Yonhap News Agency, Jan. 17 (Xinhua)-Kwon Dezhe, the first director (deputy director) of South Korea’s Central Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said on the 17th that the government will temporarily lift the epidemic prevention pass (vaccination certificate and negative certificate) system for places with low risk of epidemic spread such as cram schools, reading rooms, museums, cinemas and large supermarkets from tomorrow.
Quan Dezhe said that the Korean government plans to lift the epidemic prevention pass system being implemented in places where masks can be worn at any time and saliva splashes are less. Compared with last December, the current epidemic situation has slowed down, and the capacity of the medical system has increased. It is necessary to relax the epidemic prevention permit system in places with low risks. In addition, the court recently made a completely different judgment on the epidemic prevention pass system, which caused chaos in various places and needed to be adjusted.
As a result, six types of places where epidemic prevention passes are being applied will be temporarily lifted, including reading rooms, study cafes, libraries, museums, art galleries, science and technology museums, department stores, large supermarkets, cram schools, cinemas and performance venues. However, it is forbidden to take off masks in reading rooms and cram schools, and epidemic prevention passes continue to be applied to restaurants and cafes in department stores and informal performance venues with more than 50 people.
