[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Pohang City will adjust and implement social distancing rules starting from the 5th.

Pohang City announced that, considering the recent difficulties in the livelihood economy and following the central government's decision that adjustments to the existing social distancing rules are necessary, the adjusted rules will be applied from this day until the 20th.

First, the operating hours for ▲ Group 1 entertainment facilities, ▲ Group 2 restaurants, cafes, singing rooms, bathhouses, indoor sports facilities, and ▲ Group 3 PC rooms, movie theaters, multi-rooms, massage and therapy centers will be adjusted to 11 PM.

Regular religious activities such as regular worship services, Mass, Buddhist ceremonies, prayer meetings, and memorial services will be adjusted to within 70% of the venue capacity regardless of vaccination status.

Other measures, such as limiting private gatherings to 6 people and restricting events and assemblies to 299 people (including religious events, weddings, first birthday parties, commemorations, lectures, etc.), will remain as currently enforced.

In Pohang City, considering citizens' confusion due to recent changes in social distancing rules, the temporary suspension of the vaccine pass, and changes in quarantine systems, the city plans to promptly provide guidance for each facility.
