<Anchor> The



number of new corona19 confirmed yesterday (16th) was about 93,000, which fell below 100,000 in six days.

The number of severe cases did not exceed 1,000 for the fourth day, and the number of deaths appears to have decreased to 203.

From tomorrow, almost all social distancing measures will be lifted except for wearing a mask.

Our reporter is out on a city street where there is a lot of anticipation.



Reporter Seo Dong-gyun, until today, we can stay open until midnight, and everyone can open our doors from tomorrow until dawn, right?

As the business hours restrictions are lifted from tomorrow, it is now possible to go to a drinking party in the early morning hours or perform band performances at clubs.



As the limit on the number of people at private gatherings has been lifted, more people can participate in banquets as well.



Most likely, the self-employed were most welcomed.

Let's hear the story.



[Min-Chul Min/Self-Employed: As much as I expected for two years, (expectations) can be high.

Originally, we shared the 2nd and 3rd floors, but we didn't use the 3rd floor very well.

Because there is not a lot of moving people.

(Currently on the 3rd floor), a lot of clean-up has been completed.]



In order to receive a group dinner, there were a number of places that adjusted the table spacing and recruited additional hall-serving personnel.

There were some restrictions on attending not only restaurants but also religious facilities, but these will all be lifted from tomorrow.



But should I continue to wear a mask indoors and outdoors?



<Reporter>



To celebrate Easter today, worship services and masses were held at various churches and cathedrals.



Until today, attendance is limited to 70% of seats, but from tomorrow onwards you will be able to attend religious events without restrictions.



The members who visited the church today expressed their expectations.



[Park So-yeon / Dongjak-gu, Seoul: Now that close contact is possible, I can laugh out loud with the saints (congregants), and I think it will be lively with the church group life.

As before.]



However, indoor and outdoor masks will be worn for the time being.



For outdoor masks, a decision will be made on whether or not they will be lifted early next month.



In addition, indoor dining at movie theaters and sports facilities will be available from the 25th.
