[사회]Starting tomorrow, the Seoul metropolitan area will upgrade to the second stage … focusing on preventative measures to block the spread.

[앵커]

As the national Corona 19 outbreak intensified, the government decided to increase the distance between the metropolitan area from 1.5 to 2 and Honam from 1 to 1.5.

It is a measure to reverse the growth trend of patients and preventively block the winter pandemic before the SAT exam on December 3, but it is noted that it is not easy to detect the spread in a short time.

As the spread of COVID-19 increased, with more than 300 new corona19 confirmed over 5 consecutive days, the government finally decided to improve the distance between the metropolitan area and the Honam area.

In the metropolitan area, the distance from 0 o’clock on the 24th to midnight on December 7 is increased from step 1.5 to step 2, and in the Honam area from step 1 to step 1.5.

This is a measure to reverse the growth trend of patients and preventively block the winter pandemic before the SAT exam scheduled for December 3.

In fact, as of the 20th, there are 300 patients nationwide and 200 patients in the metropolitan area every day, and the spread of Corona 19 in the metropolitan area is unstoppable.

From the second stage of remote planning, business operations such as entertainment bars are prohibited and restaurants can only pack and deliver after 9pm

However, experts predict that it is not easy to prevent the spread of Corona 19 in a short time, even if you upgrade to stage 2.

This is because, in addition to the seasonal factors that enter the winter season, it is difficult to control the aftermath of a collective outbreak that links everyday spaces such as schools, academies, religious facilities and small groups.

To take the lead in the public sector, the government canceled or postponed unnecessary meetings and business trips and forced a third of employees to work from home.

He also recommended the same action for the private sector.
