The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases rose to 950, the highest since the first case in Korea. Quarantine authorities call for strict social distancing and observe quarantine rules, saying that if the current spread cannot be broken, the upgrade to the third stage is inevitable. Connect reporters. Reporter Shin Hyun-jun! The spread shows no signs of abating. The number of new confirmed cases increased from 600 to 900 the day before, right? As of today at 0 o’clock, there are 950 brand new cases of Corona 19. 261 more than the day before. There are more than 909 people on February 29, which was the peak of the first pandemic, and is the highest since January 20, when the first Corona 19 patient occurred. The number of confirmed cases was around 100 at the beginning of last month, but it has skyrocketed nearly 10 times in a month. As for the route of infection, there were 928 people in Korea and 22 people from abroad. By region, the number of domestic outbreaks was 669 in the metropolitan area, including 359 in Seoul, 268 in Gyeonggi, and 42 in Incheon. In the non-metropolitan area, Busan is the largest with 58. Then there were 36 in Gangwon, 35 in Daegu, 23 in Ulsan, 21 in Chungbuk, 19 in Gyeongbuk, 18 in Daejeon and 17 in Gyeongnam. New patients arrived from 16 provinces across the country, except Jeju. 12 of 22 confirmed entries abroad were confirmed during the quarantine stage. The number of deaths increased from 6 to 578 and the number of seriously ill patients increased from 10 to 179. As the number of preventive tests increased, the number of tests per day yesterday was 38,000, an increase of 5,300 from the previous day, and the positive rate increased by 0.39% to 2.46%. As the number of confirmed cases increases, quarantine authorities are also in more trouble. Quarantine authorities see this third pandemic as a serious situation that far exceeded the first pandemic in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in February and March and the second pandemic in the metropolitan area in August and September. The problem is that despite the fact that social distancing has been raised on the 8th, the effect has not yet appeared. It is an analysis that people feel tired as social distancing drags on. This is reflected in the fact that mobile phone traffic in the metropolitan area last weekend increased 0.6% compared to the previous week. The government established three weeks as an intensive inspection period starting next week and proposed measures such as preventive expansion of inspections. However, asymptomatic infections are widespread in the metropolitan area, and quarantine authorities are exacerbating their difficulties in the winter when the virus is active. Quarantine authorities have warned that if the current spread cannot be broken, there is no option other than the three-stage upgrade, which means total restrictions on social activities. At the same time, as the third stage left enormous social and economic damage that cannot be compared with the current one, he asked to do everything possible in quarantine in the current stage. Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun will hold an emergency quarantine countermeasure meeting with Minister of Health and Welfare Park Neung-hoo and the head of the metropolitan area at the government building in Seoul starting at 2 p.m., and will check the situation of the third pandemic. The possibility of upgrading to the third stage of the metropolitan area is expected to be reviewed.
