<Anchor> The



number of additional corona19 confirmed cases was 370, and it came down to 300 again in three days.

With an average of 300 domestic cases per day for the last week, the government is currently discussing whether to adjust some of the social distancing steps.

In particular, taking into account the difficulties of self-employed people, we are reviewing a plan to delay the business hours until 10 pm by 1 hour until 9 pm, and specific details will be announced in the morning of the 6th.

There are two main targets for the government to review whether or not to ease quarantine regulations.



The question is whether to lift restrictions on businesses that are prohibited from collectively, such as business restrictions after 9 p.m., when self-employed protests are most intense, and entertainment facilities that cannot be opened.



[Son Young-rae / Jung Soo-bon Head of Social Strategy Group: The current situation has a lot of risk factors and considerations, 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.



Within the quarantine authorities, it is said that the opinion of extending the business time limit to 10 p.m. for 1 hour to relieve the breath of small businessmen is receiving support.



As the number of confirmed cases varies by region, plans to apply different business hours restrictions are also being reviewed.



However, as sporadic infections in religious facilities and hospitals are constantly being confirmed and the spread of the mutant virus to the region is confirmed, it is difficult to be cautious.



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 we refrain from visiting or traveling to our hometown during the Lunar New Year holidays, regardless of the adjustment of distance tomorrow.
