number of additional corona19 confirmed cases was 840, maintaining three digits for two consecutive days.

At the end of last year, the average number of domestic outbreaks per day exceeded 1,000, but recently it has decreased to 800.

It can be seen that the social distancing effect is showing little by little. In Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, it was revealed that 17 people in total ate at a restaurant, along with the employees of city councilors who should take the lead.

On the morning of the 4th, about 40 people, including a city councilor in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, held a New Year's visit at the memorial tower in the hall.




When I worshiped, I wore a mask at regular intervals, but that was a problem after that.



After the event, 17 people, including city council members and council staff, gathered at a nearby restaurant and ate breakfast together.



This is the day when the ban on private gatherings for more than 5 people was extended nationwide.



The city council explained that at the time, group meals were considered an extension of official service, and that the table space was maintained.



[Shin Jin-hwa/Chairman of Gwangyang City Council: I went there because I wanted to eat rice cake soup on the 4th... I was really wrong. I will write a separate apology for that.]



Gwangyang City is planning to determine whether to impose a fine after determining the facts.



Violations by public officials, who should take the lead in quarantine, have recently been followed.



The head of Incheon Yeonsu-gu had lunch with about 10 employees, and Muan County, Jeollanam-do, went around the quarantine site and drank alcohol with the executives in broad daylight.



Even if it is a public affair, after the meeting is over, it is not possible to gather more than 5 people to eat according to the quarantine rules.



In addition, the quarantine authorities stressed that if meals and meetings are held at the same time, they must prove that they are in public service.
