[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Regulations on high-risk facilities and religious facilities for the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the Daejeon area will be partially eased starting from the 14th.

The Daejeon city government announced on the 12th that from the 14th of this month, the ban on gatherings at nine types of facilities, including karaoke rooms, entertainment bars, and indoor sports facilities, excluding door-to-door sales which are the cause of cluster infections, will be relaxed to allow operations until 1 a.m.

However, to use these facilities, it is mandatory to comply with quarantine rules such as electronic entry log registration, wearing masks, and limiting the number of users per area. Additionally, entry to these facilities between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. remains prohibited.

From Sunday the 13th, the ban on in-person gatherings at religious facilities will also be partially eased. Regular in-person worship services with fewer than 50 participants will be allowed under the conditions of compliance with quarantine rules and social distancing.

Other small group activities such as retreats, revival meetings, and group meals remain prohibited as before.
