Entry 2020.12.27 08:08

The spread of coronavirus infection is increasing, with the number of new confirmed cases continuing to the 1000 level two days after the other. The number of deaths per day is 10 to 20 people per day, and the proportion of patients whose route of infection has not been identified also exceeded 28%.

The government held a meeting of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters on the afternoon of the 27th to discuss additional measures, such as adjusting the ‘social distance’. In the case of the metropolitan area, the extension of the current stage 2.5 is weighing, but the improvement of 3 stages cannot be ruled out since the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area has not decreased.

According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters, at 0 o’clock on the 26th, there were 1,132 new confirmed cases. This is a decrease of 109 people from the day before the 25th (1,241 people). However, there is an analysis that the number of examinations on Christmas Day decreased by 27,089 compared to the day of the previous week, and the spread of group infections such as the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul was not reflected.

Starting at 0 o’clock on this day, the number of confirmed cases is expected to decrease somewhat. Quarantine authorities and local governments, such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, accounted for 662 confirmed cases in the middle of 0:00 to 6:00 pm the previous day. The number of confirmed cases decreased by 64 from the 726 counted at the same time the day before, and considering the situation at the weekend, there is a high possibility that fewer confirmed cases will come out than the day before.

The main quarantine indicators are getting worse. On the 25th, 20 more people died a day, bringing the cumulative death toll to 793. The death toll is increasing rapidly, with the death toll increasing by almost 100 in 5 days since the 21st.

The number of cases of unknown infection is close to 30%. The number of cases of infection by unknown route, which registered 27% during four consecutive days from 22 to 25, shot up to 28.6% the day before. About 3 in 10 confirmed cases do not know when and where they were infected, which is an indicator that the “hidden infection” is widespread in the community.
