[사회]The effect of distance remains … the government seems to decide after the weekend

[앵커]

Although the metropolitan area, as well as the entire country, has strengthened social distancing through several steps, the spread of the crown has rarely abated.

The government is expected to increase the distance between this weekend and early next week if the expected effect does not appear.

Reporter Park Hong-gu about the report.

The regional average daily outbreak in the last week was 472.

Social distancing has far exceeded the national level 2.5 upgrade standard of 400 people, but the government has yet to make a decision.

Although there are many patients, we pay attention to the fact that it is not a rapid increase and we are waiting for the effect of social distancing.

It was found that the amount of mobile phone movement, which is used as an indicator of movement and contact, has decreased significantly in the metropolitan area after the strengthening of distancing.

In the middle of last month, from 35.89 million during the two days of the weekend and holidays to 27.6 million, a decrease of 23% in two weeks.

The second pandemic in August showed a similar trend.

The difference in mobile phone traffic amounted to 25% the week before and two weeks after the implementation of remote positioning.

The number of new confirmed cases subsequently increased, but the spread stopped five days later.

So there is a chance that there will be fewer new shoots this time over the weekend.

However, it seems clear that the number of group infections in life has increased and the number of asymptomatic infections has made it more difficult to control than before.

Since the upgrade of government distancing steps greatly limits people’s daily life and economic activities, it seems that the upgrade of 2.5 steps nationwide will be decided with the greatest possible care.

However, if it is determined to be necessary, it is a position where we will quickly level up to block the infection.

Therefore, the tendency to spread this weekend after the SAT will be the biggest variable when deciding whether or not to increase social distancing.
