[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 3rd that it has been implementing the first phase of social distancing reform since the 1st, in accordance with the gradual transition to daily life recovery.

This reform aims to promote a gradual return to normal life by easing and lifting quarantine measures centered on fully vaccinated individuals, moving away from the previous universal regulations aimed at suppressing confirmed cases.

The changes include allowing private gatherings of up to 12 people regardless of vaccination status, but for restaurants and cafes, unvaccinated individuals are limited to a maximum of 4 people. For events and assemblies, up to 99 people are allowed regardless of vaccination status, and up to 499 people if composed of fully vaccinated individuals.

Operating hours restrictions for multi-use facilities have been lifted; however, operating hours for five types of entertainment facilities, colatecs, and dance halls are restricted from midnight to 5 a.m. the following day.

Additionally, some high-risk facilities require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for entry. These facilities include ▲five types of entertainment facilities ▲karaoke (coin) practice rooms ▲indoor sports facilities ▲bathhouses ▲bicycle racing, motorcycle racing, horse racing/casinos (for domestic residents), where these measures are mandatory.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “As the government’s social distancing reform plan relaxes quarantine rules, all residents should take responsibility and strictly adhere to the quarantine guidelines to recover daily life.”
