[사회]The first day of easing distancing… self-employed people’half-color’ and concerns about re-proliferation

[앵커]

From today (15th), social distancing is being implemented.

There are places where the business hours are delayed or have disappeared altogether.

Self-employed people are generally welcoming, but there are concerns about the re-spread of infection.

I will connect reporters. Reporter Kim Kyung-soo!

This is the first day to ease distancing. Please tell us how the atmosphere is there.

[기자]

Unlike in the morning, there are more people coming and going.

You can also see the shops opening the door and preparing to greet customers.

Cafés and restaurants that have been open only until 9 p.m. can be opened for an hour from today.

Indoor sports facilities such as gyms and singing practice areas can also be operated until 10pm.

As the distance between the metropolitan area has been reduced to two, the operating time limit has disappeared for multi-use facilities such as movie theaters, PC cafes, academies, and large marts.

There are 480,000 places in the metropolitan area where the business hours limit disappears.

For weddings and funerals, where fewer than 50 people have been gathered so far, the number of attendance is increased to less than 100.

In the past, religious activities were only available to those within 10% of the total number of seats, but starting today, up to 20% of the participants can participate.

In the case of regions outside the metropolitan area, the distance-distance step has been reduced to 1.5 steps, and 520,000 places such as restaurants, cafes, singing practice centers, and indoor sports facilities will not be subject to business hours.

In addition, in non-metropolitan areas, up to 500 people can attend weddings or funerals.

The distancing steps have been eased, but the ban on private gatherings of more than 5 people nationwide remains.

However, immediate family members can now gather even if they live in different places.

What is the reaction of self-employed people who have complained about the damage caused by the distance?

[기자]

First of all, there are a lot of reactions such as’I sighed’ and’I have a little open breath’.

However, there is a difference in temperature for each industry.

Some places are open overnight, but some places still have hours of operation, even if they are delayed a bit.

First of all, there is an expectation for a recovery in sales that has decreased so far in PC cafes, movie theaters, and academies, where the operating time limit is completely disappearing.

In addition, some indoor sports industries also welcome the relaxed guidelines.

However, there are some self-employed people who are still vague.

A restaurant official in the metropolitan area responded that it was not enough to delay the business hours limit from 9pm to 10pm, mainly with group customers coming after work hours.

In addition, he added that the situation is unlikely to change significantly as there is still a ban on meetings with more than 5 people.

Although the distancing measures have been mitigated in consideration of the damages of self-employed people, there are also many demands for further consideration of the characteristics of each industry.

However, the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area is not declining, and since the Lunar New Year holiday is just over, we do not know what will happen in the future.

It is important for both self-employed and users to strictly follow the quarantine regulations to prevent the situation from raising the distance again due to the re-proliferation of Corona 19.

So far, I’ve told you on the streets of Hongdae, Seoul
