As the number of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19) reached 950, the pros and cons surrounding the introduction of the third stage of social distancing preemptively are mixed.
At the emergency quarantine countermeasures meeting chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on the 12th, Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong suggested that “it is necessary to preventively raise the social distancing in the metropolitan area to three stages” .
Prime Minister Jeong revealed traces of distress, saying: “If we cannot break the current spread, it will be inevitable to increase the distance to three stages.” Prime Minister Jeong instructed the Center for Prevention Prevention (Bang Dae-bon) focused on the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) and the Central Accident Control Center (Heavy-soo-bon ) under the direction of the Ministry of Health and Welfare to collect opinions from local governments and private experts in the metropolitan area on distance adjustment.
Step 3 is the strongest prescription in the government’s response to COVID-19. This is the last card used when Corona 19 is spreading across the country and the crisis of medical collapse.
It can be used in a duplication situation where the average number of confirmed patients per week reaches 800-1000 or the number of patients doubles rapidly. Currently, the average number of confirmed cases in the region for a week is around 662. Looking at the numbers alone, it is not enough to declare the third stage at this time, but if this trend continues, concerns will inevitably deepen.
Entering the third stage also has a great social and economic impact. In phase 2.5, there are 130,000 installations that are discontinued, but in phase 3, it exceeds 500,000.
First, 5 kinds of entertainment facilities, such as clubs, which were closed in step 2.5, direct sales promotion rooms, such as door-to-door sales, karaoke rooms, indoor standing show rooms and indoor sports facilities , are still suspended. The academy must also be closed. Wedding halls, cinemas, show rooms, PC rooms, game rooms, reading rooms, study cafes, amusement parks, beauty salons and department stores, which operated partially on the condition of reducing the number of people who entered and limit business hours, they are not open either.
In addition, the operation of all national and public facilities is also suspended, regardless of the interior or exterior division. Sports games also come to a complete stop and school classes are converted into distance classes. In the case of institutions and companies, other than essential personnel, they must work from home.
However, it is recommended to close or close social welfare facilities, including day care centers, but emergency care services are maintained.
Government and public institutions, industrial water, electricity, power facilities, residential accommodation facilities such as Gosiwon, hotels and motels, general restaurants and rest restaurants, stores such as marts, supermarkets, retail stores and bakeries, funeral homes and hospital facilities are also They operate in the third phase. In addition, restrictions on the number of users and hours of operation and quarantine rules are tightened. Restaurants can only be packed and delivered after 9pm
