tomorrow (14th), we are taking one step closer to our daily life before Corona.

Middle school students in the metropolitan area go to school more often, and the number of spectators for sporting events increases.

Those who enter the country with the vaccine from abroad will be exempted from self-quarantine for two weeks from the next month if they meet the conditions.



First news, this is reporter Han Sang-woo.



<Reporter> The



exemption from self-quarantine for those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 from abroad and entered the country will come into effect from the 1st of next month.



Those who have received emergency WHO vaccines, such as Pfizer, Janssen, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, before entering the country are eligible for 2 weeks.



[Sohn Young-rae/Chief of Social Strategy Division, Central Accident Remediation Headquarters: You must submit an application for exemption from quarantine, pledge, and proof of vaccination, and a certificate of exemption from quarantine will be issued after review by the diplomatic mission abroad.]



However, for important business, academic, or public interest purposes, Eligibility is limited to visits to the spouse's immediate family.



It also excludes those arriving from 13 countries where the mutant virus is prevalent, such as South Africa, Brazil, Bangladesh and Chile.



The Ministry of Education has also taken steps to ease social distancing.



Middle schools in the metropolitan area have decided to reduce the density of schools from less than one-third of the current total student population to two-thirds.



It will be applied from tomorrow, and we plan to review the progress and decide whether to go back to school for the second semester.



Starting tomorrow, sports venues such as baseball and soccer can accommodate up to 30% of the capacity in metropolitan areas and up to half in non-metropolitan areas.




Jamsil Baseball Stadium can hold 7,500 people and Busan Sajik Stadium can accommodate 12,000 people.



Although measures to ease the distance due to the expansion of vaccination are coming out one after another, the number of confirmed cases is not decreasing.



Yesterday, there were 419 new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Korea and 33 from overseas, a total of 452 people.



Although the number dropped to 400 in five days, it seems that the weekend with fewer tests has a big impact.



A public official in Incheon who was infected with the Indian mutant virus revealed that the route was false, resulting in 18 additional confirmed cases.
