<Anchor> The

events you saw now were more deferred, so you did your best. But if the government didn't do that, I would appeal to the metropolitan area, where most of them are concentrated on the definite.

[Park Neung-Hoo / Minister of Health and Welfare: Please refrain from going out and meetings. Please postpone the visit of densely packed facilities such as restaurants, cafes, and shopping malls for a while.]

This was the first weekend, and reporter Park Jae-hyun looked at how the streets were.

<Reporter> The

street of Gangnam Station in Seoul in the afternoon today (30th).

This is the first weekend since the government announced yesterday (29th) that it will strengthen the defense of the metropolitan area, but the crowded appearance is not much different from the streets before the corona spread.

Health authorities have asked to refrain from visiting shopping malls, restaurants, and cafes.

The intention is to delay the spread of corona in the metropolitan area even a little.

However, it is difficult for restaurants and cafes to find empty tables as guests come out to eat out.

[You have to wait. (How much should I think?)

It's difficult to predict.] [Do you have a seat? (If you wait, I'll call you.)] Because

people are crowded in a small space, it is not easy to practice 'keeping away in life'.

[Choi Jae-hoon / Yongin-si, Gyeonggi: When I see so many people in Gangnam, it doesn't seem to be a lot of concern, and I try to come out often because I do that… .]

Shopping malls are similar.

As the number of holiday visitors flocked, a long line was created in an instant in front of the store.

The street positioning recommended by the quarantine authorities was not observed, and there were people who did not wear masks properly or not even indoors.

The government repeatedly called for strict adherence to preventive measures, saying this weekend is the most important time to stop the spread of infection in the metropolitan area within the next two weeks.
