Step 4 of distancing in the metropolitan area will be applied for two weeks from today to the 25th.
You can gather up to 4 people during the day, but only 2 people after 6pm.
If 4 people meet and it is past 6 o'clock, 2 people must come out first.
Immediate family members are no exception.
As of today, as with other private gatherings, only 4 people are allowed before 6pm and 2 people after that.
However, families living in the same house are excluded.
Weddings and funerals are limited to 49 relatives only.
All religious events will also be converted to non-face-to-face.
Restaurants, cafes, and PC rooms, academies, and reading rooms are only open until 10:00 p.m.
Sports events are not held without spectators, and assemblies and events are prohibited except for one-person demonstrations.
Benefits that were supposed to be provided to the vaccinated are also withheld.
You are not exempt from the person limit and you must wear a mask even outdoors.
Daycare centers in the metropolitan area will be closed from today, and kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools will switch to distance learning from today in Gyeonggi and Incheon and the day after tomorrow in Seoul.
If you go to an expedition dinner or a trip across the border of the metropolitan area, there is no realistic way to stop or punish them.
For the next two weeks, the voluntary participation of the people is the most important reason.
