The quarantine authorities announced on the 16th that as of the 18th they have decided to lift most of the ban on collective bans on prohibited commercial facilities in the metropolitan area, with the exception of entertainment facilities, and allow eating in cafes. Although the current social distancing step is extended by two weeks and the ban on private gatherings for more than 5 people remains, freelancers are expected to breathe a bit as facilities such as gyms and karaoke rooms are resumed.
However, quarantine guidelines must be followed, such as restrictions on the number of people per area of the facility and the time to stop the operation. Based on the announcement by the Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures (accompanying) of this day, the rules for the use of multipurpose facilities in the metropolitan area were summarized in question and answer format.
- Q. How do I eat coffee drinks?
- A. If the cafe permit / report area is 50㎡ or more, you should use only 50% of the total seating at a spaced table or seat. There must be a distance of 1m between the boards or a partition must be installed. If you remove the mask when you are not eating, you will be charged a penalty of no more than 100,000 won. If more than one user ordered only coffee, drinks and simple desserts, it is strongly recommended to limit the time spent in the store to one hour.
- Q. How will the use of indoor sports facilities change?
- A. Only one person may use for every 8㎡ (approximately 2.4 pyeong) of the entire facility area, including the exercise space, bathroom, and locker room. In the case of a group, only 4 people can enter and use. The maximum number of people per pool table is 4, and the screen golf course operated in one room type can only be used by a maximum of 4 people per room.
- Q. How to use the shower in the gym?
- A. You cannot use the showers in the indoor sports facilities. This is to minimize the situation of removing the mask. Only sports facilities corresponding to swimming events, such as swimming pools, can use showers as an exception.
- Q. Are group exercises available?
- A. Intense group exercise programs such as Zumba, Taebo, spinning and aerobics are not available.

- Q. How is the number of karaoke rooms limited?
- A. Like indoor sports facilities, karaoke rooms can only accommodate one person per 8㎡ of area for facility permits and reports. Due to the prohibition of private meetings with more than 5 people, the maximum capacity per room is limited to 4 people.
- Q. Can I use coin-operated karaoke?
- A. The method for calculating the number of people is the same as in a general karaoke room. However, if the facility is tight due to the nature of the facility and it is difficult to meet the standard for 1 person per 8㎡, the use of only 1 person per room is restricted.
- Q. Is it prohibited to install additional facilities in the ski resort?
- A. The ban on meetings for restaurants and cafes in ski resorts is also lifted. The suspension of operations continues after 9:00 p.m. The quarantine rules are the same as in restaurants and cafes in general. The method for calculating the number of additional facilities, such as changing rooms and entertainment rooms, is also one person for every 8㎡. However, it is still forbidden for individuals to host parties at the accommodation facilities or organize events at the accommodation facilities.
- Q. What is the limit to the number of academies and teaching schools?
- A. The academy is not a private meeting for social and leisure activities, so if one person is observed for every 8㎡ of facilities area and a distance of 1 m between users, more than 4 people can take classes in a classroom. Individual lessons are only allowed for singing and wind instrument lessons, where there is great concern about the spread of droplets. If partitions are installed, up to 4 people are allowed per classroom.
