of restaurants, only packing and delivery is allowed after 9:00 p.m., as at present, and measures will be added to limit the number of users to one for every 8㎡ (around 2.4 pyeong). Coffee is only available to go regardless of business hours.
The academy that was ordered to ban grouping as a special measure in step 2.5 will also remain suspended. In addition, the operation of all national and public facilities is also suspended, regardless of the internal or external division, and it is recommended to close or close the social welfare facilities, including nurseries, but the emergency care services are maintained.
In step 2.5, sporting events that require no spectators to be played are also completely stopped and school classes are transferred remotely. Institutions and corporations must work from home except for essential personnel. Step 3 is a national measure and it is impossible to adjust the level at the individual local government level. There are facilities that are excluded from the prohibition of collecting even in the third stage.
By type, △ Government, public institutions, industrial facilities such as water, electricity, energy, and essential industrial facilities such as businesses and factories △ Residential and lodging facilities such as Gosiwon, hotels and motels △ Restaurants such as general restaurants and break restaurants △ Mart and shops convenience · Stores such as small and medium-sized supermarkets, retail stores, bakeries, etc. △ Medical facilities such as funeral parlors, makeup stores, and care facilities △ Medical facilities such as hospitals, nursing hospitals, pharmacies, medical meteorologists, blood donation facilities, and animal hospitals. The fear of freelancers is reaching its peak. Mr. A, who runs a Korean restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, said: “The business district that focuses mainly on eating, drinking and having fun should be considered as completely over. It will not be easy to come back to life. Really. there is no answer in the third stage. ” Even among the self-employed, there is also a public opinion that it is better to perform a full shutdown for 1-2 weeks to detect the spread.
Mr. B, who runs a restaurant in Jongno-gu, Seoul, said: “I was waiting for it to go down to the first stage, but now I don’t see any hope. I hope we will close all the doors without delay and reduce the spread to the first stage”. Said.
