There were 1,241 new cases of coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in one day. It also reached the highest. Steps 2 ~ 2.5 away do not receive force. Government ministries and 17 cities and provinces across the country began to discuss whether to expand their distance. Separately, the script will be in effect until January 3 of next year.

1006 patients per week on average

According to the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters, the number of new corona19 patients increased by 1,241 at 0:00 on the 25th. This is the highest since domestic ‘Patient # 1’ was confirmed on January 20. Due to this effect, the average number of new patients per day during the last week (December 19-25) registered 1005.9. Regarding the number of patients, it meets the criterion of the three steps (800-1000 or more), which is the last stage of distancing.

The average daily number of patients in the metropolitan area reached 697.1 during the same period. Among them, 30.1% (209.9 patients) represented the proportion of elderly patients aged 60 years or older who are at high risk of deterioration due to severe severity. There are 40 beds in the metropolitan area that can be used immediately by critically ill Corona 19 patients starting at 9 am the day before (24). The spread outside the metropolitan area is also not serious. In the case of the Chungcheong area, the average number of confirmed patients per week during the last week was 85.3. This is more than double that of the Honam area (40.4 people). In the Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam regions, there were 68 and 66, respectively. Representative tourist destinations, Gangwon 24.9 and Jeju 24.1, each showed patients.

Group infection cycles continue across the country

According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters, it is analyzed as the effect of large-scale group infection. There were 297 additional patients in the Dongbu Detention Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul alone. In addition, there were 32 more patients related to group infection at a food store and restaurant in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do. Furthermore, it is mainly spreading to nursing homes, nursing homes, religious facilities, and workplaces.

Yoon Tae-ho, head of the Accident Control Headquarters, said in a regular briefing on the 25th: “It is positive that the surge has been repressed and suppressed up to within 1,000 people.”

Great script “Very important for next week”

The heavy script operates a special quarantine period from the 24th to the 3rd of next year to reverse the spread. “From now on, about a week is a very important time,” Yun said.

In the script, steps 2 to 2.5 away across the country were applied starting at 0 o’clock on the 8th. As it ends at midnight on the 28th, we are discussing whether to extend it. The possibility of moving to the third stage, which is actually a ‘shutdown’ in the current situation, is said to be small due to the difficulty of securing beds. There is a high probability of maintaining the current state (stage 2.5 in the metropolitan area, stage 2 in the non-metropolitan area). If the level is lowered, you can give the public a false signal to ease their vigilance.

In a regular briefing on the 25th, Sohn Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Team, responded to a question from a group of reporters: ‘Don’t you exceed the three-step standard? The question of whether or not the two medical competencies (the incidence rate of patients) can be followed is very important ”, he explained.

He added: “The capabilities to control infections, such as active patient detection, still remain,” he added. “Additionally, medical capabilities also make it possible to provide more stable treatment, such as securing beds.” Furthermore, Son said, “the period of special quarantine measures during the end of the year and the New Year period is expected to be very important.” Help us turn the current impressive phase into a downstream phase where the expansion trend is changing. ”
