As the spread of the ‘third pandemic’ of a new coronavirus infection in Korea (Corona 19) grows stronger, the number of new confirmed cases is about 1,000 per day.
In the last week, 5 cases in the 1,000-person range have already been confirmed, and this trend is expected to continue for the time being.
In particular, the number of new confirmed patients to be announced on the morning of the 20th is expected to break the record, reaching at least 1,100 and up to 1,200. The previous record was 1.78 on the 16th.
Already exceeding the 3rd stage criteria for ‘social distancing’ (more than 800 to 1,000 people nationwide, or when there is a rapid increase such as double), not only new confirmed patients, but other related indicators, such as critical patients and hospital beds are deteriorating.
For example, quarantine authorities have even issued an administrative order to secure the first bed in critical condition for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak for nursing homes and national university hospitals.
In the midst of this, the government is expected to hold a meeting of the Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters (the main script) chaired by Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun this afternoon to discuss various measures, including the third step away. , and the results are remarkable.
◇ Average daily local outbreak in the last week of 949 … Infection in a nursing facility / hospital group
According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Daebon), at 0 o’clock the day before, there were 1.53 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea.
After the last 16-18 days (1.78 → 1.14 → 1.62), it surpassed the 1,000 mark for four consecutive days.
During the last week (13 / 12-19), 1.30 people per day → 718 people → 880 people → 1.78 people → 1.14 people → 1.64 people (corrected from 1.62 people) → 1 There were 1,533 people, an average of 976.7 people per day.
The number of confirmed cases of regional outbreaks that quarantine authorities use as a key indicator of the distance stage adjustment during this period is 1,000 people → 682 people → 848 people → 1.53 people → 993 people → 1.38 people → 1.29 people, a daily average of 949 people. Reached.
The size of confirmed cases is also large, but the recent outbreak of outbreaks shows serious signs of danger everywhere.
The most notable is that the extent of the non-metropolitan area is gradually increasing following the metropolitan area.
Among the confirmed cases of local outbreaks the day before, a total of 337 people were in the non-metropolitan area, representing 32.8% of the total.
This is the largest and the first record of 300 people since the ‘first pandemic’ in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in February and March.
It is also a matter of concern that cases of infection continue to occur in nursing homes and nursing homes, where there are many elderly patients or patients with chronic diseases.
In the case of core group infections, after the first confirmed cases (indicator patients) occurred on the 17th at the True Love Nursing Home in Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do, a lot of infection cases were confirmed, focusing on contacts, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 61.
Furthermore, the outbreak started at St. Mary Hospital in Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, and led to Somang Hospital in Eumseong-gun, where a total of 58 people were confirmed.
In addition, ▲ related to nursing hospitals and nursing homes in Guro-gu, Seoul (31 people accumulated) ▲ Nursing hospitals in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do (134 people) ▲ Nursing hospitals in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi- do, etc.

◇ The number of confirmed cases is likely to increase due to preventive inspection in the metropolitan area Pay attention to the results of today’s script conference
The number of new confirmed cases announced at 0 o’clock today is expected to be at least 1,100.
According to quarantine authorities and local governments such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a total of 870 new confirmed cases were recorded as of 9 p.m. the previous day.
These statistics do not include the 185 group infection cases at the East Seoul Detention Center, where former President Lee Myung-bak is incarcerated. Adding this case to only 1.55 people.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said the previous day that the case of group infection in Dongbu Detention Center has not yet been entered into the patient statistics system and that an epidemiological investigation is being prepared.
Quarantine authorities previously predicted on the 14th that “the number of new confirmed cases may reach between 950 and 1,200,” but there is a possibility that there are actually 1,100 to 1,200 confirmed cases.
Meanwhile, the number of confirmed cases is very likely to increase for the time being, as preventive tests are being carried out through temporary screening tests in the metropolitan area.
Given this situation, the government is constantly struggling with the three-step upgrade.
If you go up to the third stage, there is a strong tendency that some 220,000 facilities nationwide are closed or limited in operation, so it will be decided with the greatest possible care.
Young-rae Sohn, head of the Accident Control Headquarters Strategic Planning Division, said in a recent briefing that “(the third step) the goal is to stop the outbreak without promotion.”
With this, some observers say that the measure of the ‘third stage-α’ is coming out, which partially adjusted the third stage of the quarantine measures.
In fact, the government is reported to be in internal discussions with related ministries and experts on ways to allow the sale of basic necessities such as markets and convenience stores, but limit the number of admission and allow only packaging and delivery from restaurants and coffees.
The government is monitoring the trend of confirmed cases this weekend and holidays.
This is because the effect can appear as the amount of movement in the metropolitan area gradually decreases when comparing before and after the distance step update.
The number of confirmed cases this weekend and holidays is an important variable that will determine the quarantine during the end of the year and New Year holidays.
Prime Minister Chung said: “This weekend will be an important turning point in deciding whether or not to adjust the distance level,” and urged everyone to actively practice ‘participatory quarantine’ through a speech at the main main conference chaired the previous day at the Seoul Government Complex.
