[사회]Downward the steps to keep the distance…”Door closing quarantine → Practical quarantine change”

[앵커]

From the day after tomorrow, the social distancing step goes down one step at a time.

The metropolitan area is lowered to stage 2 and the non-metropolitan area is lowered to stage 1.5, and the restriction on business in the metropolitan area is eased from 9pm to 10pm.

We will connect with reporters to learn more. Reporter Kim Hye-eun!

The government lowered the distance step?

[기자]

Starting from Monday, the social distancing phase, which will be applied, will go down one step at a time.

The metropolitan area is currently going down from stage 2.5 to stage 2, and the non-metropolitan area now goes down from stage 2 to stage 1.5.

Accordingly, 430,000 multi-use facilities, such as restaurants, cafés, and indoor sports facilities in the metropolitan area, which were only allowed to operate until 9 p.m., can be open until 10 p.m.

In addition, 480,000 multi-use facilities such as movie theaters, PC cafes, academies, reading rooms, and large marts will be lifted from operating hours.

In cinemas and performance halls, one seat is allowed to be raised, or one seat other than a companion is allowed.

Sports arenas will be accessible to 10% of the total spectators.

Entertainment facilities across the country, which were closed for the past three months, are now able to reopen.

However, key quarantine measures must be observed, such as prohibiting the entry of up to 4 people per room and dancing in the club, and can only be open until 10 pm.

In the case of the non-metropolitan area, the operation time limit for restaurants, cafes, and indoor sports facilities is lifted, except for door-to-door sales, as it is adjusted to step 1.5.

The rules that cannot gather more than 5 people remain the same. Are there any changes?

[기자]

That’s right.

The’prohibition of gatherings of more than 5 people’, which is judged to be effective in preventing the spread of infection, remains the same throughout the country.

Regardless of where you live, you can only gather up to 4 people, including babies and toddlers.

However, in the case of immediate family members, private gatherings of 5 or more are allowed even if they do not live together.

So, if you are a direct family, you can go to a restaurant with 5 or more people even if you don’t live together.

The government said that this distancing plan means a shift from quarantine that closes business sites to quarantine in which the people practice and participate.

The fire of the third epidemic is still alive, and there is a possibility of the spread of foreign mutant viruses, so individual quarantine measures have become more important.

[앵커]

In the midst of this, the number of new confirmed cases yesterday recorded 300 in four days, right?

[기자]

As of today 0 o’clock, there are 362 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea.

The number of people decreased by 41 a day, and in four days, it went down to 300.

As it is the Lunar New Year holiday, the decrease in the number of inspections seems to have been large, so it is too early to judge that the spreading trend has declined.

Looking at the route of infection, there were 345 domestic outbreaks and 17 foreign inflows.

There are 257 people in the metropolitan area alone, and more than 70% of all confirmed cases came from the metropolitan area.

There were sporadically confirmed cases in non-capital areas, including 26 in Busan and 14 in Daegu and Chungnam.

Yesterday, 7 more people died from Corona 19, and the cumulative death toll exceeded 1,500.

The number of severe gastric patients decreased by 4 to 157, and 73,000 people were cured.
