While the spread of Corona 19 has not abated, the government has decided to extend the current distancing step by two weeks, but extend the ban on ‘gatherings with more than 5 people’ across the country. Today, the number of new confirmed cases has dropped below 1,000 due to the holiday effect, but one more person has been confirmed infected with the mutant virus abroad, increasing anxiety. We will connect reporters to learn more details. Reporter Go Han-seok! Did the government decide to extend the ban on private gatherings for more than 5 people across the country that applied to the metropolitan area? With the current social distancing measures and special quarantine measures for the end of the year and the end of the year that ends tomorrow, the government announced new measures that will be applied the day after tomorrow. The current distance between stage 2.5 of the existing metropolitan area and the second stage of the non-metropolitan area will extend for two weeks from the day after tomorrow until the 17th. This is a judgment that takes into account the fact that strengthening the distancing stage will have a greater impact on the economy of ordinary people, and that quarantine and medical response capabilities have been maintained until now. Instead, the ban on private meetings with more than 5 people, which had been applied so far in the metropolitan area, will be extended to the entire country. In addition to banning gatherings of more than 5 people in restaurants across the country, you cannot meet with more than 5 people at all private gatherings, such as drinking parties, New Years parties, and housewarming. However, if families with the same living space meet, weddings, funerals, etc., more than 5 people can meet. However, even in this case, only 49 people are allowed in the metropolitan area where the distance is step 2.5, and 99 people are allowed in the area where the second step is implemented. The 2.5-step distance from religious facilities will be expanded across the country. All religious activities, such as worship, mass, and court gatherings, must be conducted in a non-face-to-face manner across the country, and gatherings and meals hosted by religious facilities are prohibited. On the other hand, there are some mitigations. The meeting of schools in the metropolitan area was prohibited, but they can be operated if the number of teachers is 9 or less due to the gap in attention during the holidays. Winter sports facilities such as ski resorts are also allowed to operate, but the size of the entrance must be limited to 1/3 of the capacity and must close after 9pm Another person confirmed with a mutant virus from the UK? Tell us the new confirmation status today. As of 0:00 today, there are 824 new cases. The day before it was 1,029, which was triple digits, but in one day it fell to 800. It’s hard to say that the spread of Corona 19 has slowed down because the number of people who have undergone sample testing has dropped due to the effect of the New Year holidays. Notably, the cumulative number of confirmed cases rose to 9 as 4 confirmed cases of mutant virus originating from the UK were added. Three in four are relatives of 80-year-old men who were diagnosed as ‘confirmed after death’ on the 26th of last month. One of them was confirmed to have entered Korea in November and visited local markets and beauty salons. As a result of an epidemiological investigation, there have been no infected persons among the contacts, but concerns remain about the spread of the mutant virus to the community. Patients infected with the South African mutant virus have also been identified for the first time. This is a patient who entered South Africa on the 26th of last month and was confirmed during the entry quarantine process.
