[사회]500 people for three days in a row … will the distance increase tomorrow?

[앵커]

The number of new confirmed cases of corona 19 reached the 500 mark for three consecutive days.

I’m interested in whether the quarantine authorities will raise the level of social distancing at the critical script meeting tomorrow.

We hooked up reporters, reporter Seung-hwan Kim!

Let’s summarize the new confirmation of Corona 19 as of 0 am today.

[기자]

There are 504 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea.

It is 51 people less than the day before, but it is still a high level of 500 people, and the average patient per week is still dangerous with 400 people.

The cumulative confirmed cases now exceed 33,000 to 33,375.

Regarding the route of infection, the national outbreaks were 486 and the foreign entries were 18.

By regions, 176 in Seoul, 122 in Gyeonggi and 25 in Incheon, which represents 66.5% of the total local outbreak.

In the non-metropolitan area, Gangwon has the highest number with 33 people, while Busan has 27 and Chungbuk has 23.

There were 18 confirmed cases of influx abroad, including 3 that came out of the quarantine stage.

In addition, the death toll yesterday was 6, an increase of 5 from the previous day, and the cumulative death toll was 522.

The number of patients with severe gastric disorders was 78, 1 less than the day before.

In the midst of this, will quarantine authorities decide whether to raise social distance tomorrow?

[기자]

Unlike the first and second coronavirus episodes, the third coronavirus outbreak has occurred simultaneously across the country and quarantine authorities are unable to keep up with the spread.

Furthermore, the number of confirmed cases among young people is increasing rapidly, and among them are many cases of silent transmission due to asymptomatic and cold weather.

Quarantine authorities plan to decide on a social distancing adjustment plan by gathering opinions from local governments and experts at tomorrow’s big main meeting.

If the spreading trend this weekend is not serious, there is the possibility of an improvement in 2.5 stages in the metropolitan area or in 2 stages nationwide.

However, if the distance is increased, it will damage the economy, which will deeply concern the quarantine authorities.

So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has handed it over.
