[앵커]

The number of new confirmed cases of corona 19 registered 970, a slight decrease to triple digits in three days.

The government decided to extend step 2.5 in the metropolitan area and step 2 in the non-metropolitan area until the 3rd of the following month to observe the corona outbreak.

First, reporter Seung-yoon Lee reports.

The number of new confirmed cases of corona19 was 970, compared to 1,241 two days ago, the highest in history.

However, with 656 people, more than half of the metropolitan area, the spread shows no signs of slowing down.

There were 15 additional deaths, all 60 years or older, with 67% over 80 years.

The problem is that in the last two weeks, 28.5% of the cases where the route of infection was unknown.

The widespread spread of “hidden infections” in local communities is revealing the limits of quarantine measures.

Although the pressure to increase the distance is increasing, the government has decided to extend the distance between stage 2.5 in the metropolitan area and the second stage in the non-metropolitan area until the 3rd of next month.

Step 3 is actually a strong measure equivalent to a lockdown, and can be interpreted as cautious, as huge social and economic damage is expected.

For fast food restaurants that have caused equity controversy, packing and delivery are only allowed when only coffee, drinks and desserts are ordered, as is the case with bakery and brunch cafes.

Non-metropolitan areas are also subject to a ban on sitting in unstaffed cafes, which was applied only in the metropolitan area, and a ban on meeting in “hold’em” pubs while drinking and playing cards.
