Even if the ban on meetings with more than 5 people is maintained, the business hours are somewhat disappointed to the self-employed, who expected that the business hours would be slightly increased from 9 pm

It makes sense too.

The reporter went to the scene.



Reporter Shin Jeong-eun, it’s Sunday night, how is the street look



<Reporter>



Yes, I am now in Hongdae Street.



Even today (31st), less than an hour is left until the business time limit. As the government decided to extend the social distancing stage and quarantine measures for two weeks until the Lunar New Year holidays, meetings of more than 5 people were banned and open after 9pm Restrictions remain the same.



When I met the bosses here, they talked about the frustration.

Let's meet for a second.



[Kim In-hee/Restaurant President: (President, the distance between us has been extended. How are you?) I’m angry.

I hope the Corona 19 ends soon.

And as soon as the Lunar New Year holidays are over, I hope the restrictions on business will be lifted.

(Yes, thank you.)] As



you can see, the day is quickly ending, with many citizens rushing to head home.

Yes, I just heard what the boss said, but right after today's announcement, many merchant groups made their voices.

Seol is ahead, but self-employed people said that as the distance distance was extended, quarantine measures appropriate to reality should be taken.



[Recently Jae-geun/Singing practice center owner: Karaoke is usually open from 7 to 8 pm, but in fact, it is 9 pm (if limited), customers cannot be received from 8 pm and have to be released at 9 pm...

Today, several self-employed and small business organizations made a joint statement, arguing that the government's extension of distance was a one-sided decision to ignore small and medium-sized merchants and self-employed people.



They also demanded that the opening hours limit be relaxed by at least midnight.



The group representatives who made a statement decided to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss future countermeasures, and it is known that they are considering street protests and systematic business resumption.
