The government emphasized that Corona 19 is on the brink of national expansion and has further increased the distance to the metropolitan area to 2.5 steps.

In addition, the non-metropolitan area has risen to the second stage, and the spread has increased, with an average of confirmed cases exceeding 500 per week in the last week.

The government held an important script meeting chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun and increased the distance to the metropolitan area to 2.5 steps.

In the non-metropolitan area, we have also upgraded it to the second stage.

This measure will take effect on the 8th, and three weeks until the 28th have been declared a special quarantine period.

In the last 20 days, the government has improved its distancing measures three times from step 1.5 to step 2 + α, but there was no effect.

In the last week, the average number of domestic patients per day was 514, of which 375 came from the metropolitan area, and the cumulative number of patients in Seoul exceeded 10,000.

Even on weekends, when the number of tests decreased from weekdays, 631 new patients were registered, of which the metropolitan area accounted for the majority with 470.

The spread of the Busan Gyeongnam and Chungcheong areas, including 34 in Busan, 15 in Gyeongnam, 14 in Chungnam and 13 in Chungcheongbuk-do, is also sickening.

The number of seriously ill patients increased from 4 to 125 and 5 deaths, resulting in 545 cumulative deaths.

The government said Corona 19 has entered a full-blown pandemic and is about to expand nationwide, emphasizing that this 2.5-stage measure is the last stronghold just before the full third-stage restriction.
