It’s Saturday night, but because of the war against Corona 19, it seems like you have to give up the night view of Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented quarantine measures near the curfew. After a while, starting at 9 am, not only hypermarkets, but all stores over 300m2, cinemas and reading rooms must close. Let’s go to the streets of Seoul.
Reporter Kim Sang-min, The atmosphere at the end of the year is full, but what is the urban landscape like?
<기자>
Yes, I am at Yeongdeungpo Times Square in Seoul.
The appearance of citizens standing in front of a large, shiny tree installed before Christmas is not much different from the previous year.
In an hour from now, most stores wanting to gather a little crowd around here are expected to close.
The large building that you can see is the largest shopping center around, and there are several restaurants, supermarkets and cinemas.
According to the quarantine measures of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, this large-scale shopping center, several medium-sized stores with an area of 300m2 or more, and the cinemas can only be open until 9 p.m. Everything becomes impossible.
When I walked into a hypermarket a while ago, it was full of customers who came to shop for dinner on the weekend and noticed that the business hours had changed to 9 o’clock.
Facilities such as the academy, reading room, study cafeteria, PC room, and game room will also be open until 9 o’clock for the next two weeks.

By the way, what is the reaction of citizens?
<기자>
Citizen reactions to the unprecedented high intensity quarantine measures were mixed, so let’s hear them first.
[필요하다고 생각하는 게, 밤에 많은 사람들이 모이면 위험하기도 하니까 더 빨리 닫았으면 좋겠어요.] [평일에는 (일이) 늦게 끝나는 사람이라 (장을) 늦게 보죠. 이런 환경에서 마스크 다 쓰고 있어서 (영업 제한을) 안 해도 될 것 같은데….]The city of Seoul announced that it will cut 30% of city bus operations starting at 9 p.m. on the 5th, and the number of subway operations will decrease starting next Tuesday.
There are complaints about whether the density of public transport is increasing, but the City Council judges that at present it is inevitable to artificially repress the movement of citizens.
