[Photo] Private Gatherings Limited to 6 People, Business Hours Until 9 PM... Social Distancing Extended for 3 Weeks

The government will implement social distancing measures for three weeks from the 17th of this month to the 6th of next month, easing the private gathering limit from the current 4 people to 6 people. However, the operating hours restriction for restaurants and cafes, limited to 9 PM, will remain in place. Although the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant continues, the private gathering limit has been relaxed considering the opposition from self-employed business owners.
