<Anchor> As the
corona spreading trend is unusual, rally will be held across the country today (14th).
The organizers of the assembly, including the KCTU, said that the number of people gathering in one place will be less than 100 and that they will follow the quarantine rules well.

Today, 146 meetings were announced in Seoul alone.
The KCTU-related rally will be held in 61 locations, including Yeouido and downtown Seoul, and the total number of participants is expected to reach 15,000 when 12 gatherings are held in the region.
Conservative groups also announced meetings in 47 places in downtown Seoul.
The organizers of the rally said they plan to hold the rally in several places with fewer than 100 people, and to strictly follow the quarantine regulations.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government, which banned the assembly of more than 10 people during the 8/15 Liberation Day and Gaecheon Day, has slightly relaxed the standards by banning more than 100 people from the 12th of last month.
The quarantine authorities have recently expressed concern that the rally will be another trigger of infection with the number of new confirmed cases surpassing 100 people in six consecutive days.
[Yoon Tae-ho/Central Accident Control Headquarters Headquarters: We ask both the organizers and attendees to reconsider or minimize the assembly, and we repeatedly urge you to thoroughly manage the quarantine at the time of the assembly.] Even
with less than 100 people, there is a great concern about group infection. This is because group meals or refreshments in the vicinity of the planned meeting place increase the risk of infection.
The police will immediately induce dissolution if there are more participants than the reported number of participants or if the small gathering participants suddenly gather and the scale grows.
It also said that if an illegal assembly is enforced in response to dissolution, it will be punished without exception, such as on-site arrest.
