The social distancing stage has also been re-extended from today.

The previous stage 2.5 in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-metropolitan area, the distance setting, will continue for two more weeks until the 17th.

The ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people is also applied from the metropolitan area to the whole country.

There are also areas that are alleviated.

In consideration of the caring gap during vacations, academy in the metropolitan area is allowed if the number of students is less than 9, and winter sports facilities such as ski resorts are open until 9 pm with a limit of one-third of the capacity.
