Recently, among self-employed people, there is a saying that it would be better to do three steps to distance yourself.
It's a short and bold pause to stop the spread and people will come out again.
However, the government is still cautious and has issued additional quarantine guidelines for only some industries.
This is reporter Kim Hyung-rae.
<Reporter> For a
week, the number of confirmed cases in Korea increased to 882.6 on average per day.
However, the quarantine authorities said they would not decide to raise the distance to only the number of confirmed cases.
Additional conditions for the three-stage upgrade were the loss of control of the quarantine network, which could not track the confirmed cases, and the collapse of the medical system, which could not treat crowded patients.
We're going to do all the extra quarantine measures we can take before we go to step 3.
To this end, first of all, a group ban was imposed on'Hold'em Pub', a card game restaurant that has recently been infected by a group infection for 9 days from the 19th.
Even in unmanned cafes, which are considered blind spots for quarantine, eating or drinking inside the store is prohibited, just like regular cafes.
Ski resorts in the non-metropolitan area, where the second step of distance was applied, was raised to step 2.5 and stopped operating after 9 p.m.
Each local government is also strengthening its own quarantine rules.
Gyeonggi Province is reviewing an administrative order banning meetings of five or more people, and Jeju Island plans to mandate diagnostic tests for all people entering Jeju Island.
Meanwhile, the health authorities have emphasized that the third step of our distance is different from European city blockades, and that if we upgrade to step 3, we will provide sufficient information in advance without any sudden announcement.
