[사회]”Great response to quarantine … it is necessary to increase the distance in a preventive way in 3 steps”

[앵커]

Even when the distance was raised to the second stage, the spread of Corona 19 was rarely detected, and the number of new confirmed cases reached 600 people per day.

As group infections explode everywhere, there are voices that social distancing steps need to be proactively strengthened.

Churches, saunas, aerobics academies, government offices, military units.

Even after increasing social distancing from step 1.5 to step 2, the steep expansion rarely slows down.

The number of new confirmations increased by almost 600 people.

On the 14th, it passed the 200 mark, and in just four days, it climbed to the 300 mark, and eight days later, it jumped to the 400 mark and immediately rose to 580.

It has been eight months since last March that the number of new confirmed cases has reached the level of 500.

In particular, as the chain of infection diversifies and the area of ​​the outbreak rapidly expands, tensions between quarantine authorities increase.

Some point out that the bitter outbreak is due to the late response to quarantine.

On the 19th, the government increased the distance between the metropolitan area to 1.5 steps and then increased it to the second step in just five days.

There were voices that emphasized the preventive response, but were cautious because the economic impact was too great.

Experts say that the pandemic has not been prevented as a result, emphasizing that in order to quickly contain the infection, measures must be strengthened in 2.5 or 3 steps immediately.

There are also views that taking strong action can reduce long-term economic damage, even if small business owners or the self-employed suffer.

It is a time when proactive judgment and action are important before the bed becomes saturated.
