Lee Jae-gap, professor of infectious medicine at Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, said on the 7th of the social distancing gap between the metropolitan area and other regions: “There is nowhere to go (in the metropolitan area). I could do it, “he said. At the same time, he appealed at the end of the year to refrain from moving between regions and to actively participate in maintaining distance.
Professor Lee appeared on MBC Radio Kim Jong-bae that day and said, “In the case of the metropolitan area, as the distance between them has increased to 2.5 steps, end-of-year meetings become impossible, so eventually we can go to the provinces. ” Social distancing begins at 0 am on the 8th, and in the metropolitan area stage 2.5 is implemented and the other areas are in the second stage.
Professor Lee called for active participation, saying that participation in distancing is insufficient to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). He said: “The degree of participation in the national distancing has not increased to the level shown by the citizens of Daegu and Gyeongbuk during the first Daegu-Gyeongbuk epidemic.” I can see it. “He emphasized that” (Corona 19a) is widespread in the community, so there is very little that can be used other than to strengthen distance. ”
“We tried to take 2.5 steps in other regions as well, but step 2 against the reaction of the local government”

Professor Lee said that to avoid the balloon effect caused by the distance gap, there was a proposal to upgrade other regions to 2.5 steps, but it was canceled due to opposition from some local governments.
He said: “I gave an opinion on what it would be like to raise the metropolitan area to stage 3, but I know that it has been raised to stage 2.5 due to various circumstances. There was a story that said it should, but I know there was a backlash in a place where there weren’t many confirmed cases among other local governments. ”
Professor Lee predicted that the 11th will be the time to decide whether to increase the distance to the third stage. He said: “The positive rate (of the Corona 19 test) is over 4%, but if the test is done during the week, the number of confirmed patients can reach 700 to 800,” he said. “If you do not actively participate in the distance, it will increase to 2,000 to 3,000 people It is possible,” he warned.
He continued: “Can you think that the current situation is out of control in Korea? We may think that we are at a crossroads.” It may be, “he predicted.
