[사회]Self-employed workers struggle with’extending distance’… “It is difficult to recover sales due to business restrictions at 9 pm”

[앵커]

The government has decided to keep the current social distancing stage until the 14th.

This time, the quarantine rules for some multi-use facilities were eased, but self-employed people, who had hoped to ease the business hours, burst into anger.

The government has extended the current social distancing, right?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

Step 2.5 of distance from the metropolitan area will be maintained until the end of the Lunar New Year holidays.

When the number of new confirmed cases fell to 300-400, the government initially considered a plan to ease the distance distancing step.

But recently, as group infections from the’IM Mission’ and daily infections followed, we decided to tighten the reins of quarantine once again.

It is based on the realistic judgment that the Lunar New Year holiday could become a’fire line’ for the re-proliferation of Corona 19.

For this reason, weddings and funerals in the metropolitan area are held with fewer than 50 people as now,

Five types of entertainment facilities and’Hold’em Pub’ were also closed for two weeks.

In particular, after 9 p.m., which attracted great interest, the measures to restrict the operation of multi-use facilities were extended for another two weeks.

This time, we were not allowed to alleviate this by local governments or regions.

However, there are some mitigations.

First of all, you can use the shower room of an indoor sports facility such as a gym by opening one space.

Seat restrictions for concert halls and movie theaters have also been somewhat relaxed.

In step 2 and above, you had to sit with your companion one space apart, but from now on, you can sit with your companion.

In addition, winter sports facilities such as ski resorts have been canceled after 9pm.

[앵커]

Are self-employed people’s backlash due to these measures?

[기자]

Yes, as did the gym owner I visited earlier, many self-employed people showed fatigue with the two-week extension of the distance distancing guidelines.

In particular, I was hoping that it would be extended by even an hour from the current 9 p.m. business restrictions, but even this is the same, so the front is dark.

Especially in Hongdae, as you can see behind me, there are many restaurants, pubs, and singing practice areas.

As the focus is mainly on the evening and night business, voices are pouring out whether it is too much to do it.

There is also a response that the disappointment was greater as they expected a slight recovery in sales ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays.

Of course, some facilities have been more relaxed than before, but they are complaining that it is difficult to recover sales under the so-called 9:00 pm corona curfew.

At the same time, as Corona 19 is seldom over, we have repeatedly requested that we do not just force self-employed people to sacrifice anymore, but to come up with detailed quarantine measures by industry from a long-term perspective.

Most of all, they asked to hear the voices of the field.

In the midst of this, the government decided to reconsider the adjustment of quarantine regulations, such as keeping distance and banning gatherings a week later.

In addition, we are planning to hold a’public debate for restructuring the distance stage’ tomorrow to collect opinions.
