Keep three digits, distance 1 step▶ Click here to enlarge the view
The spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which is linked to family, acquaintances, workplaces, markets, saunas, etc., has not rarely abated.
There is concern about whether the ‘red light’ on quarantine management has come on ahead of the full-blown winter season, as infections continue to occur not only in facilities vulnerable to infectious or high-risk diseases, but also in spaces everyday.
In particular, as the new ‘social distance’ system to prepare for long-term war with Corona 19 was in full force from day 7, the lowest stage 1 of the 5 stages was applied (1 → 1.5 → 2 → 2.5 → 3), and was confirmed again during the last three days in a row. There are also observations that the tendency to self-proliferate is unusual, such as registering three digits for 100 people, so it can be moved up to step 1.5 at any time.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Daebon), the number of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Korea the previous day was 145, showing three digits for three consecutive days after the 4th to the 5th of this month (118, 125).
Recently, the number of new confirmed cases has fluctuated repeatedly with around 100 people a day.
As for the number of new confirmed cases for 6 days this month, 124 → 97 → 75 → 118 → 125 → 145, etc., has already exceeded 100 four times, and the increase has increased gradually in the last three days. .
The trend of confirmed cases of ‘local outbreaks’, which quarantine authorities use as criteria to assess the domestic epidemic, is also unstable.
There were 98, 108 and 117 confirmed cases from the 4th to the previous day, respectively, representing 100 cases over two consecutive days.
In a situation in which there are no cases of large-scale group infection, the number of confirmed cases continues to increase as new cases of outbreaks emerge in spaces of daily life such as family and acquaintances gatherings, workplaces and markets.
For example, in relation to an insurance company in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, a total of 17 people, mainly employees and family members, tested positive in about two days after the first confirmed patient (indicator patient) occurred on day 4.

A group infection occurred in a Songpa-gu market and eight people, including merchants and relatives, were confirmed.
Quarantine authorities are investigating the exact source of infection and the route of infection, as both the Gangseo-gu insurance company and the Songpa-gu market case reported that the infection spread through close contact with colleagues. .
The constant emergence of confirmed cases in existing cases of group infection is also deepening the concerns of quarantine authorities.
The number of confirmed patients is 1-2 every day in connection with the metropolitan high school and gymnasium (accumulated 64 people), the golf alumni meeting in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do (59 people), a meeting of acquaintances in Gangnam and Seocho, Seoul (33 people) and the Ace Hope Care Center in Dongdaemun-gu (25 people). The size increases as people go out.
The growing number of confirmed cases outside the metropolitan area is one of the factors that makes the response to the quarantine difficult.
There have been around 10 confirmed cases of regional outbreaks in the non-capital area, but as new cases of outbreaks were confirmed in Chungnam and Gyeongnam, and during the last 5-6 days, 36 and 45, respectively.
Regarding the Shinhan Life Insurance Card call center in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, 30 people were confirmed the day before, and in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, a total of 21 people were infected with a family member who attended a memorial meeting and is receiving treatment.
Quarantine authorities plan to consider whether to adjust the stage by closely examining the trend of confirmed cases in the future as the new distance system is rolled out starting today.
In addition, the quarantine authorities are also interested in knowing if the infection occurred on ‘Halloween Day’ (October 31), where a large number of young people gathered in clubs and bars. This is because if the current spread and Halloween infection are added, the number of new confirmed cases can spike out of control.
Young-rae Sohn, head of the Accident Control Headquarters Strategic Planning Division, said: “The number of domestic patients is gradually increasing, and if this trend continues, the possibility of exceeding the target of the management of suppressing the appearance of patients to double digits “.
He also emphasized that “if the gradual increase in the metropolitan area continues, we should consider upgrading to the 1.5-step distance,” he said. “It is the best outcome for all citizens to strictly follow the quarantine regulations and maintain the first level.”
