Gimhae-si Extends Social Distancing Level 2 for One Week ... Until the 10th View original image

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 3rd that it will extend social distancing Level 2 for one week.


Accordingly, the Level 2 measures will continue from 0:00 on the 4th to 24:00 on the 10th.


According to the Gyeongsangnam-do social distancing adjustment criteria, although the city's weekly average number of confirmed cases does not meet the Level 2 standard, this measure is taken due to the continued small-scale infections in the region, such as infections at bathhouses.


Also, since Busan, Ulsan, and Yangsan, which share the same living area, are implementing Level 2 social distancing, concerns about the balloon effect have increased, making it inevitable to extend Level 2 to quickly block the spread of infection.


With the extension of social distancing Level 2, strengthened quarantine measures such as banning private gatherings of five or more people, limiting meetings and events to fewer than 100 people, restricting operating hours from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day for five types of entertainment facilities including nightclubs, karaoke bars, emotional pubs, and colatecs, singing rooms, door-to-door sales and direct sales promotion centers, party rooms, and indoor sports facilities, and allowing only takeout and delivery at restaurants and cafes from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day will be maintained for one week.



Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, “The spread of COVID-19 in Gyeongnam has not subsided, and small-scale infections among family and acquaintances continue. Especially in May, various anniversaries and large-scale religious events are scheduled, raising the sense of crisis. We ask for your understanding that maintaining this level is an inevitable measure to overcome COVID-19 and hasten the return to daily life, and we hope all citizens actively comply with quarantine rules.”
