The government will announce a proposal to adjust social distancing in relation to the third pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) on January 2 of next year.
Yoon Tae-ho, head of the Accident Control Headquarters (heavy water version), said in a regular briefing on Corona 19 on the 31st.
“The special quarantine measures for the end of the year and new year period, the 2.5 steps in the metropolitan area and the 2 steps in the non-metropolitan area will end on January 3 of next year.” In addition, we are collecting expert opinions from the Living Prevention Committee ”.
He said: “Today we discussed the distance adjustment plan through the meeting of the Headquarters of Disasters and Security Countermeasures (Full Script),” he said. “Based on the contents discussed today, we will make a final decision and announce it through the Grand Script meeting on January 2 next year,” he added.
Since the 8th, the government has maintained the current stage of social distancing, and since the 24th, it has applied special quarantine measures during the end of the year and the end of the year, restricting travel and meetings.

However, the government assessed that the current distancing measures have the effect of suppressing the occurrence of new confirmed cases.
“We analyzed that the effect is a bit slow but it is showing up through remote positioning,” said Sohn Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division. “The increase is slowing weekly as the distance strengthens, and the last two weeks it has been around 900 to 1,000 people.” We were in a phase of stagnation, “he explained.
He continued: “The quarantine countermeasures headquarters predicted that the number of patients will increase quantitatively based on the current infection situation and the rate of infection reproduction, but it is actually falling to a much slower level.” We think it’s due to the Doogi effect. ”
Sohn said: “To maximize the effect of normal distance distancing, you should look back about 10 to 2 weeks, but it has been a little over a week since the quarantine measures were implemented over the end of the year and the period of New Year”. “We expect a change in trend toward more fragile growth, in other words, a decrease in patient growth.”
According to Jungsubon, approximately 1.7 new patients per day averaged in the region during the last week (12.25 ~ 31), of which 70.4% were concentrated in the metropolitan area. As the number of patients aged 60 and over increases, the number of patients with severe gastric disorders is constantly increasing.
As of the previous day, there were 7,811 beds in the Life Treatment Center and 2,206 beds in the hospital dedicated to infectious diseases.
There are 205 beds for critically ill patients in the country available immediately, of which 95 are in the metropolitan area.
There are 41 patients in the metropolitan area waiting more than 1 day to be assigned a bed after diagnosis.
