[앵커]

The number of new confirmed corona 19 patients has remained at 500 units for six days.

However, as some quarantine measures are being relaxed, the risk of spread remains high.

Corona 19 infection is showing a modest decline.

It is the sixth line of 500 people from 12.

It’s definitely down from last month’s peak, when it recorded a thousand people, but it’s a stagnant phase that doesn’t rise or fall rapidly in the new year.

As the recreation of social distancing and the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people are extended to the end of this month, we are interested in whether the spread will be further reduced, but many threats remain.

First of all, it is still a favorable winter season for viral survival.

Also, there is a Lunar New Year holiday that is expected to move largely next month.

Some relaxation of quarantine measures for gyms and karaoke rooms is also a variable.

In particular, religious facilities where group infection continues to be an element of anxiety.

In relation to the BTJ Center for Nations in Sangju, Gyeongbuk, the number of confirmed cases steadily increased to 763.

There are about 1,000 people whose test results have not yet been recorded.

The influx of mutant viruses, which are widely transmitted, is also a potential concern.

This is a phase in which reproliferation can be triggered at any time if alertness is relaxed.
