The number of new confirmed corona19 cases, which had slowed for a time in the new year, again surpassed 1,000 in three days. The next two weeks, when the stage of social distancing has been extended again, is expected to be a critical step in the third epidemic. Connect with reporters. Reporter Kim Jong-gyun! Contrary to the judgment of the quarantine authorities that the third corona19 epidemic is “passing its peak smoothly”, the spread appears to remain the same, but did the number of new confirmed cases again exceed 1,000? As of midnight today, 1,020 new cases have been confirmed. It increased from 657 the day before to almost 400 in one day. When looking at the route of infection, national outbreaks were 985 and foreign entries were 35. At the regional level, there are still many metropolitan areas. The domestic outbreak was 324 in Seoul, 260 in Gyeonggi and 101 in Incheon, with 685 in the metropolitan area alone. In the non-metropolitan area, Gwangju was the largest with 74 people. This was followed by 34 in Busan, 33 in Gyeongnam, 29 in Daegu and 25 in Gyeongbuk. New patients were confirmed in 16 provinces across the country, except Sejong. Of the 35 foreign entries, 11 were confirmed during the quarantine stage. The additional death toll is 19 and the cumulative death toll is 981. The number of people with severe gastric disorders is 351, 4 people less. The government plans to mobilize all quarantine capabilities and reduce the number of confirmed cases in January to break the spread. The stage of social distancing has also been extended again from today. The previous stage 2.5 in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-metropolitan area, the distance adjustment, will continue for two more weeks until the 17th. The prohibition of private meetings with more than 5 people also applies from the metropolitan area to the entire country. There are also areas that are relieved. In consideration of the vacation care gap, the academy is allowed in the metropolitan area if the number of students is less than 9, and winter sports facilities, such as ski resorts, are open until 9 p.m. with a limit of one third of the capacity.
