Along with the reorganization of the new social distancing that took place on the 7th, the distance between Cheonan and Asan in the Chungnam region has been upgraded to 1.5 steps, while Seoul and Gyeonggi in the metropolitan area, Wonju in Gangwon and Changwon in Gyeongnam they are counted as possible areas for a new update.

The standard of increasing the distance by 1.5 steps is 100 or more in the metropolitan area, 10 or more in Gangwon and 30 or more in Gyeongnam for a week. If this criterion is applied, the three regions are not in the upgrade stage, but there is no assurance that new cases will occur one after another.

◇ The state average of 69.1 confirmed patients in the metropolitan area … Risk of collective infection in densely populated areas

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 7th, at 0 o’clock on the 7th, the average number of confirmed cases per week in the metropolitan area decreased from 69.1 the day before to 65.4. Although 34.6 people are insufficient in the update criteria of stage 1.5, there is a high risk of exceeding the standard at any time, even if a large-scale group infection occurs.

At 0 hours a day, 89 new cases of Corona 19 were confirmed and 27,284 cases were accumulated. Of the 89 new confirmed cases, 72 occurred in Korea and 17 cases were imported from abroad. Among them, the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area represented 51 out of 72 confirmed cases nationwide. By region, there were 34 in Seoul, 16 in Gyeonggi, and 1 in Incheon.

The trend of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area is from October 25 to November 7 (2 weeks) ’44 → 88 → 53 → 61 → 93 → 72 → 77 → 81 → 62 → 36 → 84 → 72 → 72 → 51 ‘be be.

By implementing a new social distancing, quarantine authorities changed Corona 19’s risk assessment every two weeks, as the daily average for two weeks, to a regular monitoring system by reducing it to one week. At any time, if you exceed the promotion level, we will discuss ways to raise the gap immediately.

Previously, the size of confirmed patients in Cheonan and Asan did not meet the standards for the update. However, when dozens of people focused on the call center developed a group infection, the distance from 6pm on the 5th was urgently updated from stage 1 to stage 1.5.

Given this situation, Seoul and Gyeonggi in the metropolitan area are areas with a high possibility of applying the distance of 1.5 steps after Cheonan and Asan. The population of the metropolitan area is about 26 million. About half of Korea’s total population lives in the metropolitan area. The population of Seoul and Gyeonggi, with many confirmed cases, is 9.69 million and 13.8 million, respectively. Although it belongs to the metropolitan area, the population of Incheon, where the number of confirmed cases per day is less than 0-5, is 2.94 million.

Another risk factor is the constant occurrence of new cases in the metropolitan area. In the last week, including overseas entries, the number of confirmed patients in the metropolitan area was ’87 → 68 → 50 → 89 → 82 → 87 → 59. The proportion of the total of 89 new confirmed cases in the metropolitan area increased 60% to 66%.

At 0 o’clock today, 37 new cases occurred in Seoul, a decrease of 3 from the previous day. Three of them came from abroad. Excluding foreign inflows, local outbreak cases in Seoul recorded ’21 → 39 → 46 → 38 → 34 people ‘in the past 5 days.

◇ Weekly average of confirmed patients in Wonju 2.3, Changwon 3.7… Clear diffusion between non-metropolitan areas

In Wonju, Gangwon-do, there were 16 confirmed cases accumulated for a week from 1 to 7. The average number of confirmed cases per day for a week is 2.3. In the Gangwon area, the standard of increasing the distance by 1.5 steps is 10 or more confirmed daily. Although the number of confirmed patients in the weekly average is well below the standard of the update, the story changes only when it comes to the spread. Also, the number of confirmed cases is concentrated in Wonju, which is about 23% (350,000) of the 1.54 million people in Gangwon province.

On the 5th, there were 7 confirmed cases in Wonju per day, and on the 6th, 4 confirmed cases (165 ~ 168 in Wonju) occurred one after another. There were 11 cases accumulated over two days. At 0 o’clock on day 7, there were also 4 confirmed cases. There have been 15 confirmed cases in the last 3 days, and it can be seen as a very fast spreading area. Most of the new confirmed cases in the Gangwon region occur in Wonju.

