Gov’t Maintains Slightly Relaxed Social Distancing Campaign Until May 5, 2020.
Following the end of the previous enhanced Social Distancing Campaign (19 April), the Social Distancing Campaign has been extended, with a partial easing of the guidelines, until May 5, 2020.
- High-risk facilities including nightlife entertainment venues, some fitness/sports venues, private academies, and religious facilities are recommended to refrain from operations (previously “recommended to suspend operations”). Facilities that remain in operation are required to comply with infection prevention and control guidelines (same as before).
- People are recommended to refrain from non-essential social gatherings or events. Essential exams and other unavoidable events will be allowed on a limited basis on the condition that infection prevention/control guidelines are followed.
- National parks, recreation forests, arboreta and other relatively lower-risk “outdoor, dispersed” facilities that have suspended operations may gradually reopen in phases on the condition that they implement infection prevention/control policy measures. “Outdoor, concentrated” facilities that can meet the “dispersion” requirement (e.g., professional baseball games held without any spectators) will be allowed to reopen on a limited basis.
Please refrain from going outdoors and delay or cancel planned gatherings, events and travel.
Stay at home as much as possible to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
