Consequently, attention is also drawn to the actions that will change if the remote positioning is upgraded to three stages.

Prime Minister Chung said in a speech at the emergency quarantine countermeasures meeting he chaired at the Seoul Government Complex on the afternoon of that day: “If we cannot break the current spread, it will be inevitable to raise the distance to the third stage”. Accordingly, the government is expected to thoroughly examine the three-stage update. Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, who attended the meeting, suggested that “it is necessary to preventively increase the distance to the metropolitan area to three stages.”

Currently, Seoul and the metropolitan area are in stage 2.5 away, and the rest of the area is in the second stage. Step 2.5 is preparing for a national pandemic and step 3 is preparing for a national pandemic.

The government is reviewing the update in three stages in cases where the average number of domestic patients per week in the country is more than 800-1000 per week, or if the number of confirmed cases continues to double. In addition, the weekly average of confirmed or seriously ill patients in the bed capacity 60 years and older, the epidemiological investigation capacity, the infection reproduction rate (an indicator of how many people are transferred to a confirmed person), the Group infection occurrence status and unconfirmed infection route rate are assessed as a supplement. .

The key indicator, the average number of patients per week per week, is 928 patients (occurring nationwide) in 12 days, so it does not meet the requirements, but an analysis suggests that the government can take preventive measures to as the sense of crisis increases as the number of confirmed cases per day approaches 1,000.

Meetings or events with more than 10 people are not allowed. All non-essential multi-use facilities, such as restaurants, stores, and medical institutions, will be suspended.

In the third stage, restaurants or cafes will limit the number of guests to 1 for every 8㎡. Coffees are only allowed for packing or delivery, as in step 2.5. As at present, restaurants can only be packed and delivered after 9 p.m. Wedding halls must be closed and funeral halls can only be attended by families. The steam room and sauna in the public bath cannot be opened and, as now, the number of guests is limited to one per 16 square meters.

Cinemas, show rooms, PC rooms, entertainment rooms and multiple rooms are prohibited. The academy is closed as now, and the reading room and study cafe cannot be opened. The same is true for large-scale stores, such as amusement parks, use rooms, beauty salons, and department stores. Five entertainment facilities, including clubs and lounge lounges, are not yet available, and door-to-door sales remain the same.

Public institutions and private companies are obliged to work from home in addition to the required personnel. The sports game stops and the school switches to distance learning. Only one person is allowed to video worship in religious facilities. It is recommended to close or close day care centers, regional children’s centers, wellness centers for the elderly, the elderly party, and day and night protection facilities for the elderly. However, emergency care services are maintained.

On the 13th, the government decided to confirm and announce a specific plan to secure a hospital bed and vital treatment center at a major conference chaired by Prime Minister Chung. Prime Minister Chung decided to chair the daily deed meeting, which was held three times a week, to deal with bed and quarantine conditions.
