53,540 Corona 19 tests… Half of 102,468 cases the day before
The death toll increased by 25, a total of 942… 361 patients with severe gastric disorders
26.3% of’infection route investigation’ over the last two weeks
Government “The 3rd epidemic crisis in progress”
[앵커]
New cases of group infection occurred one after another during the New Year holidays.
Although the number of new confirmations fell below 1,000 a day, it is difficult to say that the number of inspections has decreased during the holiday season, and the spread has subsided.

Corona 19 infection does not cover the New Year holidays.
Two new group infections occurred in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do alone.
13 confirmed cases were found at the Elderly Care Center, which is vulnerable to infectious diseases.
Also, a bunch of 23 people were confirmed through acquaintance travel and sauna.
Fortunately, on New Year’s Day, the number of new cases fell below 1,000.
But it’s not a noticeable decline.
This is because the number of inspections on the first day of the new year was 53,000, which was nearly half of the number of tests on the previous day, which is a weekday, compared to 102,000.
Moreover, the number of deaths increased by 25 in a day, and signs of crisis from the quarantine and medical systems are ringing at the scene.

The percentage of’investigating the path of infection’, where it is unknown to whom it was infected, is also close to 30%.
A greater risk factor is the British and South African foot mutant virus.
[백순영 / 가톨릭대 의대 명예교수 : 결국은 이 전파력을 생각을 하면 어느 순간엔가 들어오게 되면 이 바이러스가 퍼지는 것은 시간문제라고 보여서 어느 나라든지 지금 지역사회에 있는 것으로 믿고 방역을 하는 것이 좋은 시기라고 생각합니다.]
On the other hand, the government is expecting a turnaround even though the third epidemic crisis is underway.
[임숙영 / 중앙방역대책본부 상황총괄단장 : 다만, 수도권 주민의 이동량이 11월 거리두기 격상 전보다 34% 정도 감소했고, 감염재생산지수도 1에 가깝게 지속 감소하는 등 그런 긍정적인 지표들이 확인되고 있습니다.]
The government threw back the number of matches with a reenactment of social distancing.
[권덕철 / 중앙재난안전대책본부 1차장 : 이번이 마지막 고비라고 생각합니다. 이번 고비를 잘 넘기면 예방접종과 치료제를 활용하여 소중한 일상을 조금씩 회복하는 단계로 진입할 수 있을 것입니다.]
Over the next two weeks, whether the trend of patient incidence will rise again or turn to a decline, it is likely to be at a critical crossroads.
