Yesterday there were 450 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea. Although it fell below 500 in four days, the number of diagnostic tests dropped significantly because it was the weekend. The government plans to discuss later whether to increase the level of “social distancing”. 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. The number of diagnostic tests decreased by approximately 50 in one day, but the number of diagnostic tests decreased by approximately 7,000 over the weekend. It can be estimated if it is due to the impact of raising social distancing to the second stage last week when there is no so-called ‘weekend effect’ around this Tuesday. The number of confirmed local outbreaks was 413, registering a record of 400 for two consecutive days, 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. Even in the non-metropolitan area, there were confirmed cases, including 21 in Busan and 20 in Chungbuk, but they continue to appear in daily life, such as sauna, acquaintance meetings and kimchi gatherings. 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. As the number of confirmed cases continues to rise, the government is discussing whether or not to raise the stage of social distancing in a moment. Yes, after a while, the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters meeting will be held at the Seoul Government Complex at 3pm. It will be chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, and around 4:30 p.m. after the meeting, Prime Minister Chung will directly announce measures to strengthen the quarantine. 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. The average number of new confirmed cases per day in the last week is 416, which has already reached the level 2.5 update standard. Upgrading to step 2.5 prohibits activities such as door-to-door sales and suspends operations such as singing practice centers and indoor sports facilities, causing inevitable social and economic harm. For this reason, there are observations that in the case of the Seoul metropolitan area, measures will be taken to strengthen the quarantine in some areas while maintaining the distancing stage. In the case of the non-metropolitan area, it is expected to discuss ways to partially adjust the quarantine measures to adapt them to each regional situation after updating to 1.5 or 2 stages for each region.
