[Photo] Seoul City Strengthens Quarantine Measures by Declaring a 'Pause Period'

As social distancing measures in the Seoul metropolitan area were raised to Level 2 starting at midnight on the 24th, quarantine measures were significantly strengthened, especially in multi-use facilities. Separately, the Seoul Metropolitan Government declared a "Pause Period for 10 Million Citizens" until the end of the year, implementing Seoul-style precision quarantine enhancements for 10 major facilities within the city, a complete ban on gatherings of 10 or more people throughout Seoul, and a 20% reduction in public transportation operations after 10 p.m. The photo shows quarantine company personnel conducting disinfection at the Yeouido Transfer Center in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, on the same day. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
