It is expected that the government will finalize the social distancing reorganization plan next week as soon as possible.

Sohn Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division, Central Accident Control Headquarters (heavy water version), said at an online back briefing on the 9th, “Because there are industry-specific characteristics, we are discussing what risks will be effective to block according to the step-by-step rules for distancing, and we are refining a proposal for quarantine regulations with each other.” Said.

“We made such a draft this week and guided it to related associations through relevant ministries, and after hearing the final opinion, I think it will be possible to confirm it by next week.”

The government has announced a draft reorganization plan to reduce the current 5 steps to 4 steps and limit the amount of banning private gatherings to less than 3 to 9 people step by step.

Specific quarantine rules by industry and facility are currently being discussed with related associations, organizations, and related ministries. Mr. Son said, “Before the draft was announced at the public hearing, we have been discussing with about 50 related associations and organizations.” There is a part where this goes in. This part is also being tuned while listening to the opinions of the industry.”

For example, in the case of a singing practice center, it is one business type in a large category, but in detail, as there are different characteristics depending on the type, such as general karaoke and coin karaoke, we review the quarantine rules suitable for the site. As indoor sports facilities also have different exercise intensity and risk of infection, each facility is discussing ways to separate quarantine rules according to detailed industries and apply differential quarantine measures for each stage, Son said.

It has not been decided when the distance reorganization plan will be implemented. Regarding the timing of applying the new distance system, Tae-ho Yoon, head of the quarantine prevention team, said, “The biggest concern is how to do a soft landing between the current distance and the reorganized stage,” he said. It’s something you need to worry about more,” he said.

“The current vaccination is in its infancy, and the situation in which vaccination is started for high-risk groups is also combined, so I am looking at the point of reorganization by looking at this part overall.”
