From
February 19th, the government decided to extend the business hours limit for
restaurants and cafes from 9 pm to 10 pm by one hour.
This
policy change came amid 109,831 confirmed cases per day in Korea as of 00:00 on
February 18 for the first time since the Corona 19 incident due to the Omicron
mutation pandemic.
Prime
Minister Kim Bu-gyeom announced on the 18th at a meeting of the Central
Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters presided over at the
government complex in Seoul, "The business hours limit, which had the
greatest demand for improvement at the workplace, will be adjusted from 9:00
p.m. to 10:00 p.m."
Instead,
the limit of the number of private gatherings was maintained at 'up to 6
people'. This distance adjustment plan will be applied for about three weeks
from February 19th to March 13th.
Initially,
a plan to ease the restrictions to '8 people, 10 o'clock' was strongly
discussed, but in consideration of the recent surge in the epidemic, the
government kept the limit of private gatherings at 6 people, but extended the
business hours only to 10 pm for one hour. In consideration of the presidential
election, the period of application of the new distance was set until March 13,
three weeks later.
Prime
Minister Kim Bu-gyeom said, “According to experts, the corona virus is expected
to peak around the end of February to mid-March. When it is confirmed that the
spread has passed the peak, Korea, like other countries, will ease distances in
earnest so that people can return to their precious daily lives’, he said.
The
youth quarantine pass, which was planned to be applied from March 1, has been
delayed by one month and will be implemented from April 1.
