<Anchor> There



are 500 additional corona19 confirmed cases today (15th) for the fourth day.

As the number of patients is significantly lower than before, authorities will announce tomorrow what to do next week's distancing phase.

The measures to prevent more than five people from gathering and the current distancing phase are likely to be maintained.

Authorities are known to be struggling to delay the time to eat inside the restaurant a little further from the current 9pm.

Self-employed people, such as restaurants hit by Corona, hold a protest rally by stepping on a wall clock set to the time limit for business.




We urged them to put compensation rules in the Infectious Disease Prevention Act so that they can be compensated for business losses, not disaster subsidies.



[Gyeonggi-seok/Coin Singing Practice Association Chairman: Tweezers prevention is important. Shouldn't we need to support tweezers?] The



incidence in the country decreased to 400 people on the second day, but among all confirmed cases, infection between individuals increased to 39% earlier this month.



[Yoon Tae-ho/Head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters: The current pattern of infection transmission seems to be shifting from group infection centered to individual contact centers.] The



government announces a plan to

adjust the

distance at 11 am tomorrow.



Currently, the distance step and ban on groups of 5 or more are weighed on the extension side.



The remaining issue is whether the restaurant will extend its in-store business hours.



Politics and others have repeatedly requested that the business hours, which are until 9pm, be increased by an hour, but the quarantine authorities are known to be struggling to say that the possibility of spreading corona increases as much as the time spent at the restaurant.



For the café industry that can only be packaged and delivered, it is being considered to limit the number of people per area and allow in-store business.



However, it seems that the ban on gatherings for entertainment facilities, including karaoke rooms, will remain.



In the announcement tomorrow, special quarantine measures to reduce the amount of movement during the Lunar New Year holidays will also be presented.
