[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on the 20th that affiliated institutions and organizations such as the National Museum of Korea, the National Library of Korea, the National Theater of Korea, and the National Theater Company of Korea will extend their closures in accordance with the government's social distancing maintenance policy.

The relevant national cultural and artistic facilities and national art organizations include 24 museums, art galleries, and libraries, as well as 5 national performance institutions and 7 national art organizations. The timing for resuming performances at these facilities and organizations will be determined comprehensively, considering the intensity of social distancing, the government's transition to daily quarantine measures, and each institution's readiness to reopen.

Even when services resume, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism plans to implement thorough quarantine measures to prevent COVID-19 and limit the number of users. As public awareness of daily quarantine measures spreads and the daily quarantine system becomes established in everyday life, the number of users will be gradually increased, and services will be expanded step by step.

Details regarding the timing of service resumption, scope of use, and usage methods will be separately announced on each institution's website. Visitors are urged to check usage information in advance through each institution's website or inquiry phone numbers.
