[앵커]Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do has upgraded the social distancing stage to stage 2 from 0 o’clock today. It is the first time in the country since social distancing has been reorganized into five stages. Heo Seok We will hear the background and prospects of increasing the distance connecting the Suncheon market. Mayor Hey, are you with me?
[허석]Hi.
[앵커]Hi? Suncheon City has raised the response stage to stage 2 for the first time in the country. How many patients are there?
[허석]67 people have been confirmed in 2 weeks from the last 7 days. This is because 64 people were confirmed in a month during the first crisis in August. Compared to this, it can be seen that the number of patients is now increasing by about double.
[앵커]The number of confirmed cases itself is less than the national average, but such a small group of infection is serious enough to make this decision.
[허석]So is. In fact, our city of Suncheon is one 185th of the population of Korea. If so, there were 20 confirmed cases per day on the 18th. This is the same as 3,700 cases in Korea as a whole. Also, as the source of infection is prevalent in many places, at home, at work and in nearby places, I thought it should be preventedly suppressed.
[앵커]Mayor, were there any considerations for the SAT?
[허석]No SAT on December 3? In preparation for the SAT, I was trying to worry if it wasn’t happening in school now. It can be said that this consideration was a lot because there were one or two confirmed cases in school and three cases in secondary school.
[앵커]Once you upgrade to the second stage, a lot of things will be immediately restricted. Explain specifically what quarantine measures are being implemented.
[허석]As everyone knows, the gathering of 5 kinds of entertainment facilities is prohibited. Secondly, in the case of restaurants, cafes and karaoke rooms, it can be said that business after 9 o’clock is restricted. Also, wedding halls and funeral homes are prohibited for more than 100 people. It operates with less than 100 people. It can be said that all indoor events are forbidden for more than 100 people. That is why Suncheon City is taking steps now to mobilize all its administrative power to comply with the executive order.
[앵커]What was the reaction of the citizens?
[허석]Last August, our city of Suncheon faced its first crisis. At that time, the citizens of Suncheon showed great citizenship. I don’t know if it was because of my experience at the time, but this time there was a very good response to the promotion to the second stage for the first time in the country. However, some freelancers did not stop worrying.
[앵커]In the first place, opposition from traders appears to be great. This, however, was a measure to avoid further economic losses. Somehow, Suncheon City also seems to have had a lot of concerns about preemptively taking such measures. If so, what level of distance reduction measures do you think will be possible?
[허석]I think it is premature to say flexibility. During the first crisis, for the first time in the country, we made a strong distance equivalent to the third stage. At that time, I was dominated in about a week. I believe that today’s second crisis will be overcome within a week, and at least two weeks at the latest. By then we will review the mitigation.
[앵커]Good. Mayor, I think you have one last story you want to tell the citizens of Suncheon. Please say something.
[허석]As always, I believe that maintaining social distancing and wearing a mask correctly is the most powerful vaccine that protects me, my family, and my loved ones. We believe that if not only the citizens of Suncheon but also the YTN viewers protect this, we will be able to protect our precious people.
[앵커]Good. We hope to regain stability as soon as possible. I will listen to you today. Until now, it was the Heoseok Suncheon Market. thanks.
