'Confirmed Cases Increasing'... Daejeon Maintains Social Distancing at Level 1.5

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 30th that it will maintain social distancing level 1.5 within the city for three weeks until the 23rd of next month.

The city explained that, in celebration of Family Month in May, the focus will be on voluntary compliance with quarantine rules rather than raising the distancing level.

During the maintenance period of social distancing level 1.5, private gatherings of five or more people are prohibited in the region. However, immediate family members can gather up to eight people.

Along with maintaining social distancing level 1.5, the city plans to strengthen promotion and encourage associations to conduct voluntary inspections of quarantine rules at businesses and facilities, including ▲keeping visitor logs (QR code or Safe Call) ▲ventilating three times a day ▲disinfecting at least once a day.

Seo Cheol-mo, Deputy Mayor of Daejeon, said, “May is Family Month, and the greatest gift to family is not getting infected with COVID-19,” adding, “For the safety of yourself and your family, I ask that you share your hearts through video calls and heartfelt gifts.”

Meanwhile, a total of 31 confirmed cases were reported in Daejeon the day before. Among them, 18 were cluster infections within the same facility, including 17 residents and 1 staff member of a nursing home located in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon.
