On the 6th, the government is planning to decide whether to ease the current “social distance” stage and quarantine rules for the prevention of novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
Sohn Young-rae, head of the social strategy team at the Central Accident Recovery Headquarters (heavy script), said at the Corona 19 regular briefing on the 5th, “Tomorrow, at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Complete Script) meeting, we will fully discuss the distance and some quarantine rules and announce the results. “He said.
He said, “There are many risk factors and points to consider in relation to the COVID-19 quarantine, and the government is also considering it very much.”
On the 31st of last month, the government announced that it would extend the current distancing stage (the 2.5th stage in the metropolitan area, the 2nd stage in the non-metropolitan area) and the ban on private gatherings of five or more people nationwide by two weeks until the 14th, taking into account the opposition of self-employed people a week later. It announced that it would re-evaluate the situation and review whether some of the rules were relaxed.
Accordingly, some predicted that the issue of easing the’restriction on operations after 9 PM’ measures will be discussed. In this regard, Jung Soo-bon, head of quarantine prevention chief Yun Tae-ho, mentioned in a recent briefing, “We plan to evaluate the situation this week (Corona 19 patient) and see some of the areas that have been taken too strict measures that can be mitigated.”
The 2.5th stage of the metropolitan area and the second stage of the non-metropolitan area, which took effect in December last year, banned private meetings with more than 5 people, and banned business operations after 9pm. As national fatigue is increasing, mainly among self-employed people, there are high expectations for easing quarantine guidelines.
