[Breaking] One-Week Special Quarantine Instead of Strengthening Social Distancing... "Gathering Ban Inevitable if Cases Increase"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] The government stated that if the spread of COVID-19 intensifies, it may impose restrictions on the operation of multi-use facilities and bans on gatherings.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (CDSCH) mentioned at a regular briefing on the 25th, "Currently, under social distancing, there is no rapid increase in the number of patients, but the outbreak is showing a continuous and gradual upward trend."

The CDSCH added, "While the medical system has capacity, if the number of patients continues to rise, there is a risk of rapid spread. In such cases, strengthening quarantine measures such as operating hour restrictions and gathering bans, which make it difficult for the common economy, will be inevitable."

The CDSCH emphasized, "We will designate the week from the 26th to the 2nd of next month, one week before adjusting the distancing level, as a 'Special Quarantine Management Week' to try to reverse the upward trend."
