Sook-young Lim, head of the general manager of situation Bang Dae-bon, in a regular briefing on the day, said: “We regret the position of the quarantine authorities because most of the new patients have been produced.” I’m doing it, “he explained.
Bang Dae-bon predicted that there could be 900 confirmed cases in the future. The effect of the 2.5 steps of social distancing introduced on day 8 is that it takes approximately one week after implementation. “Social distancing step 2.5 was introduced, but it was found that the amount of movement was not reduced enough,” said Lim, General Manager of Situation. “Because the distancing effect of distance didn’t show up enough, this number (900 people) continued to occur for the time being. I carefully predict whether I will.”
Regarding the issue of raising social distancing to three stages, he said: “First, I will pay close attention to the situation (if the effect of 2.5 stages appears) and discuss with the relevant ministries if necessary.” He emphasized: “Still, the spread of Corona 19 infection continues due to face-to-face contact between meetings and acquaintances. Please stay in a safe home and cancel all face-to-face meetings.”

At the same time, he cited “securing the bed” as the top priority. As the number of confirmed patients increased, 254 in Gyeonggi, 189 in Seoul and 28 in Incheon were not assigned at 0 o’clock.
