In places where there are many people, even if you are outside, you still have to wear a mask, but that seems to be resolved soon.

If that happens, you will be able to watch the professional baseball postseason next month and the BTS Busan performance without a mask.



More details will be provided by reporter Hyung-woo Hyung.

The first thing that quarantine authorities are considering further easing is the remaining outdoor mask restrictions.



It is to remove the obligation to wear a mask at outdoor concerts, baseball fields, and gatherings where more than 50 people gather.



[Park Hye-kyung / Head of the Prevention Support Team of the Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters: Especially outdoors, the risk of infection is relatively low, so if the remaining obligations are lifted, it is a situation that can be considered first.



] All of the BTS performances in Busan, scheduled for the 15th of the same month, are likely to be seen without a mask.

However, the removal of indoor masks requires a little more review.



In the case of infants and young children, the government has indicated that it is fully aware of the side effects in terms of emotional, language, and social development, and hinted at the possibility of some relief.



We are considering whether to release PCR testing within 24 hours of entry.



It is also pointed out that about 30% of inbound travelers do not register PCR test results in the quarantine information system, which lowers effectiveness.



[Lim Sook-young / Head of the Central Military Service Countermeasures Headquarters situation: Currently, we are conducting the first day (PCR) test after entering the country.

We plan to review (whether or not to release it) by comprehensively considering overseas cases and expert opinions.]



The government is reviewing plans to allow face-to-face visits to nursing hospitals and facilities, which were suspended at the end of July, soon.



The target and timing of quarantine mitigation is expected to be finalized soon after collecting expert opinions.
