The Lunar New Year holiday is coming five days ahead. How have quarantine measures changed?

It hasn’t changed in the big frame.

The current distance, which is the 2.5th stage in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-metropolitan area, is maintained until midnight on the 14th, the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday.

Special quarantine measures for the Lunar New Year holidays, such as banning private gatherings with more than 5 people and recommending refraining from traveling and traveling, are also in effect.

However, the current limit of business hours in stores, such as restaurants, until 9 p.m. will be reduced by one hour only in non-metropolitan areas.

The day after tomorrow, it will take effect on the next Monday.

It takes into account the damage of small business owners, which increases as the strong social distancing increases.

Let’s listen to the announcement of Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who presided over the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting.

It is applied to 13 cities and provinces in the non-metropolitan area, and Gwangju, where the recent church-related group infection occurred, will be decided by tomorrow after seeing the spread.

More than 70% of confirmed cases were concentrated in the metropolitan area, and there is still a risk of spreading, so the current business hours are maintained.

For establishments that violate the quarantine rules, a separate penalty for negligence is implemented, and the’One Strike Out’ system is enforced, in which a group is banned for two weeks even if caught only once.
