However, the door must be closed from 1 am to 5 am, and if a confirmed case occurs due to violating the quarantine rules, the entire business can be ordered to cease business again.



From tomorrow, the city of Daejeon will also ease the ban on gatherings of religious facilities, so if there are fewer than 50 people, face-to-face church services will be allowed.



Busan, Sejong, Chungnam, and Jeonnam have already allowed businesses classified as high-risk facilities such as PC cafes at the judgment of the heads of local governments.

As the endless COVID-19 tunnel continues, the local economy is breathing and the local governments are deepening concerns about preventing the spread of infection.
