Corona 1,9205 new confirmed, 200 again after early September▶ Click here to enlarge
The spread of new coronavirus (Corona 19) infections continues to increase across the country and the number of new confirmed patients per day has risen to 200.
In particular, unlike in the past, when the number of confirmed cases spilled mainly in facilities vulnerable to infections such as medical institutions and nursing hospitals, in recent years, cases of small-scale group infection involving everyday spaces such as family and acquaintances , workplaces, banks, cafes, saunas, etc. In addition, the difficulties increase.
Furthermore, as the National Federation of Democratic Trade Unions (FKTU) held the “ National Workers’ Conference of the 50th Anniversary of the Passionate Spirituality Succession of Jeon Tae-il as scheduled ” on the 14th, there is concern that the Corona 19 spread further increased through this rally. .
If the current spread continues, quarantine authorities again demanded that strict quarantine rules be observed, saying that ‘social distancing’ would have to be improved from current stage 1 to stage 1.5.
◇ 143 people → 126 people → 100 people → 146 people → 143 people → 191 people → 205 people →? … Even on the weekend, three digits will appear
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 15th, the number of new confirmed cases was in triple digits for a consecutive week due to the effects of simultaneous group infections regardless of region and location.
From day 8 to the previous day, the number of new confirmed patients was 143 → 126 → 100 → 146 → 143 → 191 → 205 people. The day before 205 was the record of 200 people in 73 days since September 2 (267).
Compared to the previous week (124 people → 97 people → 75 people → 118 people → 125 people → 145 people → 89 people), when the day of stay below 100 people was 3 days, the spread is obvious.
If you postpone the count for each local government the day before, the number of new confirmed patients announced this morning is expected to continue in triple digits.
The number of confirmed cases of pure local outbreaks excluding foreign influx also registered an average of 122.4 per day during the last week, surpassing the 100 mark. Since the second epidemic focused on the metropolitan area, which began in the middle As of August, the daily average number of confirmed cases in Korea has remained below 100 and the spread has been somewhat suppressed.
The recent spread of Corona 19 is intertwined with the diversification and nationalization of “daily infections.”
Corona 19 is penetrating not only the metropolitan area, but also everyday spaces across the country, such as Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Chungnam. As small-scale infections emerge across the country at the same time, the speed of follow-up by quarantine authorities cannot keep up with the spread of Corona 19.
In the case of major outbreaks, a new group infection occurred in a sauna and hospital in Gangseo-gu, Seoul in the metropolitan area, and 9 and 10 were confirmed at noon the day before, respectively. A total of 10 people tested positive, as a group infection related to the Nowon-gu home care service was also confirmed.
In addition, the aftermath of existing group infection cases continued, such as Ace Hope Care Center in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (59 people accumulated), Dongjak-gu coffee (16 people) and Gapyeong-gun hydration academy (22 people) in Gyeonggi, followed by confirmed cases.
In the non-capital area, a total of 21 people were confirmed in connection with the gathering of friends in Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, and 42 people tested positive at a call center in Cheonan, Chungnam.
In addition, 19 people were confirmed in a case from a company located in Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, and 10 people were confirmed in a bank in Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do.

Until the 13th, two days ago, the number of new confirmed cases in 17 cities and provinces of the country met the criteria of the first distance stage.
However, as the number of confirmed cases increased, the number of confirmed cases in Gangwon increased to 11.1 during the last week at 0 o’clock the day before, and entered the standard stage of 1.5 (average 10 or more per day).

Meanwhile, some express concern that the KCTU rally the day before could become another link in the spread of Corona 19.
In the event of a rally, the risk of transmission of infection through droplets of saliva (splashes) is high because large numbers of people shout slogans, and it is difficult for quarantine authorities to conduct a rapid epidemiological investigation as they do not rally participants can be specified.
In fact, there were a total of 650 confirmed cases in connection with the downtown Seoul demonstration held on Liberation Day on August 15.
Sook-young Lim, general manager of situation Bang Dae-bon, said in a briefing the day before: “In a situation where sporadic infections are increasing in local communities, the demonstration can become a ‘trigger’ to through which Corona 19 can spread throughout the country. “
He continued: “Now, it is inevitable that the distancing step has risen to the base of the chin. If the distancing step is adjusted upward as the current trend of new patients continues to increase, there will be many limitations in life and they expect inconvenience and difficulties for freelancers. “It’s done,” he said, asking him to strictly follow quarantine rules, such as wearing a mask, keeping people separate and washing hands.
