Although the number of new confirmed corona19 cases has fallen below 100, the government has decided to maintain the second-stage measure of “ releasing social distance ” in the non-metropolitan area after the metropolitan area. Before the Chuseok holiday, where there are many movements, social distancing has been mitigated and there are many concerns that the infection will spread.
On the 20th, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun told the Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters meeting held at the government office in Seoul: “Because the special quarantine period for the holiday is one week from Chuseok, it is necessary to maintain the current phase 2 even outside the metropolitan area. ”
The quarantine authorities decided to extend the second stage of social distancing outside the metropolitan area until the 27th.
The Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon) announced that at 0 o’clock on the day, 82 new cases of corona 19 confirmed. It’s only been 38 days since the 13th (56 people) last month that the number of new confirmed patients registered double digits a day. The new confirmed cases registered triple digits for 37 consecutive days from the 14 of last month to the day before, when the collective infection began in serious in the metropolitan area.
The decrease in the number of new confirmed cases on this day was over the weekend, which is an analysis that the number of diagnostic tests decreased. The number of diagnostic tests the day before was 7,539, which was half the working day. It was similar to the number of diagnostic tests from the previous weekend (September 13, 7813), with 121 new confirmed cases at that time. In addition, it is noted that there are continuous cases of group infection in various places, and the proportion of patients whose route of infection is unknown also reaches 27.4%.
As of the 20th, the number of confirmed cases accumulated in the metropolitan area was 17,000, exceeding 10,000. Confirmed cases in the metropolitan area represent 43.6% of the total confirmed corona cases19.
According to Bang Dae-bon, the number of confirmed cases related to Daewoo D.Vill in Gangnam-gu, Seoul increased to 14 at 12:00 noon. In connection with the construction briefing in Guro-gu, Seoul, the number of confirmed cases increased to 8 since the first case occurred on the 12th.
In Gwanak-gu, Seoul, eight people were confirmed to have group infections related to Sammos Forex, which operates facilities such as swimming pools and gyms. Infections in production plants continued (18 people). At Dong-A University in Busan, 8 students were infected through clubs, pubs, restaurants, dormitories, and classes.
Meanwhile, a suspicion of reinfection was confirmed for the first time in Korea.
According to Bang Dae-bon on the 19th, a woman in her twenties who was confirmed in March was confirmed to be cured, and then again in early April. There have been a number of repository cases where patients tested negative in the recovery period and then tested positive again, but this is the first time that quarantine authorities have announced that a suspected case of reinfection has occurred. Bang Dae-bon estimates that the genotype of Corona 19 virus in the woman’s body was different when the first and second positive tests were analyzed.
If it is concluded that it is correct to be reinfected with another type of virus genotype after the cure, the wave is expected to be difficult. This is because even if a corona 19 vaccine is developed, it may be useless if it becomes infected with a corona 19 virus of another genotype.
Depending on the “type”, you may need to receive a yearly vaccination.
