<Anchor> As the

spread of Corona 19 seldom subsided, the government camped for drainage. In the metropolitan area, measures equivalent to the 3rd step, the highest level of social distancing, are implemented. From tomorrow (30th), nighttime business of restaurants and bakeries in the metropolitan area will be restricted, and franchise coffee shops only accept packaging and delivery orders.

This is reporter Song In-ho.

<Reporter> From

tomorrow to the 6th of the following month, all restaurants and bakeries in the metropolitan area will not be able to receive customers from 9pm to 5am the next day.

Only packaging or delivery is allowed during this time.

Franchise cafes such as Starbucks cannot eat or drink inside the store regardless of business hours, and only packaging and delivery orders are accepted.

Even if you use a package delivery service at restaurants and these cafes, you must make a list of visitors, wear a mask, and keep a minimum distance of 1m.

However, small cafes operated by individuals have been excluded from the restrictions on operation.

The government's action is interpreted as a stepping stone before going from step 2 to step 3 of social distancing, and as a stepping stone to reduce social and economic impacts.

[Park Neung-hoo/Minister of Health and Welfare: Please stay at home for the next 8 days unless absolutely necessary. If we do not catch the spreading trend in the metropolitan area, we have only the last resort of'three steps away.'] There

are 380,000 restaurants and bakeries in the metropolitan area that are restricted by this measure.
