South Korea has imposed new restrictions on Christmas and New Year’s Eve in response to the worsening Corona virus, which will restrict gatherings of more than four people in and around the federal capital, Seoul.
South Korea’s federal government faced strong opposition to the national lockdown proposal, but the federal capital, Gyeonggi Province and Incheon city administration unexpectedly banned public gatherings from December 23, 2020 to January 3, 2021.
According to Seoul’s acting mayor, Seo Jung-hype, the current crisis cannot be overcome without reducing the number of public gatherings, especially private gatherings between different families and friends, and adopting the principle of social distance. “This is the last chance to stop the spread of the global epidemic,” he said.
The ban on gatherings will apply to indoor and outdoor ceremonies, weddings and funerals and prayer ceremonies, before a maximum of nine people were allowed to gather or attend a ceremony. This decision applies to South Korea as a whole. Half of the population.
South Korean government has instructed private hospitals to build more than 300 beds in response to an increase in Korna cases, with an allocation of 45 4.5 million for the purpose. In Korea, 926 more people became infected, bringing the total number of corona cases to 50,591.
