According to the Central Headquarters for Disaster Countermeasures and Security on the 11th, the number of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 does not fall below 100 per day, so the government is putting more weight on the measures to continue with the measures. quarantine facilities strengthened only in the metropolitan area.

However, restaurants, cafes, and academies are known to be reviewing measures to release trade restrictions by setting conditions for quarantine measures.

This is the so-called “third method” that the government mentioned on this day with “finalize” and “extend”.

For restaurants whose business is restricted after 9:00 p.m., measures are being reviewed so that the night business can be resumed by following key rules, such as wearing a mask, creating an electronic access list with a QR code, and maintaining the distance between the clients.

If nightly business resumes, large company sites are expected to be required to abide by key quarantine rules.

Coffee franchises, bakeries, ice cream parlors and shaved ice shops are normally open, but a plan is being discussed to strictly limit the number of users.

A plan is being discussed to allow the resumption of operations in private academies and covered sports facilities, where a group ban order has been issued, under conditions of compliance with the quarantine rules.

However, the measures for high-risk facilities, such as clubs, are expected to remain the same.

Previously, the government raised the quarantine level in the metropolitan area from the 30th of last month to the 6th of this month to 2.5 levels, which is actually equivalent to the third level, and then extended it for one more week until the 13th.

Under this measure, franchise-type specialty coffee and dessert stores in the metropolitan area can only pack and deliver regardless of business hours. General restaurants and break restaurants are also available for packing and delivery only from 9 pm to 5 am the next day.

Indoor sports facilities, academies with 10 or more people, reading rooms, study cafes and covered sports facilities were suspended.

After a meeting on Sunday the 13th, it is known that the script will announce the decision. Reporter Lee Young-sil [email protected]
