On the fourth day there are 300 people.
The government is considering formalizing the third pandemic and raising social distancing to the second stage.
[임숙영 / 중앙방역대책본부 상황총괄단장]Let me tell you the status of the event.
As of 0:00 on November 21, there were 361 new confirmed cases in Korea.
25 cases of foreign entry were confirmed, so the cumulative number of confirmed cases is 3403.
The number of people recently released from quarantine is 102 and currently 3,535 are in quarantine.
There are 86 seriously ill patients and 2 deceased.
Let the souls of the deceased abstain.
Let me tell you the current status of the main domestic outbreaks.
Regarding the international student meeting in Mapo-gu, Seoul, seven more were confirmed during the contact investigation after the first confirmed case occurred on November 17.
So to date, there are 8 cumulative confirmed cases.
Regarding the day ward of the University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul, an additional 10 cases were confirmed during the contact investigation after the first confirmed case occurred on November 18, and the cumulative number of cases is currently 11.
In relation to the short-term appointments academy in Noryangjin, Seoul, 58 additional confirmed cases have been confirmed and a total of 69 cases have been confirmed so far.
Nine more people were confirmed in connection with the Seoul Metropolitan Alumni Movement meeting.
The cumulative number is 19 so far.
During a contact investigation involving a sauna in Seocho-gu, Seoul, an additional 27 people were confirmed.
This is a cumulative 41 so far.
Regarding the hospitals located in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, 11 additional confirmed cases have been confirmed and the cumulative number of confirmed cases to date is 28.
Regarding the Cheongnyeonsa in Dobong-gu, Seoul, five were added and a total of 29 were confirmed.
An additional 12 people with family and acquaintances were confirmed in Namdong-gu, Incheon and 41 were confirmed.
An additional 17 people were confirmed during the quarantine in connection with the metropolitan middle school and gym.
In relation to Sunmoon University in Asan-si, Chungnam, two were added and a total of 16 were confirmed.
Nine more people were confirmed in connection with Gimcheon University in Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk.
To date, a total of 10 cases have been confirmed.
Regarding the family reunion in Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, 3 people were added during the survey and 5 people were added for the fellowship meeting in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Next, we will present the case of a chain spread of group infections in everyday life.
The first case is a case of group infection related to the gymnasium of a secondary school in the metropolitan area.
On October 25, an indicator patient was confirmed, and as a result of a follow-up investigation, additional broadcasts were extended in the gym where the indicator patient’s family member was a member, and about 10 additional broadcasts occurred at the research center where they also the gym member worked.
In addition, it was confirmed that more than 10 people occurred additional radio waves in another gym where the research center staff members are members.
In addition, through the reading group that the gym member attended, an additional dissemination was made, and about 30 people were confirmed, for which a total of 87 people were confirmed in less than a month.
The second case is a group infection involving medical institutions and nursing facilities in Anyang, Gunpo, Gyeonggi province.
On October 18, the indicator patient was confirmed, and as a result of the follow-up investigation, there was an additional large-scale transmission at Namcheon Hospital, where the indicator patient’s family was a caregiver.
All inpatients from Namcheon Hospital became Osan Medical Rehabilitation Hospital, where there were more than 30 other people.
In addition, the family of the index patient is using the nursing home, through which 30 more people were transmitted.
In addition, the family of the person confirmed in the Nursery for the Elderly was in the Ai-Sarang Nursery, which was more extended from here.
And a family member of a student in Ai Sarang’s kindergarten met an acquaintance, and the acquaintance’s office, the Kumho Nursing Home, had a further large-scale extension.
So, a total of 166 people were confirmed over a period of about a month from October 20 to November 18.
Currently, preventive and comprehensive examinations are being carried out in metropolitan areas and outside the capital for facilities vulnerable to infection, such as nursing hospitals.
Let me tell you the intermediate result.
The metropolitan area was completed on November 6.
And consequently, we are currently conducting periodic inspections every two weeks until the end of the year.
The non-metropolitan area began the inspection on November 9 and is currently in process.