Confirmed cases also occur in various forms. According to the epidemiological investigation at 0 o’clock on this day, a woman in her 60s (# 165) living in Hojeom-myeon is the wife of a previously confirmed person (# 164). A 70-year-old woman (# 166) residing in Socho-myeon received a positive test result before being admitted to Wonju Severance Christian Hospital.

A woman in her 40s (# 167) residing in Usan-dong tested positive as a result of the symptomatic diagnostic test, and a woman in her 60s (# 168 in Wonju) residing in Taejang-dong was confirmed in the prehospital diagnostic test.

The situation in Changwon, Gyeongnam is no different. In Changwon, there were 26 confirmed cases in a week from 1 to 7. The weekly average of confirmed cases was 3.7. In the Gyeongnam region, the standard of increasing the distance by 1.5 steps is more than 30 confirmed patients per day. Compared to Wonju, Gangwon-do, Corona 19’s risk is low.

However, it is concerning that a large number of confirmed cases in the Gyeongnam region occur in Changwon. Changwon has a population of 1.33 million, which represents 31% of Gyeongnam’s population of 3.34 million. On the 6th in Gyeongnam, 5 people (Gyeongnam number 339 ~ 343) and on the 7th 6 people (Gyeongnam number 344 ~ 349) numbered new confirmed cases. Of these, only 5 patients confirmed on day 6 were reflected in the statistics at 0 o’clock on day 7.

The five patients confirmed on day 6 are residents of Changwon and are confirmed cases related to the ‘family of the Changwon-si family’ where the cluster infection occurred. In the case of the cases confirmed on the 7th, two (344-345) related to his family were confirmed in Changwon, and four (346-349) residents of Yangsan were confirmed from abroad. Cases confirmed on day 7 will be counted as confirmed from 0 am on day 8.

In a briefing on the 7th, Sook-young Lim, head of the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters, said in a briefing on the 7th that “The daily average of confirmed cases in Korea during the last week was 64.5 in the metropolitan area, 2.3 in Gangwon and 4.4 in Gyeongnam. ” For previous meetings and events, basic quarantine rules should be imposed, such as the use of a mask, and self-defense management plans should be established, inform and discuss with the competent local government ”

◇ Strengthening the quarantine of priority management facilities in 1.5 steps away … Cheonan and Asan are prohibited from eating karaoke

The first stage of distancing is live quarantine, but stage 1.5 is upgraded to a regional pandemic, making quarantine management difficult. Step 1.5 is a level that threatens the scope of the normal response of the medical system in a specific area, and is issued when the Corona 19 epidemic continues for more than a week.

This is the case when there are more than 100 confirmed cases per day in Korea on average weekly, 30 or more in Chungcheong, Honam, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam, and 10 or more in Gangwon and Jeju. In step 1.5 of the distance, if the facility is located in an epidemic area, restrictions on the number of users will be increased and activities with a high risk of infectious diseases such as dancing in the club will be prohibited.

In step 1.5, the number of people used for facilities located in the corona19 epidemic zone is limited to one for every 4 square meters (m²) of area.

Cheonan and Asan, who had previously increased their distance, were prohibited from dancing and moving between seats in five types of entertainment facilities subject to priority management in accordance with the implementation of step 1.5. In addition, the door-to-door sales promotion room stopped working after 9 pm and banned the consumption of food in the singing practice area. The number of people was limited to 1 in 4㎡ of the facility area.

For restaurants and cafes, the standard was also changed to install partitions between tables from 150㎡ to 50㎡, along with a distance of 1 meter () implemented in the first phase. In addition, the number of general management facilities, such as the wedding hall, funeral hall, bath room, recreation room and multiple rooms, was limited to one person for every 4 square meters.

Movie theaters, performance halls and PC rooms can have seating with other people, and the consumption of food is also prohibited in indoor sports facilities. Schools, like academies, were also limited to one space and one person per 4㎡. Between the national and public facilities, only 50% to 20% of the number of visitors are received, such as bicycle races and horse races.
