As the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea shows signs of spreading, the possibility of proactively upgrading the social distancing stage to ‘stage 1.5’ is increasing. This is because there are more than 100 confirmed cases in the metropolitan area for two days in a row and the collective COVID-19 infection is occurring simultaneously and simultaneously, regardless of region or location.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 14th, a total of 205 new cases were counted at 0 o’clock on the day. Of these, the local outbreaks were 166 and the foreign entries were 39. It is only 73 days since September 2 (267) that the number of new confirmed patients registered 200.
In the metropolitan area, a total of 109 confirmed people were found. After holding double digits for the past 20 days, the number of confirmed corona19 cases surpassed 100 for two consecutive days. If the current trend of confirmed cases continues to appear, it is very likely that step 1.5 of social distancing will apply.
According to the new remote distancing system applied by the government as of day 7, if the average number of confirmed patients per day during the last week is 100 or more in the metropolitan area and 30 or more in the non-metropolitan area (10 in Gangwon and Jeju), the social distancing step is 1.5 steps. It can be updated. However, as of day 8, the average daily average for the last week is 83.4, which is still not enough to meet the upside standard.
Quarantine authorities are also paying attention to the recent trend. Tae-ho Yoon, head of quarantine prevention at the Accident Recovery Headquarters (Heavy Water), said the day before: “In the case of the metropolitan area and the Gangwon area, it is already quite close to the distancing standard of 1.5 steps “. There is a risk of being satisfied. “
In Gangwon (18), Jeonnam (13) and Chungnam (11), the number of new confirmed cases per day is in double digits, and Corona 19 is spreading across some regions. Cheonan and Asan cities in Chungnam, Wonju, Gangwon and Suncheon, Gwangyang and Yeosu in Jeonnam were preemptively upgraded to 1.5 levels.
Furthermore, in the past, local outbreaks tended to appear on a large scale, focusing on some cases of group infection, such as medical institutions and nursing facilities, but recently, they are occurring simultaneously in various everyday spaces such as workplaces, schools, cafes. and meetings. It is said that it is becoming increasingly difficult for quarantine authorities to quickly find the source of infection. For this reason, there are voices that some people should preventively increase their distance to 1.5 steps.
