[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 14th that considering the recent decline in confirmed cases, it has decided to implement Stage 1 of the Jeollanam-do social distancing reorganization plan for three weeks from 0:00 on June 14 to 24:00 on July 4.

Private gatherings are allowed up to 8 people, and meetings or events with fewer than 300 people can be held while complying with quarantine rules; however, assemblies and demonstrations are limited to fewer than 300 people.

Restrictions on operating hours for entertainment facilities, holdem pubs, dance halls, and singing practice rooms (including coin karaoke rooms) have been lifted, and gatherings of up to 4 people are allowed.

Restaurants and cafes strongly recommend limiting the time spent inside the premises to 1 hour when ordering only coffee, beverages, or desserts for groups of two or more.

Additionally, religious activities such as regular worship services are limited to 50% of the seating capacity, and those who have completed vaccination (14 days after the second dose) are allowed to eat in religious facilities and senior centers.

Deputy Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said, “Since the nationwide proportion of infections with unknown transmission routes exceeds 28%, we ask everyone to strictly follow infection prevention rules in daily life,” adding, “Active diagnostic testing and vaccination are the only shortcuts to returning to normal life as soon as possible, and as citizen participation is crucial at this time, we urge everyone to get vaccinated.”
