[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Koo Yoon-cheol, Minister for Government Policy Coordination, said on the 1st, "In November, we will extend business hours and lift capacity restrictions."

Minister Koo made this statement while attending the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee audit, saying, "We will do our best to help small business owners and self-employed individuals recover quickly."

In response to People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Joo-kyung's criticism, "On what basis do you separate day and night to restrict business hours without time-specific statistics?" he explained, "It is not that infections do not occur in the evening, but the intention is to reduce activities as much as possible during evening hours."

Minister Koo also added, "We share the same goal of reducing confirmed cases in a short period and easing quarantine measures so that small business owners and self-employed individuals can operate well," and "The government has strengthened quarantine measures and reduced mobility to restore daily life in a short time."
