From today until 10:00 pm in the metropolitan area… ‘5 direct’s allowed

Grandparent-parent-child allowed… Meeting between siblings is prohibited
New action, up to 28 days… Readjust the two-week situation


[앵커]

The high-intensity social distancing that has been continuing for more than two months due to the third corona19 pandemic will be a little more relaxed starting today (15th). The metropolitan area goes down step by step, and the non-metropolitan area goes down step by step. As a result, the business hours limit for restaurants, cafes, karaoke rooms, and indoor sports facilities in metropolitan areas such as Seoul following the non-metropolitan area a week ago will be delayed by an hour from 9 pm to 10 pm. Business hours for movie theaters, PC rooms, reading rooms, and large marts are completely lifted nationwide.

Even during the Lunar New Year holidays, measures that should not be met with more than 5 people are maintained, but in the case of immediate family members, it is also permitted. This will take effect over the next two weeks. First of all, reporter Kang Beo-deul will explain what is new and what is still not possible.

The opening hours of cafes, restaurants, and karaoke bars in the metropolitan area are extended from 9 pm to 10 pm, and in non-metropolitan areas, they can be open without time restrictions.

Entertainment facilities such as Danran Izakaya and Collatec, which have been closed for three months, are also open until 10pm.

However, moving or dancing is prohibited.

Considering the damages of self-employed people, most businesses have decided to allow business, but quarantine rules such as restrictions on the number of people per area must be observed.

Religious facilities were limited to gatherings only during regular meetings.

Up to 100 people in the metropolitan area and 500 people in the non-metropolitan area can attend weddings or funerals.

We have decided to keep’private gatherings for more than 5 people’, but with some exceptions.

The dissatisfaction that exploded before and after the Lunar New Year’s Eve decided to allow family members who do not live together to gather at home or in a restaurant, if they are of direct origin.

However, there are complaints about’the standard is ambiguous’ in the explanation that’there is an exception to seeing for a moment’ or’siblings cannot gather together without parents’.

This action will be applied until 12:00 pm on the 28th first.

In the meantime, if the infectious disease situation worsens, the government urged the government to stop being alert, saying that measures could be reinforced.
