Geochang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will lift most social distancing measures from the 18th until further notice, following changes in government quarantine guidelines amid a stable decline in COVID-19 cases after reaching its peak.

The current restrictions on private gatherings of up to 10 people and events/assemblies of up to 299 people will be fully lifted, and operating hour limits (currently until midnight) for 13 types of facilities including entertainment venues, restaurants, cafes, singing rooms, and bathhouses will also be removed.

The ban on indoor dining at movie theaters, religious facilities, and transportation facilities will be lifted starting April 25 after a preparation period to establish safe dining measures.

Additionally, current measures such as indoor and outdoor mask-wearing, hand washing, visitation bans and restrictions on outsiders at high-risk facilities like nursing hospitals, and limits on outings and overnight stays will remain in place.

Outdoor mask-wearing will be reconsidered two weeks after this distancing relaxation, taking into account the easing of many quarantine measures.

Kim Tae-hee, Acting Mayor of Geochang-gun, stated, “Preventing infection in daily life remains important, and we urge residents to actively follow personal quarantine rules such as hand washing, ventilation, and disinfection.”
