It is likely to be extended again in 2.5 stages.
Special quarantine measures can be collectively extended
The number of new coronavirus (Corona 19) infections in Korea is about 1,000 per day. Recently, the number of confirmed cases can increase at any time, as mutant viruses from the UK have also been introduced, although there is neither a sharp increase nor a significant decrease. Among them, interest is growing as the government will hold a meeting of the Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures (script in Spanish) to confirm the distancing adjustment plan and announce it through an information session at 11 am from today.
◇ Recently, the average of about 976 confirmed patients per week = According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bangdaebon), the number of new confirmed patients at 0 o’clock the previous day increased to 1,029, again reaching 1,000. After showing 1,000 people from the 29th to the 30th of last month (1,045, 1,050), the number of people dropped to three digits per day the day before (967), but immediately returned to 1,000. However, there is a possibility that the number of new confirmed cases that will be announced from 0 o’clock on the day will be reduced somewhat. In fact, 738 new confirmed cases were counted midway between quarantine authorities and local governments such as Seoul from 0:00 to 9:00 pm the previous day. However, even if the number of new confirmed cases falls below 1,000 on this day, this is due to the effect of a decrease in the number of inspections during the New Year holidays, and the expansion trend cannot be considered has stopped.
◇ The distance and special quarantine is likely to be extended = The government is taking various measures to reverse the current situation of group infections. In the first place, as the current distancing measures and the special quarantine measures for the end of the year and the end of the new year on day 3, it is a situation to decide on new measures to be applied from day 4. In the case of further reinforcement of the distancing step, only the ‘three-level promotion’ card remained in the metropolitan area, but this is a measure that causes the suspension or restriction of the business of 2,093,000 facilities and is unlikely to be accepted. The weight is on the side that continues the current distance level.
The government is known to be reviewing plans to extend the special quarantine measures to the end of the year and New Years, which have been in place since the 24th of last month, as the current distancing measures alone do not have a significant effect on suppress the spread. However, for some measures, it should be noted that additional measures may emerge from so-called “clamp prevention” that will relieve or strengthen the water level.
