The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases rose again to the mid-100s, and the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area, which had been in double digits for a while, rose to triple digits in six days. The number of cases in which the route of infection cannot be confirmed remains in the 20% range and the sense of crisis from the quarantine authorities is growing.
Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Defense Response Headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Bang Dae-bon), said at a regular Corona 19 briefing on the 17th, “The cumulative number of confirmed cases of corona19 exceeded 30 million on the 17th. ” We are controlling the outbreak, but it is difficult to control because Corona 19 shows a very high transmission and contagion power ”.
He then emphasized: “It is difficult to wait for the end of the crown at the moment, and it is important to settle down and make daily life safe with Corona.”
“Please refrain from traveling Chuseok … Infection concerns for the elderly”
Through a briefing, the Jung headquarters noted: “It is a severe period in which the number of confirmed cases of corona19 may increase exponentially,” and said: “Especially, the sense of crisis has increased as the Chuseok vacation two weeks in advance. “
If there is a lot of movement between regions, such as in May and during the summer holidays, a pandemic could occur nationwide as infected people and other people mix. Above all, quarantine authorities are concerned that older people, with a high mortality rate, may become infected.
“Please refrain from moving to your hometown during the Chuseok period, and the travel bookings were made as a balloon effect, but refrain from making travel moves,” he said. “Think of the Chuseok period as a quarantine week to cut the spread of Corona 19.” .
What he identified as a second risk factor is the influenza (flu) outbreak. In autumn and winter, respiratory infections caused by the influenza virus increase, and it is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are similar to those of Corona 19. That is why quarantine authorities are paying attention to the influenza epidemic as much as Crown 19.
The third is a drop in temperature. When the temperature drops, the virus becomes an environment that prefers to survive, ventilation is difficult and when there is a lot of time indoors, close contact increases and “there are seasonal risk factors,” Jung’s concern said.
It is also a problem that the number of cases in which the path of infection has not been confirmed remains in the 20% range and is increasing (26.4% from 17). “The fact that the number of cases with unconfirmed infection routes remains at 20% means that there are asymptomatic and asymptomatic sources of infection in the region, so they run the risk of further transmission.” I will try to proceed more precisely. “
On the other hand, when asked whether the ‘downgrade from stage 2.5 to stage 2’ was the cause of the slight increase in the number of confirmed cases, the head of the central office, Jung, said: “The adjustment in the Stage 2 is as of Monday, and the majority of confirmed cases occurring now are a patient who has been exposed to (corona 19) since last week. ” At the same time, he urged, “if the public accepts the setting of the social distancing scenario as a message of relief, awareness will shrink and the fad will spread. Please minimize exposure between people.”
“The mask is an autovaccine and a seat belt”
“The second stage of national social distancing is maintained, but it is a very cautious situation,” said the head of the headquarters. “Patients can present themselves anywhere in the environment, and in a dense, intimate, closed 3 environment, patients can explode.” .
He also emphasized: “I hope you are aware of the fact that ‘our society is not yet safe’, and that you will be alert to the quarantine of life with the intention of protecting your family.”
He then explained a case in which only one of the 27 attendees avoided infection by wearing a mask in the Daegu Cordyceps Sales Business Report. “The mask prevents infection in the absence of vaccines or treatments, and when it is infected, It is its own vacuum cleaner that blocks its spread to people and is a seat belt.
