The government said that if the increase in the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area continues, the standard of increasing the distance by 1.5 steps could be met, and urged citizens to comply with strict quarantine regulations.
On the 8th, Park Neung-hoo, deputy director of the Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters, said: “Currently, we continue with a stable response by suppressing the large-scale spread, but the production rate of infectious material has repeatedly fluctuated around 1, and the quarantine authorities have determined the rate of spread of Corona 19. It is a situation that is slightly ahead of the rate of repression, “he said.
According to quarantine authorities, the average daily number of confirmed cases in Korea during the past week (Nov. 1-7) was 88.7, an increase of 1.8 from 86.9 the previous week. In particular, in the case of the metropolitan area, the daily average of patients last week was 65.4, which represents the majority.
Although the growth trend has decreased slightly, it is a concern for the quarantine management that has been increasing for 4 weeks since the 12th of last month, when the distance-taking stage was adjusted to stage 1.
Deputy General Manager Park said: “Beyond vulnerable facilities like nursing hospitals, various meetings and appointments, workplaces and multipurpose facilities, etc., they are increasing in daily life. It is also a point disturbing”. It is the best strategy for Corona 19’s long-term response. “
The government emphasized that quarantine authorities must strictly follow quarantine rules, as well as quarantine authorities reinforce quarantine management with a sense of tension through epidemiological investigations and follow-up.

Deputy General Manager Park said: “If you summarize the results of the national and international investigation into the characteristics of Corona 19, Corona 19 does not have a separate patient that causes large-scale infection by constitution, but if the confirmed person is in an environment 3-mild, anyone can become a super spreader. He said: “Climatic factors such as temperature and humidity have no effect on spread, and people’s behavior, such as population density and overcrowding, is a much more important factor. “
Therefore, avoiding 3-soft environment, keeping distance, washing hands, ventilating and disinfecting are the most important things to prevent the spread of infection.
Meanwhile, the government said there has been no further spread due to Halloween in the last weekend of October. To date, no group infection has been reported on Halloween.
Deputy CEO Park said: “If you look at the age of the confirmed patients this week, it is not significantly older in the younger generation, and because they show a similar age distribution as usual, I don’t think the effect of Halloween”. “It costs this,” said a cautious position.
