The government will consult with specialists and hold an open debate on Dec. 15 before setting up the final plan, Lee explained. Since early November, health authorities mentioned the possibility of lifting the indoor mask mandate after a resurgence of coronavirus infections this winter.
이 장관은 정부는 최종 계획을 세우기 전 전문가 의견 수렴을 위해 15일 공개토론회를 열 것이라고 설명했다. 11월 초 이래로 보건 당국은 이번 겨울 코로나 감염 재유행 이후 실내 마스크 착용 해제 가능성에 대해 언급해왔다.

Some facilities could remain subject to the indoor mask mandate in order to protect high-risk groups, the commissioner said, explaining that "voluntary mask wearing could be necessary to protect one's own health."
이 장관은 고위험군을 보호를 위한 일부 시설에서는 실내 마스크 착용이 의무로 남을 가능성이 높다며 "자발적인 마스크 착용이 스스로의 건강 보호를 위해 필요할 수 있다"고 설명했다.

1일 대전시는 중앙방역대책 본부에 코로나로 지친 시민들을 위해 1월까지 마스크 착용 의무를 완화해달라고 요청했다. 김태흠 충남지사 역시 실내 마스크 착용은 개인의 선택이어야 한다고 말했다.

Peck said the headquarters "provided enough explanation on the effectiveness of indoor mask-wearing (to local governments) and requested their cooperation in operating a single quarantine system." There was no objection from the local governments, she said.
백 질병관리청장은 중대본은 "실내 마스크의 착용 효과에 대해 (지자체에) 충분히 설명했으며 단일 방역망 가동을 위해 지자체의 협조를 요청했다"고 전했다. 백 관리청창은 이에 대해 지자체의 이의 제기는 없었다고 말했다.

As other major quarantine measures, including the social distancing regulations, have been discussed and operated by the Central Disease Management Headquarters, the easing of indoor mask-wearing regulations should also go through the same process, the minister said.
이 장관은 사회적 거리두기 규제를 포함한 다른 주요 방역 수칙을 중대본이 논의하고 가동해 온 만큼 실내 마스크 착용의무 해제 역시 동일한 과정을 거쳐야 한다고 말했다.
