Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters for Corona 19 Response at the Government Complex in Seoul on the morning of the 13th, “The distance between the metropolitan area for two weeks from the day after tomorrow (15th) is step 2, and the other areas are step 1.5. Each of them will be eased.” Entertainment facilities across the country will be open until 10 pm on the condition that they comply with the core quarantine rules.”
Currently, restaurants, cafes, and gyms in the metropolitan area are limited to 9:00 pm. Five types of entertainment facilities, such as an entertainment bar, Danran bar, emotional bar, collage, and hunting pot tea, and’Hold’em Pub’ (a type of bar where you can enjoy card games while drinking alcohol) are banned from gathering. With this measure, the business hours of restaurants in the metropolitan area have been increased by one hour until 10:00 p.m., and entertainment facilities that are banned from gathering can be opened until 10:00 p.m.
Prime Minister Chung added, “Each local government can raise the distance level in consideration of regional epidemic conditions,” and added, “Considering that the third epidemic is still alive, we will keep the’prohibition of meetings with more than 5 people’.” . The government is scheduled to announce specific details related to the quarantine regulations immediately after the main script meeting.
Prime Minister Chung said, “I had a lot of effort to find a balance between quarantine and public welfare” regarding this measure. Prime Minister Chung explained, “There are 3~400 confirmed cases a day, so it is a situation that we can never feel relieved.” In particular, he emphasized, “We will ease the business restrictions for small business owners and self-employed persons who have cooperated with quarantine even in the pain of cutting bones.”
Earlier, President Moon Jae-in also said in a video call with the public on the 11th, “I will try to alleviate the difficulties of self-employed people,” and “Wouldn’t it be possible to adjust the business hours more flexibly after the Lunar New Year holidays”.
However, even with this easing measure, complaints from self-employed people who are facing livelihoods still remain. This is because the Corona 19 damage is serious, but increasing the business limit by one hour is not very helpful. On the 16th, the self-employed community plans to hold a meeting with the main script and the Euljiro Committee of the Democratic Party and deliver an official position on future quarantine regulations.
Kim Jong-min, executive member of the National Self-Employed Emergency Response Committee in response to Corona 19, said in a call on the 13th, “It is fortunate that the distance from the metropolitan area has been lowered from step 2.5 to step 2”. It is difficult to accept the change in the quarantine guidelines of the method.”
Commissioner Kim said, “It was not an hour increase according to scientific grounds or cause-and-effect relations, but rather conceded to the request for’living,’” said Kim. “We must go in a way to remove business hours restrictions while strengthening quarantine rules depending on the industry in the future. Insisted.
