At 0 o’clock today, there were 100 new confirmed cases of Corona 19, continuing the three-digit number for the third day.
With 71 domestic outbreaks and 29 foreign entries, the outbreak spread through everyday spaces and the number of foreign entries increased steadily, so quarantine authorities are struggling to increase the distance from the metropolitan area.

First, let’s summarize the current state of the main domestic events at noon today, right?
[기자]First is a new group infection.
After the first confirmed case occurred on the 7th in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, 11 more were confirmed, a total of 12 confirmed cases.
There are 4 families, including the first patient, 3 students, 2 relatives, 1 instructor, and 2 acquaintances of the first patient.
The route of infection is believed to have spread to the family, including the first patient, to academies, schools, and senior job start-up centers, and then to the student’s family.
In Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do, a total of 11 confirmed cases have been added since the first outbreak of patients on day 8.
There were 7 confirmed cases in older people alone, and they are believed to have been infected while talking with snacks in older people.
An additional 21 patients were confirmed in relation to medical institutions in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, and nursing facilities in Anyang-si, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients increased to 131.
Of these, 17 people were infected at the Kumho Nursing Home in Seoul. The bed gap was narrow, residents were unsafe to wear masks, and there was a risk factor that the frequency of worker-resident contact was very high.
2 people related to insurance companies in Gangseo-gu, Seoul were added to a total of 36 people, and 2 people were added to Dongdaemun-gu Ace Hope Care Center, a total of 38 people.
Two more people were added to the Lucky Sauna in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and a total of 46 people were added, and two were added to the high school and gym in the metropolitan area, a total of 73.
[앵커]Quarantine authorities said that if the current spread continues, the level of social distancing in the metropolitan area can be raised, right?
[기자]This is what Sohn Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division, Accident Control Headquarters, revealed in the subsequent briefing.
Sohn said that if the number of confirmed cases gradually increases and continues to rise as is the current trend, there is a risk of raising the social distancing stage in the metropolitan area to 1.5 steps after 2-3 weeks.
The metropolitan area currently has an average of about 70 people a day.
However, Daejeon and Chungcheong were in the top 10 and the rest of the region was less than 5, so the need to raise the nation to level 1.5 is less.
Kwon Jun-wook, head of Bang Dae-bon’s second vice president, also warned that Corona 19 is currently under control, although it is impressive, but it could grow exponentially if it exceeds a certain level.
In addition, the infection reproduction index, R-value, which shows how many people a patient transmits the virus, was revealed to be 1.07 in a national standard until last week.
He also pointed out that the metropolitan area is slightly less than 1, and that it is impossible to rule out a situation that can increase rapidly if a quarantine is neglected or other variables arise.
[앵커]Mask fines will apply from the 13th and the quarantine authorities have set detailed rules, right?
[기자]On the 13th of last month, the government revised the Infectious Disease Prevention Act, allowing it to impose a fine for violating the wearing of a mask.
A penalty will be imposed from the 13th of the following month after a period of one month.
The facilities subject to fines are 9 types of priority management facilities, such as clubs, entertainment bars and singing practice.
In addition, the masks should be used in 14 types of general management facilities, such as PC rooms, wedding halls, academies, cinemas, and department stores.
Additionally, masks are also mandatory in public transportation, medical institutions, and religious facilities.
However, those under the age of 14 who cannot wear a mask on their own, or those who have difficulty breathing when wearing a mask, are not subject to a fine.
Also, when eating or drinking, while in the water, such as in a pool or bath, no penalty is imposed, even in exceptional circumstances, such as appearing on a broadcast or verifying your identity.
It is recommended to bring a mask for sanitary use or an anti-splash mask, but you can bring a cloth or disposable mask.
However, if you cover your face with clothing such as a mesh or scarf, or your mouth and nose are not completely covered, then you will not be considered wearing a mask.
Regardless of the number of times, the penalty is less than 100,000 won, and a fine of less than 3 million won is imposed on managers who do not adhere to quarantine guidelines, such as wearing a mask.
