[사회]Yesterday 583 new confirmations … 553 national occurrences, 30 entries abroad

[앵커]

The number of new corona19 confirmed daily has exceeded 500.

It’s been about eight months since it hit 518 on March 6.

Additionally, there is concern that the scale of this third outbreak could be larger than that of the first pandemic, as group infections occur in everyday places, not in specific areas or facilities.

Corona 19 is spreading horribly.

Did the number of new confirmed cases jump from 300 to 500 right away?

Do you expect quarantine authorities to expect the peak of this third epidemic to pass early next week if the further distancing effect appears?

[기자]

The quarantine countermeasures headquarters predicted that the scale of cases like today will continue until this week.

Mathematical predictions show that until next week, early December, between 400 and 600 new cases per day could continue.

However, if the reinforced distancing is well implemented, Bang Dae-bon expects it to take effect early next week as soon as possible and gradually slow down the rate of increase.

Typically, the effect of distancing begins in earnest 1 to 2 weeks after implementation.

However, there is also great concern that the outbreak could be worse than the first and second pandemics.

At this morning’s meeting, screenwriter Park Neung-hoo’s first deputy director said that there is nothing unusual about someone getting infected in any part of their daily life.

The government’s response to the quarantine is said to be even more difficult.

First of all, the scale of group infections occurring simultaneously in various places of everyday life also gradually increases.

The infection, especially in younger people, is not serious.

The proportion of infected people in their 20s and 30s has risen to 28% in one month, and so are 19 young critically ill patients who need a ventilator.

Quarantine authorities are currently focusing more on blocking the umpteenth infection by reducing the contact rate.
