[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The economy feels like it has come to a standstill.

At 12:50 PM on the 29th, on the third floor restaurant inside a large L Mart in Suwon. There were only four customers: two who had finished their meal and two who had just arrived.

An employee sighed, saying, "Since this week, foot traffic has completely stopped. This is a serious problem."

With the real economy not doing well and the spread of COVID-19 following the August 15 rally, it is interpreted that citizens are reluctant to go outside their homes.

An official also said, "I am worried that the economy will only recover once COVID-19 prevention is well managed and the number of confirmed cases decreases as soon as possible."

The sighs of self-employed business owners seem to be growing day by day.

It appears urgent to prepare measures to revive the economy after COVID-19 prevention has achieved some success.
