The’prohibition of private gatherings for more than 5 people’, which was applied only to the metropolitan area, has been expanded nationwide from today.

The government decided to extend the second-stage distance from the non-metropolitan area by two more weeks until the 17th.

In particular, the ban on private gatherings for more than 5 people, which was applied only to the metropolitan area, has been expanded nationwide from today.

All social gatherings, such as New Year’s party, first-birth party, and workplace dinners, are eligible.

However, family gatherings based on special circumstances such as a person with a disability or a child in need of care or death are exceptions.

In addition, winter sports facilities such as ski resorts, which were banned due to special quarantine measures during the year-end and New Year period, have been restricted from operation today.

Some regulations were relaxed by reflecting on-site opinions such as backlash from the ski resort industry.

Ski resort operations have resumed, but from 5 am to 9 pm, only one-third of the capacity is available.

In addition, the operation of auxiliary facilities such as restaurants and cafes was prohibited, and the shuttle bus service was also suspended.
