Reporter Kwon Ae-ri, friendly economy. Reporter Kwon, from yesterday (23rd). In the metropolitan area, the second stage of distancing, which had been in place a week ago, has been expanded nationwide, right?

<Reporter>

Yes. Meetings of less than 50 people indoors and less than 100 people outdoors should only be of this size.

Places such as entertainment bars, karaoke rooms, PC rooms, and buffet restaurants that are classified as so-called high-risk facilities will not be open for the time being.

Many cultural and public facilities operated by the country are also closed.

Depending on the local government, there are places that have taken more stringent quarantine measures beyond the second stage of social distancing, typically Seoul.

Protests and gatherings with more than 10 people outside are prohibited at all.

Only general events such as outdoor weddings are allowed for up to 100 people.

And from 0 o'clock today, new measures have been added.

In principle, it is mandatory to wear a mask anywhere in Seoul.

They ask you to always wear a mask whenever you go out of the house to downtown Seoul, except in unavoidable cases such as when eating.

In restaurants and cafes, except when eating, wear a mask and ask for conversation.

The mandatory wear of this mask has been spreading nationwide since last week.

Daegu, which suffered the most damage from Corona 19 in March, also made it mandatory to wear a mask anywhere, especially in Daegu, asking you to refrain from meeting each other with the metropolitan area for the time being.

Also, the metropolitan area, Jeolla, and Chungcheong areas have already enforced mandatory masks or started to be implemented over the weekend.

<Anchor> You

have to face the inconvenience again in various ways. Especially, you say that the brides and grooms who set the wedding date are under a lot of stress?

<Reporter>

Yes. It's not really easy to postpone the wedding. It would be really upsetting to the families of the prospective couples, but when they said that they were married on the planned day, the quarantine rules at the wedding hall were set in detail.

Indoor weddings can't fit more than 50 people in one space, and outdoors can't exceed 100 people.

At this time, 49 and 99 are the number of guests including groom, bride and parents.

The wedding hall staff will take it out of this number.

However, depending on the wedding hall, there are spaces where the ceremony is actually performed, and in other rooms, you can watch the ceremony proceed on the monitor.

In this way, 100 or 150 people can come to one wedding.

Saying that each of 49 people enters an independent space, but people cannot move between these spaces.

Right now, people would have to get mixed up in order to take a picture of a guest in the usual way, but I decided that it shouldn't be.

Also, it was originally a single space, but it was decided to divide the space by arranging partitions. Recently, there are some ceremonies that are conducted in this way, but it was decided that this is also not allowed.

49 people, they can't move again, so how do I take a wedding photo? Even if you take

<Reporter>,

it will inevitably be a commemorative photo.

Even when taking pictures, you should keep at least 1 meter between people.

Also, everyone should take a picture while wearing a mask.

In fact, there are some things that the wedding commemorative photo clearly leaves to the groom, bride and parents that I came in person, but in the Corona era, I have no choice but to take such a picture that is difficult to identify.

An exception applies that only the groom and bride wedding parties may take off their masks, including when entering and leaving the ceremony and taking commemorative photos.

In fact, now in principle, they are asked not to even eat at weddings.

Instead, they are encouraging guests to provide gifts in return.

If you have to eat rice, there is no buffet. You must provide a single item.

A wedding like this would be a bit difficult, and if you ask to postpone it, there will be a penalty issue from then on.

For now, it is recommended that prospective couples do not receive a penalty for up to 6 months if they postpone the wedding. Even if the wedding is just proceeding, there is a minimum number of guarantees originally contracted. There is a rule that no matter how many guests come, at least a few people must cover the cost of meals or gifts.

Most of these minimum guarantors are appointed when signing the contract, but it is recommended to reduce the minimum number of people by coordinating well with the couple.

About 150 places, about 30% of the nation's wedding halls, have a rough agreement to make this adjustment.

However, it is still unknown how much the remaining 70% will comply with this standard set by the Fair Trade Commission, and in fact, the couples have no choice but to negotiate with the wedding ceremony.

In addition, it is even more difficult at this stage to avoid disputes with the wedding hall if the ceremony is to be canceled at all. For the time being, it seems that there will also be pain here.
