Sejong Also Raises Social Distancing to Level 2... Private Gatherings Limited to 4 People

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will raise the social distancing level to Level 2.

According to the city on the 20th, Level 2 social distancing will be applied from midnight on the 22nd. Under Level 2 social distancing, private gatherings in the area will be limited to 4 people, and the limit includes those who have completed vaccination. The incentives previously granted for vaccination will no longer be applied.

However, the city explained that there will be no limit on the number of people for direct family gatherings.

Multi-use facilities such as local movie theaters, arcades, academies, reading rooms, beauty salons, and large supermarkets will not face restrictions on operating hours.

However, restaurants and cafes can only allow dining inside the premises until midnight, and from midnight onward, only takeout and delivery are permitted.

Additionally, if two or more people order coffee, beverages, or light desserts, it will be strongly recommended that their stay inside the store does not exceed one hour.

Entertainment facilities, holdem pubs, holdem game rooms, colatecs, dance halls, and karaoke rooms can operate until midnight, and assemblies, gatherings, or events with more than 100 people are prohibited.

Religious activities are allowed only within 30% of the total seating capacity (with two seats spaced apart), and various meetings, events, meals, and overnight stays are not permitted.

A city official said, “Recently in Sejong, the number of confirmed cases with unknown infection routes is increasing, and infections among workplaces and families are spreading rapidly. The city has decided to raise the social distancing level to 2 after comprehensively considering this situation.”

He added, “We may also consider raising to Level 3 depending on the future trend of COVID-19 spread.”
