South Korea Announces New Coronavirus Restrictions; Group Size Limits and Business Curfews Implemented
Here is the latest restrictions to impact the public in South Korea:
South Korea will reduce the maximum private gathering size to four people nationwide and restore a 9 p.m. curfew on restaurant and cafe business hours, Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum said Thursday, as the government rolled back its “living with COVID-19” scheme amid surging infections.
Under the new measures, which will be in effect from Saturday until Jan. 2, the use of restaurants and cafes will be restricted to up to four vaccinated people per visit. Those who have not been vaccinated will be able to use the facilities alone or request take-out or delivery, Kim said.
Bars, nightclubs and other entertainment venues will also be subject to the 9 p.m. curfew while movie theaters, concert halls and internet cafes, however, will be able to operate until 10 p.m., Kim said during a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

I guess they want to finish off any restaurants and bars that somehow managed to survive up til now….
soooo fucking stupid.
Wait! Where’s his mask?
Frankly, the Chinese paper face diapers are no more effective than Laporte’s reflective belts would be at stopping COVID-19.
OTOH, soldiers wearing the belts might have help in social-distancing…
Starting on Saturday, 18 December 2021, through 2 January 2022, the Republic of Korea will enact stricter standards peninsula wide to continue to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
– Private gatherings are limited to 4 people, regardless of vaccination status.
– Restaurants, bars, cafes will close at 2100.
– Movie theaters, concert halls will close at 2200.
In addition, unvaccinated individuals must dine in alone at cafes or restaurants or use takeout. Previously, unvaccinated individuals could be part of a group of vaccinated / unvaccinated individuals while dining in. This is no longer the case.

This means my wife and I cannot go out to eat … together. Mmm. Well, we ARE about to go eat, so we’ll see if they actually seat us separately.
