From tomorrow to the metropolitan area restaurant-cafe 10:00 p.m… Exception from the ban on 5 direct family members

From the 15th, restaurants and cafes in the metropolitan area will be able to eat food in the store until 10 pm. In the meantime, it was possible to open one more hour of business, which was only available until 9 pm.

In addition, in the non-metropolitan area, where the business time limit was eased to 10 pm from the 8th, it can be operated without time limit.

According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters on the 14th, “social distancing” for the prevention of novel coronavirus infections (Corona 19) is one step from step 2.5 to step 2 in the metropolitan area and step 2 to step 1.5 in the non-metropolitan area. It decreases gradually, and measures to restrict business hours of multi-use facilities are lifted or relaxed.

This is a measure that takes into account the national fatigue caused by the high-intensity distancing that lasted for two months and the extreme economic damage of self-employed and small business owners.

◇ Phase 2 of the metropolitan area, 480,000 facility opening hours limit lifted Restaurant and cafe open until 10:00 p.m.

In the metropolitan area where distance distancing is eased in two stages, the restrictions on business hours for multi-use facilities such as movie theaters, PC rooms, game rooms, amusement parks, academies, reading rooms, large marts, and beauty salons are completely released.

There are about 480,000 facilities in the metropolitan area whose business hours are lifted.

However, the current policy of banning the operation of sauna and steam facilities remains the same while allowing the operation of the bathhouse business where group infection has continued since October last year.

The business hours limit for restaurants and cafes is extended by 1 hour from 9 pm to 10 pm, and only packaging and delivery are possible after that.

In addition, the opening hours of the door-to-door sales promotion hall, singing practice hall, indoor standing performance hall, indoor sports facility, academy classroom, and party room will also increase to 10 pm.

The number of weddings and funerals is limited to less than 100 people. In the current stage 2.5, only 50 people can gather.

Sports venues can receive spectators up to 10% of the capacity.

When conducting low-risk religious activities such as regular worship, worship, and mass, the number of seats that can be accommodated increases to within 20% of the total number of seats (less than 10% for the 2.5th level).

◇ Step 1.5 in the non-metropolitan area, lifted the operating hours limit for 520,000 facilities including restaurants and cafes

In the non-metropolitan area, which is lowered to 1.5 steps, restrictions on business hours for restaurants and cafes are also lifted. In addition, about 520,000 multi-use facilities, including singing practice rooms, indoor standing performance halls, indoor sports facilities, and party rooms, will not be subject to business hours.

However, the door-to-door sales promotion hall cannot be operated after 10 pm.

Looking at the number of restrictions, etc., the number of people in the singing practice center and indoor sports facility is limited to 1 per 4㎡ (about 1.2 pyeong), and eating is prohibited.

Food intake is also restricted in bathrooms.

For assemblies, demonstrations, large-scale concerts, festivals, and academic events, the number of people is limited to less than 100, but in the case of exhibitions, exhibitions, and international conferences, this standard does not apply and the number of people is limited to one per 4㎡ of facility area.

The capacity for wedding and funeral halls is also limited to one person per 4㎡. If the number of participants exceeds 500, they must report and consult with the local government.

Meanwhile, 5 types of entertainment facilities nationwide, including entertainment pubs, danran pubs, sensation pubs, collages, and hunting pot tea, and’Hold’em Pub’ (a pub where you can play card games while drinking alcohol) are also open until 10 p.m. can do. Instead, the capacity is limited to one per 8㎡ (about 2.4 pyeong) of the facility area.

◇ Keep banning meetings with more than 5 people… Exceptions to immediate family members

The ban on private gatherings of five or more people, which is evaluated as contributing to alleviating the’third pandemic’ of Corona 19, will be maintained for the time being.

However, direct family members are not subject to the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people, even if they live in different places.

Direct family members include grandparents, maternal grandparents, parents, sons and daughters-in-law, daughters and son-in-laws, grandchildren, and granddaughters, and do not include brothers and sisters.

Meanwhile, the government decided to strengthen penalties for facilities that violate the quarantine regulations.

Associations and organizations related to industries whose operating hours are extended or the group ban is lifted have decided to check and monitor their own compliance with quarantine regulations.

In particular, the government decided to implement the’One Strike Out’ system, in which an administrative order to prohibit collective bans for two weeks is imposed, apart from imposing a fine for any violation of the quarantine regulations.

This distance adjustment plan will be applied until 12:00 pm on the 28th.
