[사회]Corona 19 increase, 583 new confirmed … “will be reversed next week”

[앵커]

As the national Corona 19 spread at a terrifying rate, it skyrocketed to the late 500 level, surpassing the second pandemic in August.

Some predict it will outgrow the first pandemic in February, but quarantine authorities predicted that it would register between 400 and 600 people at the moment, then gradually decrease next week.

The number of new confirmed corona19 cases in Korea, which is showing a rapid increase in recent years, is 583, an increase of 201 from the previous day.

The record of 500 new confirmed cases is 265 days since March 6, when the first pandemic occurred as a result of a group choleitis in the Daegu church in Shincheonji.

This third pandemic simply surpassed the highest record for the second pandemic in the metropolitan area in August 441, and is approaching the level of the first pandemic with a maximum of 909 people.

By region, there were 402 people in the metropolitan area, including 208 people in Seoul and 177 people in Gyeonggi province, and 45 people in Gyeongnam, 19 people in Busan, and 16 people in Chungnam and Jeonbuk.

In particular, the group infection is spreading through daily life such as school, academy, church, sauna, and small groups.

Quarantine authorities expect that since the effect of distance distancing typically appears 1-2 weeks later, the trend will continue to increase through this week, then peak around next weekend and turn into a decline.

[이상원 / 중앙방역대책본부 역학조사분석단장 : 12월 초까지는 일일 400~600명대의 신규확진자가 지속 발생할 수 있을 것으로 예상됩니다. 그렇지만 강화된 거리두기가 잘 이행된다면 그 효과는 이르면 다음 주 초부터 나타나 (조금씩 증가속도가 누그러질 수도 있다고 봅니다.)]

For the moment, the trend will continue, but the trend may change depending on the effect of distance.

The government canceled all meetings and appointments until the spread of Corona 19 subsided and requested that even if there are no symptoms, as there are many asymptomatic infections, if you feel unwell even a little, you should be examined at a screening clinic .
