National Special Quarantine on Chuseok Holidays
The number of new infections by coronavirus (Corona 19) per day continues to be around 100, and around 1 in 4 patients appear with unknown contagion routes, but if the measures to strengthen the distancing are prolonged, economic damage to the small self-employed The political judgment that the value could be higher came into play. However, the government plans to strengthen the quarantine management by establishing a “special quarantine period” from the 28th of the Chuseok holiday until the 11th of next month.
“Facilitated in two stages and extended until 27”
Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy director of the Central Headquarters for Security and Disaster Countermeasures (Minister of Health and Welfare), said in a regular briefing on the 13th: “We decided to reduce the distance between the metropolitan area in two stages and extend it until September 27 “.

Quarantine is reinforced in hospitals and nursing hospitals where group infections have recently occurred. Medical insurance is temporarily applied to the Corona 19 test in order to activate the diagnostic test of the patient when they enter the hospital. In the case of nursing hospitals in the metropolitan area, in order to detect latent infection early, it was decided to perform sequential sample diagnostic tests on hospitalized patients.

Adjusting the second stage of distance distancing to 2.5 steps will ease restrictions in the restaurant and cafe business, and the second stage measures for distance distancing will continue until the 27th.
Gatherings and gatherings of 50 or more indoors and 100 or more outdoors are prohibited, and the 11 existing high-risk facilities, such as clubs, entertainment bars and door-to-door vending businesses, maintain a group ban order. Also, the church relies on non-face-to-face worship, but plans to discuss rational plans with related organizations in the future. Minister Park Neung-hoo said: “Small groups and church meals will continue to be prohibited, and the government and church will discuss and decide on the plan to continue non-face-to-face worship.”
The decrease in the metropolitan area … “Two-stage effect seriously reinforced”
Recently, the number of new patients per day has stagnated at 100 units for more than 10 days, but the fact that the number of patients in the metropolitan area such as Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon has significantly decreased has influenced the relaxation of the phase of distancing. Minister Park said: “The corona19 epidemic in the metropolitan area is not spreading on a large scale and is continuously decreasing.”
At 0 o’clock on the 13th, there were 60 new patients in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon. The daily average of new patients in the metropolitan area, which once reached 254, fell from 162.1 two weeks ago (8.30 ~ 9.5) to 98.9 last week (9.6 ~ 9.12 ), and dropped to 60 that day. Minister Park said: “It is analyzed as a result of the adjustment of the second stage of the Seoul metropolitan area, which started from August 16,” and said: “The reinforced effect of the second stage (that is, stage 2.5) as of August 30 is fully exercised. The trend will continue for the time being. ”
They agree that the current situation is not a step to calm down, but they are diagnosing that the downward trend will continue due to the strengthening of the measures. If the reinforcement measures continue, the economic damage to the self-employed could be serious, so it seems that the decision was made to make it more flexible.

Minister Park said: “It was a desire to alleviate the number of confirmed cases in two stages after the number of confirmed cases has decreased significantly, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that the sacrifice of the self-employed and the class of low income is too great in the current situation. The part that emphasizes the excessive sacrifices of some of the common people in the middle diminishes the efficiency and acceptance of the distance. “” It was a common opinion of experts that there is a need for quarantine measures that are more sophisticated and that target with precision to facilities that are high risk while mitigating distances, “he explained.
Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun also chaired the main script meeting of the day, saying: “We consider the effects of the quarantine measures that have been confirmed along with social fatigue.”
Points to facilitate relaxation before Chuseok
However, experts in infectious medicine pointed out that it is premature to reduce the distance in the current situation, since the size of the patient does not go down to double digits and the rate of the unknown route of infection remains in the range of 20%.
Eom Jung-sik, professor of infectious medicine at Gachon University Gil Hospital, said: “According to the standards set by the government, the occurrence of confirmed patients and the infection route rate unclear as of August they fulfill all three stages. It has been pushed. The fire went out quickly, but I still think that it is the standard of the third stage, but it is dangerous to lower it in the second stage. Quarantine authorities suggested that “less than 50 to 100 new confirmed cases per day” as one of the conditions for the second stage of distance.
Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Korea Daeguro Hospital, also said: “It is necessary to lower the stage after accurately diagnosing the phenomenon, but there are still many patients who do not know the path of infection.” “A detailed analysis of the phenomenon is necessary beyond the numbers, but the diagnosis was incorrect. It is not a step to feel relieved.”

Professor Eom said: “As the crown crisis drags on, economic losses increase, so the government is not preventive and makes conservative decisions.” “Economic problems must be solved through economics. If solved by quarantine, the failures of the United States and Europe will be repeated.” I would do it “.
Experts are especially concerned that slowing down may give false signals. It is said that it can proliferate again if it leads to a neglect of quarantine rules or an increase in the amount of activity as the ability to execute remotely decreases.
Jae-gap Lee, professor of infectious medicine at Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, said: “The 2.5 step action had a great message informing that the situation in the metropolitan area was so bad. I thought it was significant in terms of increasing participation in social distancing, “he said.” Currently, it is important to keep an eye on Chuseok by delivering a message that is not psychologically relaxing. ”
The government once lowered the distance, but decided to re-tighten the reins before the Chuseok holiday, when a large-scale move was predicted.
Minister Park Neung-hoo said: “From September 28 to October 11, when the Chuseok holiday begins, two weeks will be established as a special quarantine period in consideration of high-risk aspects, and the management of the quarantine. By analyzing it, we will further strengthen the necessary quarantine measures. ”
