Daegu City Raises Social Distancing to Level 2... Restaurants, Cafes, and Singing Rooms Restricted Until 11 PM

From the 15th to the 25th

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] From the 15th to the 25th, social distancing measures for COVID-19 in the Daegu area will be elevated from the current Level 1 to Level 2.

This measure comes in response to a sharp increase in the average number of confirmed cases over the past week and three days, which were 21 and 31.3 respectively.

On the 13th, Daegu City decided this following the results of the General Quarantine Countermeasures Team meeting, announcing that the strengthened Level 2 will be applied mainly to entertainment facilities and general restaurants that primarily serve alcoholic beverages, which are the main causes of the increase in confirmed cases.

Accordingly, private gatherings will be allowed up to 8 people, but gatherings and events of 100 or more people are basically prohibited. Even those who have completed vaccination will be counted in the number of participants for gatherings, events, and assemblies during this period, given the severe quarantine situation.

Additionally, considering the recent trend of cluster infections, entertainment facilities, colatecs, dance halls, restaurants, cafes, and karaoke rooms will have their operating hours restricted until 11 PM. For restaurants and cafes, only delivery and takeout will be allowed from 11 PM until 5 AM the next day.

Wedding halls and funeral halls can accommodate up to 100 attendees. Indoor sports stadiums will be limited to 30% of their capacity, and outdoor stadiums to 50%. Furthermore, religious facilities will be restricted to 30% capacity, with gatherings, meals, and overnight stays prohibited.
