[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won mentioned the news of a gym owner who made an extreme choice and proposed, "Let's establish new quarantine standards for 'capacity per area' uniformly regardless of industry and time."

On the 4th, former lawmaker Na said on Facebook, "We need to establish a sustainable quarantine model."

He raised his voice for the need to change quarantine standards, saying, "It is no longer acceptable that cafes are closed while people flock to the adjacent brunch cafes," and "There is an outcry asking why it is possible to eat without masks but not possible to exercise while properly wearing masks."

Former lawmaker Na cited the example of Taekwondo dojangs and small academies allowing up to nine students per class at the same time, emphasizing, "Such standards can be sufficiently applied to other industries as well."

He said, "There is a need to establish new standards uniformly based on 'capacity per area' regardless of industry or time," and added, "Even now, we must create a sustainable quarantine model and ease the economic activities of our people until vaccination and herd immunity are achieved."
