Until this Sunday, more than 5 people cannot gather privately in the metropolitan area.
However, the quarantine authorities continued to explain more as the confusion continued as to what was and should not be.
In the golf course, 5 people including the caddy can move together, and in fishing boats, the owner of the boat decided to subtract from the number calculation.
This is Jang Se-man.
<Reporter> When the
government banned meetings of more than 5 people last week, related inquiries to the quarantine authorities followed.
Whether 8 people or 4 people sit at two tables, you can enter the restaurant, and when you play golf in a group of 4 people, can you bring a caddy, that is, a match assistant?
In response to this confusion, Gyeonggi Province announced on the 21st that if accompanied by a caddy, only three players can play.
[Jae-myeong Lee/Governor of Gyeonggi-do: I have to hit only 3 golf courses.
A group of 4 people will have difficulties.
It is (difficult), but it is an inevitable measure, so please understand.] The
quarantine authorities have prepared more specific guidelines today (31st).
Yesterday, in the process of consultation with local governments in the metropolitan area, the authoritative analysis was performed so that the staff and workers of the multi-use facility could be excluded from the number of people.
As a result, golf course caddy, fishing boat owners, taxi drivers, and restaurant employees are not subject to the group ban.
[Son Young-rae / Head of Strategic Planning Group, Jungsu-bon: If there are regulations on several persons (persons) in the current quarantine measures, the concept does not include employees in the business.]
Local governments in the metropolitan area such as Seoul and Gyeonggi have the authority to vote. According to the interpretation, it has been stated that the current guidelines that only 3 players can play if accompanied by a caddy has been changed to 4 players.
