On the 29th, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun will announce the results of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters at a press conference to overcome Crown 19 held at the Sejong-daero government building. The government has decided to maintain the second stage of social distancing in the metropolitan area in relation to the third Corona 19 pandemic, but to prohibit the operation of sauna and steam facilities with a high risk of group infection. News 1
As the third pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the stage of social distancing will be higher than before from day 1 of next month. In the case of the metropolitan area, the level of the second level is maintained, but the operation of facilities such as saunas, indoor sports facilities, academies and training centers is partially suspended. The place decided to actively promote the upgrade of the second stage.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said at a press conference after presiding over a meeting of the Security Countermeasures and Disaster Headquarters for Corona 19 Response on the 29th, “Citizens should enter the quarantine posture of Corona 19. The quarantine agent is the people, ”he said. The following are questions and answers.
-Many experts pointed out that the 2.5 steps to increase the distance to the metropolitan area were necessary, but the reason for the decision to keep the second step is.
“First, we argued with the local governments, and each central government department also had different opinions and we adjusted the disagreement centered on the Director of Disease Management for 2-3 days. In addition to the size of confirmed patients, the medical system that can handle seriously ill patients, the age group composition of confirmed patients, and the probability of developing severity in the future are used as auxiliary indicators when adjusting the distance stage. In the case of Seoul, instead of uniformly adjusting the stages, it is a critical scenario to minimize the damage to people’s daily lives through a ‘precise quarantine’ adapted to the situation while reaping all the effects of the quarantine. .
-Local governments that are considered high risk are elevated to the second stage. Where are the high risk local governments identified by the current script?
“Jeonbuk, Gyeongnam, and Gangwon-do. Depending on the basic municipality, there are about 10 locations across the country, and the Korean Disease Administration has consulted on a large scale and recommended (upgrade second stage). “
-Among the measures to reinforce the quarantine, it is said, ‘We ban events or parties during the end of the year and New Year holidays that are held in hotels, party halls and guest houses.’
“Instead of being mandatory, it is considered that if local governments and related companies are well protected through the process of communication and cooperation with each other, the results of the quarantine will be achieved.
-Vaccine acquisition plan
“Basically, the target number reported at the last state council meeting was 30 million people, starting with 10 million people at the Kovacs facility. On how to acquire the vaccine, the Agency is now consulting with the provider involved. There is no definitive 100% supply guarantee when making a vaccine contract. In some cases, even if he’s doing well in Phase 3, he can be defeated in the final stage. May not be successful.In this case, there may be cases where only the prepayment is paid and the vaccines are not provided. Consequently, the government does not select one or two partners to buy the vaccine, but tries to spread the risk by distributing it. In some cases, it is necessary to hire a higher amount than necessary to be prepared just in case. We are in consultation with a world-class vaccine manufacturer who can provide a comprehensive review of these areas. What has been confirmed so far has 30 million people. And I’m trying the idea that it would be better to get a little more quantity there. National biological companies are actively conducting research activities to produce vaccines, and the government is providing the necessary support, countermeasures and measures for clinical trials. Since the availability of vaccine manufacturers in Korea is likely to be significantly delayed, efforts are underway to receive the necessary quantities from vaccine manufacturers such as the United States and Europe before then. Since the negotiations are not over, I will report the results if I have a little more time. As soon as this week, or at the latest next week, I will be able to report in detail how the government’s efforts are going. There have been reports that point to clinical problems with AstraZeneca, one of the vaccines. It is a problem of solution and the timing of delivery may be delayed a bit, but we do not expect it to be such a conclusive problem. “
-When will the volume of insured vaccines enter?
“There are many vaccine manufacturers around the world and they are coordinating pricing conditions and delivery times. This supply must be kept at very low temperatures. Also, once supplied, it can only be used for a certain period of time and cannot be stored any longer. Since there are many complex factors, we are trying to lead the negotiations on the most favorable terms in consideration of this. Since we are negotiating with several places, the time may be delayed. Furthermore, I cannot tell you in advance until the results of the negotiations are fully clarified. If you inform the public of a fluid situation and do not make it a reality, the confidence of the government may be compromised. Be patient and wait a bit. There are 30 million people who report to the Council of State and want to secure the budget. Even if 30 million people are booked for this vaccine and a supply promise is received, if there is a failed supply line, the supply will be reduced. With that in mind, we are making efforts to insure and contract a little because we can get more than 60% of the vaccines we originally thought of if we insured our people a little more.
-The ruling party said it is trying to secure a vaccine for 44 million people.
“That is not an unfounded statement, but it is not the government’s final draft. So, I just want you to refer to him. “
-Some point out that the third disaster grant is needed.
“The government is also deciding now that the third disaster grant is needed. Since the ruling and opposition parties are issuing their opinions on the third disaster grant, the government will also consult with the opposition parties and conclude that so that good results can be obtained through the preliminary committee. “
-What are the prospects for future infection trends?
(Jung Eun-kyung, Director of the Disease Administration) “It is a very unfavorable condition. It is a situation where the time for indoor activities is long because it has entered the winter season. The sauna, indoor sports facilities, and table tennis court, which are popular today, are all sealed inside, so aren’t they places where you can exercise for a long time without wearing a mask? There are dangers in the winter season and many meetings are scheduled during the New Years and New Years holidays. If we cannot control both, the risk may spread a little more, and if we do not control the outbreak in this situation, we have to go one step further, the damage to people or to the national level is so great. In the situation, it is a very important moment to break this epidemic stage and block its spread. It is an absolutely important time to observe the quarantine regulations until the end of the year ”.
