It is known that the government has stepped up to extend the’social distancing’ step and’ban of meetings with more than 5 people’ measures currently in effect to prevent the spread of Corona 19 until the end of this month.
In addition, we are considering a plan to allow coffee and other beverages to be drunk in the cafe until 9:00 pm, and to allow the operation of fitness centers that have not been opened for the sixth week under the condition of limiting the number of users per area.
According to the quarantine authorities on the 15th, the government held a’Life Prevention Committee’ in which experts from various fields, including representatives of civic groups, participated in the medical field, and discussed the steps to be applied from next week and measures to prevent quarantine.
At this meeting, it is known that a plan to extend the current distancing phase (2.5 phases in the metropolitan area, phase 2 in the non-metropolitan area), which is scheduled to end on the 17th, to the 31st of this month for two weeks. In addition, opinions gathered that the ban on all private gatherings or dinners with more than 5 people would be extended by this period.
In the case of cafes, as in restaurants, in-store business is allowed until 9 pm, so that drinks or bread can be eaten in the store.
In the case of various indoor sports facilities such as a gym, we are considering a plan to limit the number of users and allow operation until 9 pm so that only one person per 8㎡ (about 2.4 pyeong) per facility can be used. The academy is also considering changing the standard of 9 people at the same time to the number of people per area.
Even if business such as a gym is restricted, five types of entertainment facilities such as an entertainment bar, a danran bar, an emotional bar, a collage, and a hunting pot tea, and a’hold’em pub’ (a type of bar where you can enjoy card games while drinking alcohol) are for the time being. Further business is expected to be banned.
