Prime Minister Jeong Sye-kyun: "Social Distancing Level 1 from the 12th"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Onyu] Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun announced on the 11th that "the nationwide social distancing level for COVID-19 prevention will be adjusted from the current Level 2 to Level 1 starting from the 12th."

However, in the Seoul metropolitan area where sporadic infections continue, necessary measures under the Level 2 quarantine guidelines will be maintained. Additionally, enhanced quarantine measures will be enforced in some vulnerable sectors such as door-to-door sales.

Instead of easing the nationwide social distancing level, this measure aims to strengthen quarantine levels in specific regions and sectors to focus efforts on preventing the spread of COVID-19 through selective and concentrated measures.
