The spread of the third epidemic is getting stronger, and the number of new confirmed corona 19 cases in Korea is the highest in history. There is mounting pressure to raise the level of social distancing to three, but the government shows a reserved attitude. A decision on whether or not stage 3 is scheduled to be raised at the Disaster Security Countermeasures Headquarters meeting on the 27th. The Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bangdaebon) announced on the 25th that there were 1,241 new cases of Corona 19, of which 1216 were in Korea. This is the first time that the number of new confirmed cases has risen to 1,200. Over the past week, the average number of confirmed cases in Korea per day reached 1,005.9, exceeding the upper limit of the three-stage level of social distancing. (800 to 1000 people throughout the country). The proportion of patients with “unknown route of infection” who do not know when and where they were infected is also close to 28%. Group infection is increasing in various areas such as medical institutions, nursing facilities, religious facilities, and workplaces. In the group of infection that occurred in the East Seoul Detention Center, 288 more people were confirmed that day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 514. In food stores and restaurants in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do , 32 additional people were confirmed after the first confirmed case on the 23rd. Regardless of the epidemiological connection, 121 confirmed cases were also carried out in the temporary detection clinic installed in the metropolitan area so that anyone could be tested. However, the government’s attitude does not attach much importance to the outbreak of 1,200 new confirmed cases. At the main script briefing that day, Tae-ho Yoon, head of quarantine at Accident Recovery Headquarters (heavy water version), said: “The main reason for the sudden increase in the number of confirmed cases was that 288 confirmed cases turned up in the eastern detention center in Seoul. ” It remains at the level of 900 ~ 1000 people who do not deviate. “” Because the East Seoul Detention Center is already managed within the quarantine network, it is not being extended further to the local community, “he added Along the same lines, he said that the average number of confirmed cases in Korea per week exceeded 1,000, “it is likely to be a temporary phenomenon.” The 2.5 steps and the second step of national distancing in the metropolitan area, which currently are in force, they will end on the 28th, and the government will decide what actions to take at the script meeting on the 27th. However, while the outbreak of 1,200 new confirmed cases is considered a “temporary phenomenon”, the possibility of an update in a third stage is unlikely. Instead, the government looks forward to the “special quarantine measures for the end of the year and the New Year” to be implemented until January 3. Sohn Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division a from Heavy Soo-bon, said: “How will the effect of the special quarantine measures be revealed during the end of the year and the New Year (for the decision to elevate the third stage), and if the quarantine response capabilities and medical capabilities can (follow the spread trend) are important. He said: “Please refrain from contacting and meeting during the period of special quarantine measures, and help people to turn the spread into a phase of decline.” However, experts pointed out that “we should not postpone the upgrade to the third stage, which has already missed the period.” Professor Hong Yoon-cheol from Seoul National University School of Medicine (preventive medicine) said: “The stage to talk about in each case, such as the eastern detention center, is over, and group infections are scattered throughout the country. ” I have to do it now. “Eom Joong-sik, professor at Gachon University Gil Hospital (department of infectious medicine), noted:” It is difficult to reduce the general epidemic with modifications such as ‘quarantined forceps’, and the effect will inevitably appear more slowly as the three-step upgrade measures are delayed and implemented. “By Choi Won-hyung, staff reporter [email protected]
