As President Moon Jae-in announced on the 15th that he plans to prepare and implement a new social distancing plan, it is very likely that the distancing system will change from the current 5th stage to the 3rd stage. In this case, it is expected that the majority of the companies will be able to operate and that the business hours will be reduced.
The government has recently begun a review of the social distancing steps and standards and plans to improve the multi-use facilities. In particular, the Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare held the ‘Second public debate for the reorganization of the social distancing system’ on the 9th. Gang-tae, the second deputy minister of the Ministry of Social Welfare, said: “The government will create a system based on autonomy and responsibility while minimizing operational restrictions in the future.” This is in line with what President Moon said: “We intend to move from a uniformly applied quarantine to a quarantine based on autonomy and responsibility.”
Therefore, it is very likely that the forum proposal will lead to real policy. Kim Moran, a professor of preventive medicine at the Graduate School of the National Cancer Center, presented a proposal to change the current distance from five steps to three. The biggest change in this system is to go from prohibiting businesses by industry to a way of prohibiting behavior with a high risk of infection. Activities such as dancing in the restaurant and moving tables are prohibited from the second stage in lieu of commercial suspension, as there are almost no facilities that are prohibited from meeting. It is forbidden to exercise in the sports facilities and in the saunas it is forbidden to eat and steam. Business hours were banned after 12 p.m. in the second stage and after 9 p.m. in the third stage.
The distance level setting was set in step 1 if there were fewer than 200 confirmed patients per day and in step 3 if there were more than 500 confirmed patients per day. Step 2 was not presented separately. Therefore, if the current state of fluctuations in the 300-400 range is applied to the new distance stage, most of the businesses will be open and open until 12 pm
He suggested that the ban on private gatherings, which had the greatest effect in stopping the spread of the third epidemic, be kept in a subdivision. In the lifetime quarantine, private gatherings of less than 20 people are allowed, and the first stage is limited to less than 10 people and the second stage is limited to less than 5 people. In the third stage, they asked to meet less than 3 people, that is, only 2 people. The proposed distance within the pass increases if at least one criterion is met. On the contrary, by lowering the level, it is more difficult to meet all the criteria. For companies that violate the quarantine rules, a plan is discussed to increase the sanction and group ban period of the current One Strike Out (penalty fine and immediate group ban for two weeks).
Starting this week, the government will begin serious work on social distancing reform. Sohn Young-rae, Social Strategy Team Leader Jung Soo-bon, “For two weeks, we will review the quarantine coordination plan as we observe the Corona 19 epidemic and determine whether the outbreak is becoming more stable or shows signs of re-proliferation. ” He said.
