The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases once again exceeded 1,000. There are 1,029 new patients a day and there are a lot of deaths, so I’m still worried. To prevent the UK mutant virus, it has been decided to force all foreigners entering the country to send negative corona19 confirmation letters. We will try to find out more by connecting journalists. Reporter Kim Hye-eun! The number of new patients has risen back to 1,000. Did the death toll increase a lot? Yes, at 0 o’clock today, there were 1,029 new cases in total. Yesterday it was 967, and in one day it was over a thousand again. In terms of contagion route, 1,004 national outbreaks and 25 foreign entries. There are still many infected people in the metropolitan area. Seoul 358, Gyeonggi 271, Incheon 63, with 692 new patients. In the non-metropolitan area, new patients were confirmed in all 17 cities and provinces across the country, including 55 in Busan, 43 in Daegu, 43 in Ulsan, 34 in Gyeongnam and 29 in Gangwon. Of the 25 confirmed entries abroad, 4 were confirmed during the quarantine stage. There were 17 additional deaths and the cumulative death toll was 917. The number of patients with severe gastric disorders also increased from 10 to 354. Are you saying that the government requires the submission of a negative confirmation letter for all incoming travelers from around the world? The government has made it mandatory for all foreigners entering Korea from around the world to send a PCR voice confirmation letter upon entering Korea. Voice confirmation must be issued within 72 hours prior to departure. The airport applies from the arrival on January 8 and the port from January 15. Until now, foreigners from Great Britain and South Africa are required to submit negative PCR confirmations. The government sees the current situation as a ‘congestion period’ with around 1,000 new patients a day. On the 24th of last month, the government restricted travel and various meetings through special quarantine measures during the end of the year and the New Year holidays. However, the situation has not improved in particular and the quarantine authorities are increasingly concerned. Furthermore, the reinforced distancing and special quarantine measures that are currently being implemented will end the day after tomorrow. Until then, it is necessary to expand or prepare separate measures, so we will announce the contents tomorrow. Previously, the government held a major conference yesterday to gather opinions from local ministries and governments and private experts. However, it is said that there is a high possibility of continuing with the current measures for the time being as huge social and economic damages are expected when the third step of social distancing is implemented. Until now, I am YTN Kim Hye-eun from the Ministry of Social Affairs. ※ ‘Your report becomes news’ YTN awaits your valuable report.
