If you need additional information on other events, we will explain it to you in detail through the Spokesperson’s office after the briefing. Looking at the current epidemic, the number of patients is gradually increasing even outside the metropolitan area. In addition, the proportion of the age group 20 to 39 years was 22.3% in October and 28.7% in November, but it is increasing to 32.3% from December 1 to 3, so the current epidemic It is expanding locally and social activities through various channels. The situation is believed to be developing around this active age group.
At this time, the uptrend, which had only increased sharply last week by strengthening the gap, has been temporarily suppressed.
An explosive increase in patients is possible at any time with a little carelessness.
It can be said that this is a time when you can never loosen up.
In fact, breakouts can happen in places you never thought of. It is necessary to observe the safety rules in any place and in any meeting.
For example, cases of non-compliance with safety rules were frequently reported and received during kimchi gatherings or kimchi events, and there were actually cases of spread through kimchi gatherings.
The need for a mask is also confirmed in epidemiological investigations.
Taking a hospital in Seo-gu, Gwangju as an example, two corona19 confirmed patients visited the hospital three times during the broadcast period, but fortunately, the situation ended without any additional patients thanks to the good use of a mask.
Today is the day of the college entrance exam.
I would like to express my condolences to all the examinees who are studying and taking exams despite the particularly difficult conditions this year.
And with a very heavy heart, I would like to ask one more request from all of you who are taking the special and difficult SAT for the first time in history because of Corona 19.
Right now, Korea and the world are fighting a long and difficult battle in the face of a large-scale pandemic.
Social distancing and adherence to hygiene rules are more important than ever.
Considering the time that I have spent after studying a lot, I would like to tell you to take the pressure off today and enjoy it as you please, but it is a pity that it is not like that. Please avoid unnecessary gatherings as much as possible and maintain personal hygiene in places where many people gather.
Also, since the entrance exam continues after the SAT, we ask for the joint effort of all members of our society so that the hard work of candidates who have studied hard due to Corona 19 infection is not wasted.
Along with social distancing and adherence to hygiene standards, what I would like to ask for is a quick inspection and confirmation. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to visit the screening clinic right away. If there are people who are anxious about suspicious symptoms, I would like to tell them that immediate testing and confirmation is near and that it is being able to keep loved ones safe.
The later the test, the more people are at risk.
Also, for everyone’s safety, we ask for your warm consideration so that those with symptoms can undergo the test without hesitation.
