[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 12th that it conducted education for senior officials on the adjusted quarantine measures in accordance with the government's policy to adjust social distancing to level 1 while strengthening quarantine management for high-risk multi-use facilities.

The government decided to adjust social distancing to level 1 considering the decreasing trend of COVID-19 patients, fatigue, and stabilization of the medical system capacity, but to strengthen quarantine management for high-risk multi-use facilities.

Considering the slow calming of infection spread in the metropolitan area, some level 2 measures such as expanding mandatory quarantine facilities will be partially maintained, and the adjusted quarantine measures were implemented from midnight on the same day.

The main contents of social distancing adjustment outside the metropolitan area are ▲ gatherings, meetings, and events are allowed, but some large-scale events (100 or more people) are limited to one person per 4㎡ of facility area ▲ mandatory mask-wearing in high-risk multi-use facilities, buses, subways, and assemblies, with fines imposed for violations (starting from the 13th of next month) ▲ sports events allow spectators up to 30% of capacity.

Also, ▲ operation of national and public facilities is allowed with personnel limits (up to 50%) ▲ among high-risk facilities, direct sales promotion centers such as door-to-door sales are prohibited from gathering, and 10 types of facilities (entertainment bars, colatecs, karaoke bars, emotional bars, hunting pubs, singing practice rooms, indoor standing concert halls, indoor intense GX group exercises, large academies with over 300 people, buffets) are required to follow quarantine rules.

Additionally, ▲ other multi-use facilities are recommended to follow daily life social distancing rules ▲ social welfare facilities and daycare centers can operate ▲ public institutions and private companies are encouraged to minimize work density through flexible and remote work.

Governor Kim Junsung said, “Although social distancing is adjusted to level 1 outside the metropolitan area and quarantine measures are implemented, since many COVID-19 confirmed cases still occur nationwide including the metropolitan area, the county’s quarantine measures must not be relaxed,” and added, “We ask residents to follow quarantine rules when national and public facilities reopen and when holding gatherings, meetings, and events.”
