“Refrain from visiting hometown and relatives during Chuseok holidays” … National exam of the second phase



[ad_1]

Three weeks later it’s Chuseok, and this year, there may be a lot of people returning to their places of origin. Then, as the crown could be spread across the country, the government suggested that if possible this year, instead of going home, just stay home. The number of corona-confirmed cases is declining. Today (6), there are 167 people, which is about 100 people for the fourth day, but the quarantine authorities judge that it is impossible to reduce him to Chuseok until he is well. In addition, a plan was also being considered to reduce the distance of the second stage to the entire country by closing all the doors of the entertainment bars during the Chuseok period.

Today, the general situation in Corona, reporter Je Hee-won will summarize.

The average number of new confirmed cases per day in Korea for the past two weeks is about 275.

Of these, 21.3% of them have unknown infection routes.

Although the number of confirmed cases has decreased somewhat recently, it means that there are still many asymptomatic and mild patients outside the quarantine network, and the possibility of further spread due to them is high.

The problem is Chuseok, which was three weeks early.

Quarantine authorities believe it is impossible to fully control asymptomatic latent infections until Chuseok.

It is estimated that if a large movement occurs before the Chuseok holiday period, a silent radio wave may spread across the country, such as after the May and August holidays.

The government operates the Chuseok holiday as a special quarantine period that amounts to the second stage of social distancing, and you are required to stay home during this Chuseok holiday, refraining from visiting your hometown or visiting the grave.

Train tickets for the Chuseok holiday are sold only at the window, limiting the sales rate to 50% and planning to reduce the concentration of highway rest areas.

Instead of the royal tomb, it was recommended to use the online tomb service provided by the ‘e-Sky Business Information System’ since 21.

Additionally, advance reservations for visitors are made at indoor security facilities.
