Under the Level 1 guidelines - applied when the daily number of confirmed Covid-19 cases is below 500 nationwide and below 250 in the Seoul metropolitan area - no ceiling will be levied on the num-ber of private gatherings if they follow quarantine rules, according to the Ministry of Health and Wel-fare.
