[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Asan City in Chungnam announced on the 20th that it will strengthen the current social distancing from level 1.5 to level 1.5 plus alpha (+α).

This increase in distancing measures is a response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases at a local public bathhouse, where the cumulative number of confirmed cases has risen to 35.

Accordingly, various gatherings and events can be held with fewer than 100 people. Additionally, sports viewing is limited to 10% of total capacity, national and public facilities to 30%, and religious facilities to 20%. In particular, the usage time for bathhouse businesses, which have been problematic, is restricted to within one hour.

However, to minimize the impact on the local economy, social distancing at level 1.5 will be maintained for multi-use facilities, wedding and funeral halls, door-to-door sales, and other economic activities.
