[속보]Jeong Sye-gyun “Already under strong quarantine measures”…Does not upgrade to the third stage

The government has decided not to raise the social distancing in the metropolitan area to three stages.

A government official said on the 27th, “We decided not to raise the distance to the metropolitan area to three stages. We decided to extend the current 2.5 steps.”

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said in a remark at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting, which began at 3 o’clock on the same day, “As the social distancing phase that has been implemented for the past three weeks ends tomorrow, we will discuss whether to adjust the phase in today’s script.” It is’practice’. The special measures we are already implementing include stronger quarantine measures than the third stage of distancing.”

Prior to finalizing the distancing adjustment plan with the quarantine authorities and local governments, the message that “stronger quarantine measures are currently being implemented than the three steps of distancing” and “the implementation of the current measures is important” was also put on maintaining current measures. It seems to be a remark

The special measures mentioned by Prime Minister Chung refer to the’special quarantine measures for the year-end and New Year’ announced by the Ministry of Health and Welfare last week.

From the 24th, meetings of five or more people were banned in all restaurants across the country, and winter sports facilities such as ski resorts, major tourist attractions, and national and public parks were closed.

This was more powerful than the three-step measure, which banned meetings and events with more than 10 people and partially limited the capacity for national and public facilities, sports facilities and major tourist attractions.

In addition, the fact that the socio-economic damage was enormous in the third stage of the upgrade was a burden.

At the time of the 3rd stage upgrade, 2,300,000 facilities nationwide will be suspended or restricted. Also, it is a difficult problem to keep the third stage until the third stage of quarantine effect does not appear immediately.

Prime Minister Chung said, “The key to whether or not this spreading tax is pacified depends on whether we properly implement the quarantine rules we have established in our daily lives.” “Once again, we sincerely ask for continued participation and cooperation from the people.”
