Government announces exceptions to ban on grouping of 5 or more people

Even if you do not follow the guidelines, you will not see it as a quarantine violation.

The government announced an exception to the ban on gatherings of more than 5 people.

At this time, even if the guidelines were not followed, it was decided not to be regarded as a quarantine violation.

Sohn Young-rae, head of the social strategy team at the Central Accident Control Headquarters, announced this at a back briefing on the 25th.

The government said it would not judge meetings of five or more members in the process of campaigning as a violation of quarantine ahead of the 4·7 re-and by-election elections.

“Private meetings themselves are regulated, but due to the nature of the campaign, it is difficult to regard meeting people and greetings as meetings,” said Son Young-rae, at a back briefing on the day.

“Even if it is a campaign, it is recommended to keep a (social) distance and refrain from shaking hands by bumping your fists instead of shaking hands,” he explained.

Minister of Health and Welfare Kwon Deok-cheol, together with Justice Minister Park Beom-gye and Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Jeon-cheol, presented a speech to the public to create a safe voting environment at the Seoul Government Complex.

They said in a statement, “To prevent the spread of Corona 19 and hold a safe election, the active cooperation of the citizens is most important. I hope that candidates and election officials also minimize direct face-to-face contact and participate in social distancing during the campaign. “He said.
