The government has decided to continue the social distancing measures, which are the 2.5th stage in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-metropolitan area, for another two weeks until the 17th.

In particular, the’prohibition of all private gatherings with more than 5 people’, which was applied only to the metropolitan area, will be expanded nationwide.

Club meetings with more than 5 people, workplace dinners, and New Year’s parties are completely prohibited regardless of location and location.

For accommodation facilities such as hotels, reservations are limited to two-thirds of the number of rooms.

This is a measure to stop the spread of infection and to stabilize the situation until vaccination begins.

The quarantine regulation is somewhat relaxed or strengthened according to the characteristics of the facility.

If the number of people is limited to 9 during the same time period, academies and training centers in the metropolitan area are allowed to operate.

Winter sports facilities such as ski resorts can also be opened on condition that the number of people is reduced to one-third and closed after 9pm.

On the other hand, the operation of a closed outdoor screen golf course was prohibited.

Convenience facilities and community center courses in non-metropolitan apartment complexes cannot be opened.

As the government chooses to extend the existing distance instead of a three-step upgrade in consideration of the economic shock and damage to people’s livelihood, it is noteworthy whether the spread of infection nationwide will be caught in the new year.
