In Daegu, a court decision has made it possible for people under the age of 60 to go in and out without a quarantine pass when using restaurants and cafes.

There are several areas where the youth quarantine pass was previously suspended, but now there are growing calls to completely improve the quarantine pass policy.

A restaurant in Daegu.



Many customers are confused as to whether or not to take a quarantine pass.



[(Should I take a picture?) No, you don’t have to.]



[You don’t have to take a picture.

(Oh right?)] Some citizens said that the

quarantine



pass was gone, so it became more convenient,



[Daegu Citizen: I was doing something unnecessary in the first place.



For the owner who had to distinguish between those who are over 60 and those who are not, the work has increased.



[Son Eun-jung / Daegu restaurant president: (60 years old) Do it, don't do it below, it's a bit busy to do this.

I wish I could just do it all or not do it all.]



There are 18 cases of quarantine pass lawsuits against the state or local governments, but the target and facilities are different according to the court decision.



The youth quarantine pass has been suspended in seven areas including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Daejeon, Chungbuk, Daegu, and Busan, and in Gyeonggi-do, the quarantine pass is also suspended for exhibitions and expositions.



As some of the effects of restaurants and cafes in Daegu have been suspended, the argument that the overall quarantine pass should be reviewed is growing.



[Kim Woo-joo/Professor of Infectious Diseases Department of Korea University Guro Hospital: Since the government does not conduct an epidemiological investigation and passively monitors close contacts of confirmed patients for 7 days, the role of the quarantine pass has significantly decreased now, and it is not right to think that it has reached the end of its lifespan (I think) )]



However, the government's position remains unchanged.



Minister of Health and Welfare Kwon Deok-cheol said that the epidemic situation has not yet stabilized, so a quarantine pass is needed.
