With the number of new infectious diseases from coronavirus (Corona 19) exceeding 200 per day for three consecutive days, the government is considering raising the social distancing step to 1.5 steps in the metropolitan area and Gangwon, where the disease is not detected. spread of the disease.

On the 16th, the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (Company) is scheduled to hold an unscheduled critical script meeting chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun on the 17th to discuss the agenda to increase the distance. Typically, the main script meetings are held on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

An official in the script said: “It is correct that Prime Minister Chung is chairing the meeting on the 17th”, but “we heard the opinions of the experts through the Livelihood Prevention Committee meeting on the 16th and discussed with local governments to determine whether or not to raise step 1.5, the timing of the update and the details. It will be presented to the meeting on the 17th. ”

Currently, a “preliminary warning” has been issued in the Seoul metropolitan area and the Gangwon area, indicating the possibility of a 1.5-step upgrade. The main consideration when adjusting the distancing stage is the number of confirmed local outbreaks per day for a week. If there are less than 100 people in the metropolitan area, less than 30 people in the non-metropolitan area, and less than 10 people in Gangwon and Jeju, level 1 will be maintained.

The number of daily confirmed cases in the metropolitan area during the last week (10-16 days) was 99.4, which is still not up to standard, but exceeded 100 for four consecutive days. Gangwon has exceeded the upgrade standard by filming about 20 people in four days.

The government is only coordinating which part of the metropolitan area and the Gangwon area will be updated. In the case of Incheon in the metropolitan area, only 0 people occurred on the 14th, 2 people on the 15th, and 10 people on the 16th. This is because it is more stable than Seoul and Gyeonggi, where dozens of cases are confirmed every day. In the case of Gangwon-do, recently confirmed cases are concentrated in the Yeongseo area and rarely occur in the Yeongdong area.

An official in the script explained: “We are considering various possibilities, such as whether to improve the metropolitan area and the entire Gangwon-do area, and whether to first improve the areas with prominent proliferation.”
