[이데일리 함정선 기자] The corona19 group infection continues to occur, and the average number of confirmed cases per week is 1017, far exceeding the 800-1000 standard of distance 3 stage upgrade, but the government did not draw out the 3 stage distance upgrade card.
It is unclear whether the number of confirmed cases will decrease due to the increase of temporary screening tests to 151 in the metropolitan area and the rapid expansion of diagnostic tests. Rather, the government chose to maintain the distance, even though it may bear the burden of criticism for not preemptively raising the distance as there may be more than 1,000 confirmed cases or more. It is interpreted because of the belief in quarantine.
Surplus medical competency by securing additional 9954 beds
The government’s goal is to postpone the promotion of distance as far as medical capabilities can withstand. According to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters on the 27th, the number of available corona 19 beds increased from 2548 beds on the 12th to 5813 beds on the day, a total of 3265 beds.
Accordingly, there were more than 500 patients waiting for more than one day in the metropolitan area, but as of this day, the number has decreased significantly to 96.
After the announcement of the goal of securing 10,000 additional beds on the 13th, a total of 9954 beds were added to achieve 99.5% of the target.
The Life Therapy Center secured 7760 beds, achieving 110.9% of the 7,000 beds for three weeks, and 451 beds for the treatment of severely ill patients were secured by an administrative order from a senior hospital and a national university hospital, 150.3% of the 300 beds for three weeks. Secured.
The hospital dedicated to infectious diseases has secured 1743 beds to date, securing 64.6%, which is less than two-thirds of the 2,700 beds, the goal of securing for three weeks.
Accordingly, the number of critically ill beds in the metropolitan area, which has been shown to be inadequate with 1 or 2 beds, has 80 spaces.

Looking forward to special quarantine measures during the year-end and New Year holidays
Expectations are also high for the effect of special quarantine measures during the year-end and New Year, such as prohibiting meals at restaurants with more than 5 people. This is because the quarantine is affecting the reduction of the amount of movement through three or more’tweezers quarantine’ measures.
In fact, the recent weekend movement has been on a decline, and in the metropolitan area, it has been at the lowest level since the corona 19 epidemic for the last two weeks in a row.
If the amount of movement continues to decrease, there is a high possibility that the sedation will continue even if the number of confirmed cases does not decrease significantly. Due to these effects, the infectious material production index in the metropolitan area also decreased from 1.27 to 1.07.
The Infectious Reproduction Index is the number of people infected by one confirmed person, and it is usually evaluated that the spread of the infection subsides when it is 1 or less.
Some improvements in the equity controversy… Continuous complaints on site
The current distancing period is expected to be extended, leading to a controversy over equity. The government has accepted protests from some sites and improved the guidelines for fast food restaurants, but the appeals of front-line business facilities such as academies are continuing.
The government decided to strengthen quarantine for fast food restaurants, saying that it would improve some rules related to restaurants and cafes, which are raising issues of on-site confusion and equity. Accordingly, in the case of fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Lotteria, only packaging and delivery are allowed when only coffee, beverages, and desserts are ordered as in bakery cafes and brunch cafes.
In addition, the ban on seating in unmanned cafe stores, which was applied only to the metropolitan area, only packaging and delivery, and the prohibition of gathering at Hold’em pubs, were applied to non-metropolitan areas and implemented nationwide.
However, although academies were initially prohibited from gathering in the third stage, protests are continuing as they were included in the ban on gathering as an exception when applying the 2.5th stage to the metropolitan area. They argue that it is against the controversy about equity that permits business of PC cafes where students gather and prohibits the operation of academy.
Young-rae Son, head of the Strategic Planning Division, Central Accident Control Headquarters, said, “I am looking forward to changing the trend of increase to a decreasing trend if we implement more special quarantine during the year-end and New Year period and thoroughly manage quarantine for high-risk facilities.” We plan to review and discuss comprehensive adjustment plans for the stages.”
