The government called for the cooperation of individual citizens in quarantine, saying it is important to stop the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in the current state without raising the level of ‘social distancing’.
Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy head of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (Minister of Health and Welfare), said in a regular briefing on the 20th: “Please be patient and participate a little more so that we can break the spread of the current level without increasing the distance to the third stage. ”
Since the number of new confirmed cases has reached the three-stage range (more than 800 to 1,000 people nationwide, or a rapid increase in patients such as doubling), the government is discussing plans to raise three stages with the relevant ministries. But he is concerned about socioeconomic damage and has maintained a cautious stance. to have.
The deputy deputy deputy general Park said: “We are discussing in depth every day how to implement the effective and efficient distancing that we can take between the central government and the local governments and within the central government.”
He added: “Looking at the three steps (response measures) set by the government, a significant part, for example, includes stopping not only services but also manufacturing sectors that produce production,” he said.
“This has a huge ripple effect on our economy, and if it can be avoided, we are assuming a state that must be avoided,” he said. “Without knowing this, surprisingly there are many people who insist on the third stage of banning eating in restaurants.” .
“It’s actually a very serious step,” he explained again, saying, “The situation itself assumes a process or state in which our entire economic process is substantially paralyzed or stopped.”
Deputy General Manager Park said: “Since the number of confirmed cases has increased a lot now, a more reinforced distancing step is needed, and since the current step is 2.5, I don’t think the mechanical argument that it should go to step 3 is not very convincing.
He said: “I think there should be more discussion about whether people know enough about the reality of the third stage and if they are preparing for it.” “No.”
Deputy Assistant General Manager Park 1 emphasized that “even if the distance is further strengthened, daily life itself, such as shopping for necessities, will remain.”
Sohn Young-rae, Head of the Strategic Planning Division, Accident Control Headquarters, said: “Step 3 is not a step to enforce social quarantine like steps 2 and 2.5, but the final step to ensure that all people are in the house as much as possible, except those who are essential parts of the business. “Therefore, rather than suddenly announcing it, we will continue to inform the discussion topics and make decisions and implement them while ensuring national consent, preparedness and participation,” he said.
Sohn reiterates that the three-stage quarantine measures are also being refined to fit the trend. As Corona 19 is spreading in daily life, as family members and acquaintances, we are working on more precise quarantine responses to adapt to the current situation.
He said: “The measures that prohibit gatherings of 10 or more people, even smaller smaller groups like 5 or more, and restaurants and cafes allow eating in stores until 9 o’clock, but the problem of turning this rule into ‘ take-out ‘not at all. “We are discussing measures such as allowing the area to sell basic necessities and applying a ban on meetings in stores that are not related to daily necessities,” he explained.
