The government has decided to extend the distance for two weeks from the 4th to the 17th and additional special quarantine measures during the year-end and New Year holidays. While existing distancing quarantine rules were virtually maintained, some of the special quarantine measures during the year-end and New Years were adjusted or reinforced.
According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters on the 3rd, the most striking change is the expansion of the ban on groups of five or more to non-capital areas. Even in the non-metropolitan area, reservations and visits to restaurants with more than 5 people are prohibited in the future, and tasting and tasting are prohibited in department stores and hypermarkets.
In addition, convenience facilities in apartments and cultural lectures at community centers are also suspended, and the use of accommodation facilities is restricted. In the accommodation facility, you may be asked to leave for private parties. Even in religious activities, non-face-to-face worship is a principle.
However, in some areas, restrictions have been relaxed. The level of quarantine has been adjusted so that ski resorts, ice rinks, and snow sledding areas, which are prohibited nationwide, can be operated until 9 pm on the same day. Academies in the metropolitan area, which had been banned from gatherings, also made it possible to teach indoors with no more than 9 people within the quarantine rules.
◇Distance extension change… ‘No meetings with more than 5 people’ anywhere in the country
The additional reinforcement in this extended measure is that private gatherings of five or more people are banned nationwide. Accordingly, in non-metropolitan areas other than the existing metropolitan area, reservations for more than 5 people and admission to multi-use facilities such as restaurants are prohibited.
However, if families with the same living space gather, care for children, the elderly, and the disabled is necessary, or if the family gathers due to the possibility of dying, it is recognized as an exception to the ban on meetings of five or more people.
Some areas have been adjusted for each facility. Until now, screen golf was restricted to indoors only, but it was decided to include outdoor screen golf courses located outdoors in the group ban. Mart and department stores decided to continue applying measures that ban tastings and tastings during the year-end and New Year holidays.
Accommodation facilities limit reservations to within 2/3 of the number of rooms, and do not exceed the number of rooms per room. In addition, the ban on party events organized by accommodation facilities applied during the year-end and New Year holidays, or the move-out measures when private parties in the room are detected are also maintained.
In some cases, operational restrictions are more relaxed than before. Winter sports facilities, such as ski resorts, ice rinks, and snow sledding areas, which are prohibited by special quarantine during the year-end and New Year, will be changed to operate from the 4th to 9pm.
As long as the quarantine rules are observed when using the facility, the activity becomes possible. To this end, the capacity for ski resorts is limited to 1/3, and only equipment rental and changing rooms are permitted. Shuttle bus service between other areas and ski resorts will be suspended to ease the density.
In addition, academies and classrooms will switch from the existing group ban to conditional operation. School facilities in the relevant field can be operated until 9 p.m. △If the number of teachers is less than 9 at the same time, △Teaching for college entrance examinations in the 2021 school year △For vocational competency development training courses such as a contract from the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
◇ Restriction of operation of multi-use facilities for two more weeks… ‘Shutdown’ after 9 pm nationwide
Excluding ski resorts, academies, and training centers where operational restrictions have been relaxed, other multi-use facilities are subject to the existing distancing measures. Indoor sports facilities such as gyms are still prohibited from gathering. In the case of ski resorts, academies and classrooms, additional details were adjusted according to individual risks and needs.
Young-rae Son, head of the Strategic Planning Division, Central Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said, “The easing of the restrictions on the operation of ski resorts allows the operation rather than the collective ban of the entire facility, but the quarantine regulations to reduce the risk of infection have been reinforced and applied.” “I want to induce the use of skiing, which is mainly for travel.”
In addition, “In consideration of the role of the academy that functions as a caring for the winter vacation, if registered as an academy or a training center, all 9 students were operated.” “All parents or the academy’s operators observe the quarantine rules and control infection. , I ask you once again to thoroughly work on quarantine management.”
The wedding hall is limited to less than 50 people in each restaurant. The number of funerals is the same, with less than 50 people. As for the public bath, the operation of sauna, steam room, and steaming facilities and consumption of indoor food is prohibited.
Movie theaters and PC cafes, game rooms and multi-rooms, reading rooms and study cafes, department stores and large marts, and general retail sectors of 300 sqm or more are also maintained until 9 p.m. Existing quarantine rules, such as fever test, raising seats, and prohibiting food intake, are also valid.
In the case of non-metropolitan areas, measures to suspend the operation of convenience facilities in apartments, which were not included in the past, and programs such as cultural and educational lectures in community centers, will be added. Even in religious activities, at the level of prohibiting meetings and meals, non-face-to-face worship is recommended as a rule.
Kwon Deok-cheol, 1st Vice President of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said, “This measure, which takes effect from January 4th, cannot ease quarantine measures on its own by local governments.” There is only one goal.”
