The social distancing stage caused by Corona 19 will remain the same until the 14th. This is because the government decided that if the Lunar New Year holidays are not passed well, the pandemic could become serious again. However, as the self-employed people in the metropolitan area immediately declared their objection to the fact that the business hours of multi-use facilities were reduced by 1 hour to 10 p.m. in the non-metropolitan area, a red light was lit on quarantine. On the 6th, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced that the current distancing stage, the 2.5th stage in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-capital area, will be maintained until the 14th. The reason for this decision was that the average number of confirmed cases per day in the metropolitan area has not decreased from the mid-200 range for the third week, and sporadic group infections are occurring nationwide. It was also considered that the number of cases of community infection caused by the mutant virus is increasing. Some local governments have also commented on “Let’s allow family gatherings only on New Year’s Day,” but they accepted the concerns of experts that it could be a link for the spread of infection between regions and could shake the message to refrain from family gatherings. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a critical script meeting that day, “Before vaccination, there are many risk factors such as mutant virus and the opening of school in March, and the possibility of a 4th epidemic is mentioned, so even though it is a holiday, tension cannot be relieved.” Gang-tae, the first general coordinator, said, “The current 3rd epidemic has not been reversed to the re-proliferation situation, but it is analyzed as a phase in which the decline is stagnant and the risk of re-proliferation exists.” However, the government decided that it would be difficult to restrict the operation of the non-metropolitan area from 180 to 97 this week from 180 last week, and reduced the operating hours of multi-use facilities to 10 p.m. by one hour. There are 580,000 stores, such as restaurants, cafes, gyms, billiards, and karaoke rooms, with an hourly increase in business hours. The government decided to issue a two-week group ban on the principle of non-tolerance proposed by related associations and organizations, along with a fine for violating the quarantine regulations, taking into account the fact that this measure could loosen participation in quarantine.
Some self-employed people in the metropolitan area I will protest the opening of the store against the government policy.Said. On the 7th, the National Self-Employed Emergency Countermeasure Committee for Corona 19 said, “We declare that we will disobey the quarantine guidelines that only force sacrifices,” and have decided to hold “lighting demonstrations”, picket demonstrations, and press conferences for three days from this day. Spokesman Kim Jong-min said in a phone call with “If there is no change in the position of the authorities for three days, we will enforce the operation of the farm.” Sohn Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division, Central Accident Control Headquarters, at a regular briefing on the day, said, “It is not a violation of the order to express intention through events such as lighting because it is an order to prohibit grouping. The rather cautious phase continues. If you understand that this situation is inevitable, even self-employed people in the metropolitan area will be grateful. Choi Won-seok, a professor at Korea University’s Ansan Hospital (Infectious Medicine Clinic), said, “Now that the epidemic has passed and the risk has not decreased, it is a burdensome situation for the government to step forward to ease distance. Can be successful. Even for those who suffer damage, there should be more compensation and support measures than now.” By Kim Ji-hoon and Park Soo-ji, reporters [email protected]
