Suncheon City Adjusts Social Distancing to Level 1 Starting Today

Strengthening Quarantine Management of High-Risk Facilities and Compliance with Quarantine Rules as a Prerequisite

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) has been adjusted to social distancing level 1 starting today.

Accordingly, most facilities such as welfare centers, senior citizen centers, community child centers, and daycare centers will resume operations on the condition of complying with quarantine rules.

For gatherings, meetings, and events, the limit on the number of people is lifted, but for five types of events where large crowds temporarily gather?exhibitions, fairs, festivals, concerts, and academic events?the number of people is limited to one person per 4㎡ of facility area.

For 10 types of high-risk multi-use facilities, the ban on gatherings is lifted, but direct sales promotion centers such as door-to-door sales will maintain the current ban on gatherings. Five types of facilities including clubs, entertainment bars, danran bars, karaoke bars, emotional pubs, and hunting pubs must limit the number of people to one per 4㎡ of area and comply with strengthened quarantine rules such as mandatory one-hour breaks after three hours of operation.

Religious facilities such as churches are allowed to hold in-person worship services on the condition of complying with quarantine rules, following local government decisions, but providing meals is prohibited.

Schools at all levels will ease density from one-third to two-thirds starting the 19th, and adjustments can be made according to local and school conditions, so it is expected that in-person classes will expand.

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, “Although social distancing is adjusted to level 1 according to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters decision, considering that the incubation period has not passed during the Hangul Day holiday and the floating population greatly increases during the autumn outing season, we ask everyone to strictly comply with quarantine rules such as wearing masks and preventing the 3Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, close-contact settings).”
