South Korean Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum announced on the 29th at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters the plan for the first phase of the transition from the novel coronavirus prevention system to a "gradual return to daily life (With Corona)". This will be implemented for four weeks starting November 1. Business hour restrictions for facilities used by unspecified numbers of people, excluding entertainment facilities such as clubs, will be lifted, allowing for 24-hour operation. Private gatherings will be allowed for up to 10 people in the Seoul metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Incheon) and up to 12 people in areas outside the Seoul metropolitan area, regardless of vaccination status. However, in restaurants and cafes, which have a high risk of COVID-19 infection, the limit will be four people for those who have not been vaccinated. Kim stated, "This is an unavoidable choice to reduce the risk of mass infections, which is bound to increase if the number of customers rises due to eased quarantine measures," and added, "We will set a grace period of one to two weeks depending on the facility to ensure smooth implementation on the ground."
