With Corona is implemented for 4 weeks and undergoes an evaluation period of 2 weeks. If there are no major variables in the quarantine situation, the second phase will start from December 13th.
From 5 am on the November 1st, a gradual recovery of daily life, the so-called With Corona Phase 1, will be implemented. Private gatherings are possible for up to 10 people in the metropolitan area and 12 people in non-metropolitan areas, and most facilities such as restaurants and cafes are open 24 hours. However, to use high-risk facilities such as entertainment facilities and gyms, you must show a 'vaccine pass'.
According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, the government will start the first phase of 'with Corona' from the 1st in accordance with the 3-step implementation plan of the COVID-19 phased daily recovery confirmed on the 29th.

First, all restrictions on operating hours for multi-use facilities such as restaurants and cafes have been lifted, allowing them to operate 24 hours a day. However, only entertainment facilities, Collatec, and dance studios, which are high-risk facilities for infection, are restricted from operating at 12:00 p.m. The restrictions on business hours will be lifted from Phase 2 of With Corona.
In order to prevent Halloween events and parties from continuing into the early morning of the 1st, the government set the implementation time of the first phase at 5 am on the 1st.
Since the infection may spread ahead of the College Scholastic Ability Test (SAT), the operating hours limit will be lifted from the 22nd of the following month, the day of the entrance exam.
A vaccine pass is also implemented. In high-risk facilities, you need to show the vaccination pass, which is a proof of vaccination and negative, to enter. These include entertainment facilities, karaoke rooms, gyms, and public baths.
Exempt from vaccination.
Even if they do not receive the vaccine, those under the age of 18, those who have recovered from COVID-19, and those who have not been vaccinated for medical reasons such as allergies can enter without a pass.
However, to prevent confusion in the field, a one-week guidance period is operated. The gym, which is mainly used on a monthly basis, has decided to apply a two-week training period.
Private gatherings can be held with up to 10 people in the metropolitan area and 12 people in non-metropolitan areas, regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated. However, in restaurants and cafes where it is difficult to wear a mask due to eating, etc., the number of unvaccinated persons is limited to four. For example, if 10 people gather at a restaurant in the metropolitan area, up to 4 people who are not vaccinated can attend, and the rest must be vaccinated.
Events and gatherings such as weddings, first birthday parties, funerals, and festivals can accommodate up to 99 people, regardless of whether or not they have been vaccinated. If the number of vaccinees alone is composed, the number will be 499. Measures such as weddings, which allowed up to 250 people to attend, made it possible to proceed with the first stage of With Corona.
Events such as performance halls, sports competitions, and festivals with more than 500 people can only be held after approval from the competent ministries and local governments.
In movie theaters, concert halls, sports stadiums, etc., only those who have been vaccinated can eat and drink. In addition, medical institutions allow visits only to those who have been vaccinated, and facilities used by the elderly, such as senior citizens’ centers, are only available to those who have been vaccinated.
Religious activities are possible up to 50% of the capacity, including those who are not vaccinated. The limit on the number of people will be lifted if it consists only of those who have completed inoculation.
