Korean lunar tray "Chuseok" is also affected by the new corona September 30, 3:21
In Korea, the consecutive holidays of the Obon festival "Chuseok" in the lunar calendar will start on the 30th.
Every year, it is a time when many people go home and it is crowded, but due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the government calls for refraining from moving as much as possible, and it seems to be an unusual Chuseok.
In South Korea, the Obon festival of the lunar calendar called "Chuseok" is also called "Migration Period" because many people go home every year and the railroads and roads are crowded.
This year, from the 30th, we will have five consecutive holidays in line with "Chuseok", but in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said, "It is not unfaithful to see my parents, but rather filial piety. The South Korean government is calling for refraining from moving as much as possible.
For this reason, it is expected that the movement of people will decrease, as highways that can be passed free of charge are usually charged during this period, and only half of the seats on the railroad are sold.
A man living in the suburbs of Seoul said, "I can't see my family this time, so I watch TV and read books. If the virus passes, I'll see you again slowly."
In South Korea, outbreaks occurred one after another in churches and other places last month, and the number of people infected per day exceeded 400 for the first time since March, and the virus infection spread again, so the government is becoming more vigilant.
