According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 13th, the number of new patients confirmed at 0 o’clock on the day was 1030, an increase of 80 compared to the previous day (950).
In the past week, the number of new confirmed cases was around 500-600 until the day before, but jumped from 700 to 800 the day before and immediately shot up to 900. As of the 6th, the number was 577 → 631 → 615 → 592 → 671 → 680 → 689 → 950 people per day.
The reason the increase in confirmed cases is not slowing down is that the scale of infections in existing outbreak cases using daily space as a link is increasing by the day. This is because the ‘latent infection’ spread in Seoul and the Gyeonggi area has spread to a large-scale group infection, such as the Seongseok Church in Gangseo-gu, Seoul and the Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon. -Yes, Gyeonggi-do. Furthermore, it is markedly different from the last 1st and 2nd epidemics in that there is also a new pattern of infection that spreads throughout everyday life without a core group.
Taking into account that on the 8th the distance of 2.5 steps began in the metropolitan area and the effect of distancing appears 7 days later, it is expected that the effect of 2.5 steps will be confirmed next week. However, with the number of new confirmed cases exceeding 1,000 on this day, the government’s three-stage update is expected to be inevitable.
In fact, quarantine authorities are considering increasing the distance in three steps and are in the process of preparing measures. The quarantine authorities decided to install 150 temporary screening clinics next week in the metropolitan area in order to disperse recently increased diagnostic tests and to detect asymptomatic or mildly infected people early.
If social distancing is elevated to the last stage, stage 3, more than 500,000 facilities are expected to have to be closed across the country, resulting in enormous social and economic damage. It is a measure close to the “daily closing”. The main objective is to assess the spread of Corona 19 as a ‘national pandemic’ and, in principle, to stay home and minimize contact with other people to avoid the risk of the collapse of the medical system.
In the third stage of distancing, virtually all social activities stop. As the strongest quarantine measure there is, it kicks in when the number of confirmed cases doubles per day more than once in a week. In accordance with quarantine guidelines, all exits, gatherings and operation of multipurpose facilities other than “essential social and economic activities” are prohibited.
All indoor and outdoor gatherings, gatherings, and events with 10 or more are prohibited, and all elementary, middle, and high schools and kindergartens must be moved to remote classes or closed. It is also recommended that private companies work from home, excluding essential personnel. The ceremony cannot be held in the wedding hall, and all entertainment bars, karaoke rooms, PC rooms, and cafes designated by the government as high-risk facilities must be stopped.
