〈Photo = Yonhap News〉The government is extending the’social distancing’ action, which ends on the 14th of this coming Sunday, for another two weeks.
Currently, stage 2 is being applied for metropolitan areas and stage 1.5 for non-metropolitan areas.
We also keep the’Prohibition of private gatherings with more than 5 people’.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters in the morning of the 12th, “I know that people are feeling fatigued by long-lasting distances. Said.
He emphasized, “As the number of confirmed cases per day has been stagnant at 300~400 for eight consecutive weeks, if you step back now, the quarantine dams that have been built up can collapse at once.”
In the metropolitan area where the infection situation is severe, it has been decided to strengthen quarantine measures.
In multi-use facilities used by many people, the quarantine situation is intensively checked.
Workplaces with a large concentration of foreign workers conduct preemptive diagnostic tests.
However, we plan to supplement some of the quarantine measures, which were often requested for improvement at the site, to suit reality.
