The government will announce whether to extend the ‘Social Distance Step 2.5’ in the metropolitan area, which is scheduled to end on the 6th, at 11am on the 4th.
The Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures (competitive script) discusses issues related to the distancing of the metropolitan area on the meeting agenda. The results of the meeting will be revealed by Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy head of the script of the company (Minister of Health and Welfare) through a briefing at 11 am.
The government raised the quarantine level in the metropolitan area to 2.5 levels from the 30th to the 6th of last month, as the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) has spread rapidly in the metropolitan area since the middle of last month. In fact, it is a measure equivalent to the upgrade in three steps.
As a result of government measures, general restaurants, breakout restaurants and bakeries in the metropolitan area were banned from using the store from 9 pm to 5 pm the next day, and only packing and delivery were allowed. In the case of franchise-type coffees, only packing and delivery was allowed regardless of business hours. Indoor sports facilities such as a gym, billiards room and golf driving range were also suspended. Worship in person in church was forbidden.
The number of new corona-confirmed patients19 fell to the level of the last 100 the day before. On the 3rd, the day before, 148 new confirmed cases came out. Compared to what was once shot at 400 people, the spread is somewhat slower. Consequently, the expectation was raised that the quarantine measures would be relaxed somewhat.
However, it is pointed out that it is still too early to soften the second stage of distancing. This is because quarantine authorities aim to control fewer than 100 new cases per day so that the medical response system and the quarantine network can handle it. Furthermore, the triple-digit number of new confirmed cases has held up through the third week and the number of seriously ill patients is increasing rapidly, making it unsafe. With the Chuseok holidays later this month, the need to stabilize the situation earlier is also a concern for quarantine authorities.