To date, a total of 91 confirmed cases have been identified in eight infection-prone facilities, including Seoul, Gyeonggi and Busan, through Japanese inspection.
Therefore, quarantine measures are being implemented accordingly.
Currently, a special quarantine period is in operation for the SAT in conjunction with related organizations.
In this regard, I would like to ask the public’s attention and attention to the safety of the examinees and to protect the application session.
The Ministry of Education and the Office of Education are actively promoting quarantine inspections in academies, teaching centers and study cafes by local governments.
Also, starting one week before the SAT, it is recommended to refrain from using face-to-face lessons for academies and classrooms, and refrain from using them for test takers.
In addition, quarantine management will be strengthened for facilities with a high possibility of entry for test takers, such as game shops, karaoke rooms and cinemas.
Recently, sporadic small-scale group infections are increasing through family, acquaintances, workplaces, schools and academies. To block the spread of this chain infection, it is necessary to minimize contact between people in daily life.
As in the event that infection through small gatherings has spread to facilities vulnerable to infection such as hospitals and nursing homes, the elderly and the underlying diseases are inevitably affected in their health and life when infected with Corona. 19.
Therefore, keep in mind that these are the final victims in the spread of corona 19. The corona epidemic in Korea is a very serious situation as the beginning of a large-scale spread.
On the 19th, the distance between the Seoul metropolitan area and the Gangwon area rose to 1.5 steps, and the number of confirmed cases weekly in the metropolitan area is 175.1 and the Gangwon area is 16, Four.
Another concern is that the Infectious Reproduction Index, a predictive indicator of the epidemic, exceeds 1.5.
A confirmed patient infects more than 1.5 people.
Based on these predictions, it is estimated that the number of new patients per day for the next week will reach 400 and more than 600 by early December.
If we do not block the current spread, we find ourselves on a medium to large-sized highway where a national epidemic is expected to surpass the Daegu Gyeongbuk area epidemic and the metropolitan epidemic in late August.
Therefore, no matter what form of face-to-face contact, it is impossible to block the current spread without reducing the number of people who meet and put on a mask.
It is a winter season when indoor activities are on the rise and ventilation is difficult.
So, seasonally, it became a season when virus suppression became more difficult.
Infections are increasing in most Northern Hemisphere countries entering winter, with some countries experiencing an increase in infections from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people every day.
Even if the trend in Korea is not at that level, it can be seen that the current reality is the situation where we can face the biggest trend that we have ever experienced.
As the epidemiological investigations mentioned above clearly show the current transmission pattern, a small-scale infection that occurred in a school spreads to other local gyms through family members, and then to other users who use the gym, and the user returns to work. It also spread to other research institutes and, through this, spread to other gyms and book clubs, infecting 87 people in less than a month.
This example shows well that the path through which the corona spreads is in every corner of our daily life.
You can meet Corona anywhere in your daily life.
The way to reduce the scale of the outbreak is to break the link at each point where the infection spreads.
To do this, it is necessary to reduce daily life and activity radius to as safe a range as possible.
Next week, December 3rd is exam day.
It is a time when citizen cooperation is essential so that test takers who have worked hard and struggled through tough times can safely take the test.
I urge people to take three things to curb the current national pandemic at an early stage.
There is an accumulation of silent radio waves in the community.
If it is not a necessary appointment, cancel the meeting in person and the appointment until the trend is removed.
It becomes difficult to wear a mask when eating or drinking.
Note that infections are spreading without fail in recent situations where masks cannot be used.
Especially those over 65 who are at high risk of infection should refrain from going out.
Second, we recommend that you refrain from visiting closed multipurpose facilities.
Any place that is difficult to ventilate due to the occurrence of many splashes is dangerous anywhere, including sports facilities, religious facilities and schools.
We ask that you do not visit as much as possible.
Please note.
Third, if you have respiratory symptoms such as fever or cough, do not go to work or school and receive an examination immediately at the nearest screening clinic.
In particular, since infections among young people are spreading in public schools and college districts, we ask that you refrain from meeting and getting tested early.
Quarantine authorities will also respond by mobilizing all available capabilities to block further spread.
