However, cafes will immediately switch to takeout and delivery only if confirmed cases occur in the region.
Wedding halls, funeral halls, various meetings and events are limited to fewer than 100 people, and eating is prohibited in bathhouses, movie theaters and performance halls, academies, private tutoring centers, vocational training institutions, and PC rooms.
Additionally, mask-wearing is mandatory in all indoor areas and outdoor places where high-risk activities occur, such as assembly and protest sites and sports stadiums.
School attendance is allowed up to two-thirds capacity with the principle of one-third density and flexible academic operations. Religious activities are limited to 50% of seating capacity for regular worship services, and gatherings and meals hosted by religious activities are prohibited.
