[사회]After three days of 1.5 steps to distance the metropolitan area … the government “review of step 2”

[앵커]

The quarantine authorities are considering proactively raising the social distancing of the metropolitan area to the second stage.

It has only been three days since it rose to the 1.5 rung, but considering the current differential it appears that there is no other means of control other than distance adjustment.

Reporter Park Hong-gu about the report.

Step 2 was announced just three days after Step 1.5 of social distancing was implemented between the metropolitan area and Gangwon-do.

Quarantine authorities believe that preventive measures are inevitable given the rate of increase in patients, although the average number of confirmed cases per day is 175 in the metropolitan area and 16 in Gangwon-do.

Above all, although there is no large-scale outbreak, the number of new patients increases by dozens each day to reach 400 people.

Group infections, large and small in various places in daily life, continue simultaneously throughout the country.

Also, as the number of infections among youngsters increases, the spread spreads without their knowledge and the weather turns colder, so there seems to be no way to quell the spread other than increasing the distance.

When the distance to stage 2 is increased, entertainment facilities such as clubs, parlor halls, and hunting pots will be completely closed.

Cafes are only allowed for packing and delivery, and restaurants must also open a table and cannot open after 9pm

He added that the quarantine authorities are considering measures not only in terms of quarantine, but also considering the difficulties of ordinary people’s lives.
