Although the number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) exceeded 1,000, the government delayed the adjustment of the social distancing stage. This is the reason why if you upgrade to Stage 3, a more preparatory stage will be needed, as around 450,000 multi-use facilities will be restricted to business. However, since the number of confirmed cases increases rapidly between the first and second day, there is an opinion that the adjustment of the stage should be rushed.
On the 13th, Son Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division of the Central Accident Control Headquarters, said in a briefing: “(When the distance is increased to the third stage), in the case of the metropolitan area , some 900,000 installations will affect the business. “There are 1.57 million facilities that are restricted in operation,” he said. “If we increase our distance to three stages, we will consider additional measures to strengthen the quarantine in addition to the content of the current manual.” We will consider more intense quarantine measures, and we will also determine the quarantine control plan, taking into account regional characteristics ”.
With the recent explosive increase in the number of confirmed cases, a consensus has formed even within quarantine authorities for the update. That day, President Moon Jae-in and Health and Welfare Minister Park Neung-hoo and others expressed their views through a briefing that “if the proliferation tax continues, it is inevitable to increase the tax to three stages. “. However, increasing the distance is the last resort. Minister Park said: “The third stage will be an excruciating pain for the self-employed and small business owners.” “The cohesion of the people is important. Small gatherings and family gatherings are dangerous too, so don’t take off your mask for a while and stay home. “
However, some people say that if an update is to be achieved anyway, it should be done as soon as possible. This is because the number of confirmed cases increases to around 1000 in one day. In fact, in the case of Seoul, a total of 170 confirmed cases occurred at 5 p.m. on this day.
For this reason, there is a consistent view in the medical community that “distance gain should be increased rapidly and step mitigation should be done carefully.” Professor Jeong Jae-hoon from the Department of Preventive Medicine at Gachon Medical University said on his Facebook page: “Implementing distancing quickly, quickly and slowly is the best way to reduce social distancing in the long term. Don’t be afraid, ”he advised.
