The number of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 per day was 167, maintaining the level of 100 for the fourth day.

Although the spread is slowing, sporadic infections large and small have continued in various places and quarantine authorities are unable to release tensions.

In particular, due to the severe shortage of beds for patients with severe and severe symptoms, adherence to social distancing is more important.

Reporter Baek Jong-gyu reported.

There were 167 new confirmed cases per day.

The domestic outbreaks are 152 people and the entries abroad are 15 people.

On the 27th of last month, the number of confirmed cases per day surpassed 400, and after registering 267 on the 2nd, it has remained in the range of 100 for the fourth day.

The rapid proliferation appears to be over, and the government believes that the effects of strengthening social distancing measures are gradually appearing.

However, there are still more than 20% of cases in which the path of infection has not been identified and it is still too early to alleviate it.

In addition, the number of seriously ill or seriously ill patients increased by 4 per day to 163, the highest since the Corona 19 outbreak in Korea.

The bed shortage problem is also serious, but there are only 4 beds in Seoul where seriously ill patients can be admitted immediately.

In Gyeonggi, Incheon, Daejeon, and Gangwon, treatment beds are not immediately available.

To solve the problem, the government plans to jointly use hospital beds by region through the situation room for all members of the National Medical Center.

In addition, we are securing additional beds and medical staff for seriously ill patients with the cooperation of private general hospitals.

Quarantine authorities once again urged adherence to social distancing so that the number of seriously ill patients does not rise before Chuseok.

The government predicts that if social distancing is practiced by concentrating for just one week, the number of new confirmed cases will decline steadily the next week.
