© News1 Many analyzes say that the number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) must drop to double digits this week in order to safely pass the Chuseok holiday in the next three weeks.
Since the timeline for step 2 (step 2.5) of the enhanced social distancing applied to the metropolitan area has been extended by one week, tangible results should appear before the 13th. Otherwise, it may be difficult to properly spend the Chuseok vacation .
◇ Complete script “The number of confirmed cases decreased, but latent infection control was impossible”… The decision was made with the quarantine of the metropolitan area
Currently, quarantine authorities believe that daily confirmed cases of Corona 19 have slipped. However, it was predicted that it would be difficult to fully control asymptomatic or latent infections until the Chuseok holiday. Although total quarantine wars were carried out, such as reinforcing the distancing, they were concerned about large-scale population movements during the Chuseok holiday and additional serial infections caused by asymptomatic infections.
In a briefing on the 6th, Son Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division at Accident Recovery Headquarters, explained: “As remote efforts have been effective, the spread of Corona 19 is being suppressed.” . Although the number of confirmed cases per day has decreased, the rate of unknown infection route still exceeds 20%. According to the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters on the 7th, the daily average number of Corona 19 cases in Korea during the last week of August 30 to September 5 was 218. Compared to 331 people for the week earlier, it was reduced to two thirds.
The government analyzed that the 2.5 distance distancing steps in the metropolitan area, which began on August 16, and the second national distancing step, which began on August 23, have been effective. However, sporadic infections of small groups continue throughout the country. From August 23 to September 5, the daily average number of confirmed patients in the metropolitan area was 208, 71.3 more than 136.7 in the previous two weeks (August 9 to 22).
The proportion of patients who have been investigating the route of infection for the past two weeks also reached 21.3%. The management rate in the quarantine network also registered less than 80%. This means that there is a silent spread throughout the community.
According to the 2.5 steps to keep the distance, measures to allow only packing and delivery in general restaurants, rest restaurants and bakery (21: 00-5: 00 the next day), franchise cafes (all hours), bakeries and ice cream parlors in the metropolitan area until the 13th. maintain.
At midnight on the 6th, there were 167 new cases. Among them, 117 confirmed cases in the metropolitan area. It was 3.3 times more than 35 people in the non-metropolitan area. It is no exaggeration to say that it depends on the quarantine of the metropolitan area whether the number of confirmed patients per day is going to drop to double digits.
“If you implement step 2.5 in the metropolitan area, the number of confirmed cases will decrease until next week,” said Son Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Team.
◇ September 30 to October 4 Special quarantine period during Chuseok holidays … Holiday quarantine measures in place
In addition to social distancing, quarantine authorities have established a separate ‘quarantine countermeasure’ to reduce the occurrence of confirmed cases during the Chuseok holidays. If you look at the details, an advance booking system is operated for visitors to the bonan indoor facility for two weeks before and after the Chuseok holiday (the third week of September to the third week of October), and the ritual hall of the Bonan facility and the family bathroom are closed to prevent eating and drinking indoors. Prohibited.
Quarantine authorities repeatedly requested that they refrain from visiting bonan graves or facilities, and to use the online grave service provided by the “e-Haeul Business Information System” as of September 21. The operator of the sea protection facility appoints a quarantine manager and restricts access to visitors without masks.
Beolcho recommended using the agency services provided by the Forest Cooperatives and Agricultural Cooperatives. If you are mowing the lawn yourself, you should minimize the number of attendees and refrain from eating and drinking to avoid crowded days and times.
Previously, quarantine authorities also prepared quarantine measures taking into account the movement of the population in Chuseok. Train tickets are sold only at the window when pre-ordering, limiting the total sales rate to 50%. For intercity and high-speed buses, it is recommended to reserve window seats first, so that the distance between passengers can be achieved.
Quarantine authorities implement measures to avoid overcrowding of public transport facilities, such as rest areas and train stations, and carry out on-site inspections. A tabletop screen is installed in the road rest area, and the seats are arranged in a row. While operating a congestion information system in rest areas, airports, train stations and terminals are frequently disinfected.
Distribution facilities, such as department stores and markets, are in talks with related industries to ensure that both employees and customers wear masks and refrain from events, tastings and tastings where many customers gather. Small and medium-sized supermarkets carry out quarantine management, such as the use of masks at all times, focused on cooperatives and groups such as supermarket associations, and support quarantine products such as hand sanitizers.
In principle, visits to nursing homes for the elderly and nursing hospitals are prohibited, and visits to wards (admissions) are prohibited even if visits are unavoidable. A non-contact visit is only possible in the space where the transparent barrier is installed through the advance booking system.
