Yesterday there were 450 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea. It fell below 500 in four days, but it appears that the number of diagnostic tests had little effect over the weekend. The government plans to discuss whether to raise the level of ‘social distancing’ in the afternoon. Connect with reporters. Reporter Kim Hye-eun! Did the number of new confirmed cases fall below 500 in four days? Yes, yesterday there were 450 new cases. There were fewer than 50 people in a day, but on the weekends there seems to be a decrease in diagnostic tests. The number of inspections over the weekend was reduced by approximately 7,000 compared to the day of the previous week. The number of confirmed cases in the region was 413, two days in a row, a record of 400 and 37 confirmed entries abroad. By region, more than half occurred in the metropolitan area, including 146 in Seoul, 95 in Gyeonggi and 22 in Incheon. There are consistently confirmed cases in regions outside the capital, including 21 in Busan and 20 in Chungbuk, and 19 in Gangwon and Jeonnam. Of the 37 confirmed entries abroad, 17 were confirmed during the quarantine stage. One more person died from Corona 19, and the cumulative death toll rose to 523. The number of severe gastric patients decreased by 2 to a total of 76. Are you discussing whether the government will increase social distancing today? Yes, we are holding a meeting of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters at 3pm this afternoon, chaired by Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun. We will discuss ways to increase the distance between the metropolitan area to 2.5 steps, or to apply 1.5 steps or 2 steps collectively at the national level. After the meeting, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun will directly announce measures to strengthen the quarantine around 4:30 p.m. In the last week, the average number of confirmed cases of local outbreaks per day was rented to 400 people, so it has already reached the level of 2.5 national standards. However, if you upgrade to stage 2.5, it is difficult to raise the stage due to the great economic impact of SMEs. Quarantine authorities have recently taken a cautious stance, saying that over-rushing the distancing step has side effects. The government is expected to discuss ways to partially adjust quarantine measures to suit regional conditions after upgrading to stage 1.5 or stage 2.
