The government has decided to allow up to four people in private gatherings outside of the metropolitan area from tomorrow.
Prime Minister Kim Bu-gyeom, who presided over a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters held at the government complex in Seoul on the afternoon of the 18th, said, "Right now, it is necessary to prevent the spread of the virus one step ahead of the speed of transmission."
However, Prime Minister Kim said, "The implementation period and detailed rules will be discussed and confirmed and announced at today's major headquarters meeting."
Prime Minister Kim also said, "Today, some churches in Seoul are holding face-to-face worship services, causing concern to the public," and instructed the quarantine authorities to "take strict measures in accordance with laws and principles."
They expressed their "deep regret" about the fact that three of those who attended the KCTU rally on the 3rd were confirmed with Corona 19.
Prime Minister Kim emphasized, "I hope that the Confederation of Trade Unions will actively cooperate even now so that assembly attendees can be tested immediately in accordance with the diagnostic test administrative order of the Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
