social distance between Seoul and Gyeonggi Province has been elevated to 1.5 levels since the day (19th).

[Park Kyung-oh/Seoul Food Safety Team Leader: 50 to 150 sqm (restaurants and cafes) started (newly) from yesterday, so...
During the conversation, you must guide them to wear a mask, but it seems that it is still a bit insufficient.]
From tomorrow, Seoul plans to reinforce quarantine rules so that only half of all tables can be seated in general restaurants and cafes.
