The number of confirmed coronavirus (Corona 19) infections has not rarely decreased even at step 2.5 of social distancing. Consequently, the quarantine authorities said: “If the tax on the spread cannot be avoided, it is inevitable to raise the tax to the third level.”
Tae-ho Yoon, head of quarantine at the Accident Recovery Headquarters (heavy water version), said at a regular briefing held at the Sejong Government Complex on the 11th. “There is no,” he said, “will leave a large social and economic damage incomparable to the past. ”
This is because if distance distancing is upgraded to three stages, it is in fact close to “complete social closure.” According to the Bank of Korea, when the distance is increased to three stages, private consumption is estimated to decline by 16.6% and total domestic production is estimated to decline by 8%.
In fact, when step 3 is applied, all work to work except essential personnel is restricted and teleworking becomes mandatory. Furthermore, the operation of all critical management facilities, general management facilities and other facilities, except essential facilities, is completely restricted. The use of public and public facilities will be completely stopped and social welfare facilities, including nurseries, will be closed or closed. In this case, child care is maintained only as urgent care.
In other words, the economic situation will worsen with a ‘lockdown’ measure that completely blocks social and economic activities.
However, the government continues to take a position that it is too early to raise the distance to stage three. On this day, “the action of the people is more important than mandatory government measures such as suspension or restrictions.” “Please minimize meetings, etc.”
Currently, the size of corona 19 confirmed cases has been in the second half of 600 since 8. On the 10th, 689 confirmed cases came out, and it was the highest record in 286 days and the second largest since the record of 909 people on February 29, which was the peak of the first pandemic in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.
