Corona 19 social distancing and rules are raised the possibility of easing before the Lunar New Year holiday. The main reason is the dissatisfaction with the fact that the fatigue caused by distancing is significant, and direct family members cannot gather more than 5 people.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters in response to Corona 19 on the 1st, “If there is a belief that the situation has entered a solid stability after watching the situation this week, we will closely review the easing of additional quarantine measures even before the Lunar New Year holiday.”
From the 1st to the 14th, the government has decided to keep the existing social distancing measures in the 2nd stage of the non-capital area and 2.5 stage in the metropolitan area, and the ban on private gatherings of 5 or more people. However, after watching the situation for a week, it was revealed that it was possible to ease measures related to livelihoods and banning gatherings before standing.
For small business owners and small business owners, the Lunar New Year holiday is a’big point’, so if it remains, the economic damage will inevitably be significant. In addition, there are complaints that there is an overly strict response because no more than five immediate family members can gather unless they live in one address during the holidays. However, quarantine experts do not highly regard the possibility of easing the quarantine rules before the Lunar New Year. Due to seasonal factors, it is difficult to achieve a certain stability of Corona 19, and due to the nature of holidays where there are many movements between regions, there is a need to strengthen the quarantine rules.
Meanwhile, Busan City announced that 14 corona19 confirmed cases were added as of the afternoon of the 1st, and the cumulative number of patients was 2774. There were 9 additional confirmed cases in Gyeongnam (3 in Yangsan, 2 in each of Sacheon and Geoje, and 1 in each of Jinju and Gimhae), and there were no in Ulsan.
