There are two main targets for the government to review whether or not to ease quarantine regulations.
The question is whether the restrictions on business types that are banned from collective business, such as business restrictions after 9 p.m., when self-employed people are protesting the most, and entertainment facilities that cannot be opened at all, are released.
[Son Young-rae / Jung Soo-bon Head of Social Strategy Group: The current situation has a lot of risk factors and points to consider, so the government is discussing it with great consideration.] The
average number of confirmed cases in Korea per day in the last week was 363. It has been down to Level 2 of Distance.
It is reported that the opinion of the quarantine authorities to extend the business time limit to 10 p.m. for 1 hour to relieve the breath of small businesses.
As the number of confirmed cases varies by region, plans to apply different business hours restrictions are also being reviewed.
However, sporadic infections do not end in religious facilities and hospitals, and as the spread of the mutant virus has been confirmed in the region, it is difficult to be careful.
The six businesses prohibited from gathering, including entertainment facilities, are vulnerable to infection, so there is a greater concern about resumption of business.
The ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people is likely to remain until the Lunar New Year holidays.
The government requested that people refrain from visiting or traveling to their hometown during the Lunar New Year holidays regardless of the distance adjustment.
