Earlier, on the 1st, in downtown Seoul, a small ‘3·1 rallies’ with nine or less people were held sporadically. The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police took a strict response to the urban rally, including fences in major areas of the city center, such as Gwanghwamun and Seoul Plaza, and deploying 700 police officers from 118 companies.

However, at the same time, hundreds of people gathered in major shopping malls in the city, hundreds of meters away from the assembly site, without social distancing. At the entrance of the department store’The Hyundai Seoul’ in Yeouido, Seoul, more than 100 customers with umbrellas lined up waiting for the opening.

Director Park said, “As the temperature rises, the amount of movement such as spring outings is increasing. As the amount of movement increases, there is a great concern about the spread of infectious diseases due to increased interpersonal contact.” “We are constantly discussing the reorganization plan with the script, experts, and related organizations.”
