Reporter Kwon Ae-ri is here on Monday.

Reporter Kwon, the government has announced that it is not yet to raise the level of 2.5 steps in the metropolitan area, and yet it will implement the so-called'tweezers regulation'. Shall we take a look at that today (30th)?



<Reporter>



Yes, 70% of all confirmed cases are coming from the metropolitan area.

So, we are raising the level of quarantine a little more than the second stage we are doing.



However, there is a concern that the burden on the economy will be high when step 2.5 is carried out in full, so the so-called'tweezers regulation' will be carried out in places with high infection risk, which are actually used by young people recently, and where group infection has occurred.



For example, facilities that perform vigorous exercise in groups, and facilities that learn six group exercises such as aerobics, kickboxing, and spinning, are completely banned from tomorrow in the metropolitan area.

First, for a week, until the 7th of the following week.



The social distancing phase now is one of the adjustments made earlier this month.

Regulations are relatively looser than those in August and September.



In fact, in August, we couldn't operate indoor facilities that were already doing this intense group movement in the second phase.

However, in the second stage now, it only has to close at 9 p.m.



However, it has been proven that the infection risk of indoor group exercise is substantial.

In the case of an aerobics academy in Gangseo-gu, 176 people have been confirmed so far.



Even though the students are said to wear masks here, it is difficult to keep wearing masks perfectly if you do intense exercise together in an enclosed space.



As it became clear that the risk of infection would increase, it was decided to ban the operation of these group sports facilities for a week starting tomorrow.



All regions except the metropolitan area will be raised to 1.5 levels starting tomorrow.

This is the next two weeks.

However, seven local governments, such as Jecheon, Suncheon, and Hadong, where group infections have already occurred, are carrying out phase 2 by themselves.



In addition, Busan and Gyeongnam, as well as regional organizations whose current situation is unclear, are also pursuing a second stage upgrade.

Sports facilities You mentioned first, but nowadays, group infections continue to occur in various places besides sports facilities?



<Reporter>



Yes, there are 58 places where group infections have occurred in the country in the past two weeks. Including the aforementioned sports facilities such as aerobics academy and gym, saunas, churches, academies, restaurants, bars, kids cafes, karaoke rooms. In these places, in many places, group infections are continuing.



So, first of all, public baths and baths in the metropolitan area are not banned at all, but the sauna and steam room facilities will not be available from tomorrow.



In particular, there have been 144 confirmed patients in two saunas in the apartment community in Seocho-gu so far.From tomorrow, the complex facilities in the apartment or residential community will not be available to all saunas, as well as gyms, cafes, and reading rooms.



The policy is to try it for a week and check the progress.

Among the academies, singing academy and academy that learns wind instruments such as flute and clarinet are prohibited from operating.



No matter what genre, such as vocal music, Korean traditional music, or practical music.

It is common to all academies, teaching centers, and cultural centers, except for college entrance examination classes.

Flute Wind instruments like this or singing academy are more like this because the splash can bounce like this, right?

(That's right.) And at the end of this year, having a year-end party or holding a party has become more difficult again?



<Reporter>



Yes, as there are many places that are prohibited with such a bad atmosphere these days, there were a lot of people who decided to set up a separate space for the year-end party instead of holding it at restaurants or bars.



It is difficult to make reservations for tolerable party room facilities, guest houses, and residences in the city.

For December, the reservation price has increased by 30-40% from November.



However, for a week starting tomorrow, in the metropolitan area, events and parties organized at accommodation facilities such as hotels, guesthouses and party rooms have been banned.



However, it is not organized by the facility, but individuals gathered by renting a party room or a hotel room, so there is a little vagueness about how to do such a meeting.



Of course, it is difficult for the facility to regulate reservations made by individuals rather than events organized by the facility.Also, even if individuals cancel reservations to comply with the quarantine guidelines, this is not a reservation organized by the facility. It is said that it is canceled due to necessity, and there may be a penalty dispute.



In fact, events hosted by hotels or party rooms are difficult to find even if you try to find them in the same atmosphere these days.



In the end, individual voluntary reservations are the mainstay of reservations these days, and it seems that unnecessary confusion or penalty disputes can be avoided only when the authorities give more detailed and clear related regulations.
