The ban on private gatherings of more than 5 people is extended for another 2 weeks, but in this case, it can gather up to 8 people.
First of all, up to 8 people are allowed for a meeting with the prospective bridegroom, the bride, and the family of both families.
The immediate family could still gather more than 5 people, but this time it was limited to 8 people.
Up to 8 people are subject to exceptions even when they are accompanied by preschool children under the age of 6, but the maximum number of people excluding infants and toddlers is up to 4 people.
It is okay to have 4 guardians and 3 infants in the same space, but if there is one more guardian, it is a violation of the quarantine rules even if the total number does not exceed 8.
It is also a violation because there are more than 8 guardians and 6 infants.
The first birthday party was not allowed to gather more than 5 people, but if the first birthday party is held at a specialty store, there is a limit on the number of people to stay away, such as a wedding or funeral.
Up to 99 people in the metropolitan area, which is the second stage of distance, and one person per 4㎡, in the non-metropolitan area, which is the 1.5 stage, can attend the first birthday party.
At this time, exceptions apply even if there are more than 5 people riding on a means of transportation such as a bus.
The business hours limit for restaurants and cafes in the metropolitan area, which is until 10 pm, lasts for two more weeks, and the restrictions on business after 10 pm for entertainment facilities that have been applied across the country are only lifted in non-metropolitan areas.
In the metropolitan area, public baths are limited to 10:00 p.m., but saunas and steam facilities are allowed to open until this time.
