The government announced that it would reduce the level of social distancing in the metropolitan area to two stages as the spread of the infection slowed as a result of measures to strengthen social distancing in response to the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19 ).
The government explained that the self-employed sacrifice was too great to lower the level of distancing.
In a regular briefing held at the government office in Seoul on the 13th, Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy chief of the Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters, said: “With all our efforts, the corona19 epidemic in the Metropolitan area has not expanded on a large scale, but is continually declining. ” .
Deputy General Manager Park said: “The number of patients in the metropolitan area, which once exceeded 300, fell to 110-180 in the last week, and fell to 80-110 last week, and today it has decreased to 60 “. The trend is analyzed as a result of the distance adjustment of the second stage in the metropolitan area, which began on August 16 ”, he diagnosed.
“Now that the two-stage enhanced effect, which began Aug. 30, is fully in place, the decline in patient numbers will continue for a while.” “All these results are due to” Thanks to your hard work. “
Deputy General Manager Park said, “However, it is still not a reliable situation,” he said. “Compared with the past epidemic in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, the trend to decrease the number of remote patients is moderate.”
In addition, he explained, “as the number of unknown pathway infections remains at 20%, there appears to be a significant level of latent infections in the community outside the range of control of the quarantine network.”
Deputy General Manager Park 1 responded to some concerns, “Isn’t it a premature decision to downgrade the second stage?” “As quarantine authorities, we cause a lot of problems and gather opinions from all walks of life.” The self-employed and the low-income class cost too much. “
He also said, “particularly as the situation stabilizes, the part that emphasizes the excessively large sacrifices of some of the poor will reduce the effectiveness and acceptance of distance.”
Even on the advice of the Livelihoods Prevention Committee, the majority of views that excessive slaughter should be mitigated and the focus on precision quarantine for facilities that increase risk, said Park 1.
Deputy Director General Park said: “The government has decided to extend the distance between the metropolitan area in two stages and extend it until September 27,” he said. “However, it has decided to add precise quarantine measures to further strengthen the quarantine of dangerous facilities. It was a decision that comprehensively considered efficiency and risk factors in the face of the improvement of the epidemic situation and the level of risk that remains. ”.
