[이데일리 함정선 기자] During the last week (January 4-10), the average daily corona19 confirmed in Korea was 736.6. The number has fallen below 800-1000 people, which is the 3rd step of social distancing.
According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters on the 10th, the total number of confirmed cases per week during this period was 5156, and the average number of confirmed cases per week was 736.6. The average number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area was 514.6.
In the non-capital region, the average number of confirmed cases in the Gyeongnam region was 59.0, followed by 49.7 in Chungcheong and 47.3 in Gyeongbuk.
The analysis is gaining strength that the momentum of the third pandemic has somewhat weakened compared to the average number of confirmed cases per week recorded at the end of last year and the beginning of this month at 900 to 1,000.
However, the state average of 700 people meets the social distancing step 2.5, and the government is interested in how to adjust the distance between the metropolitan area and the second step in the non-metropolitan area, which is scheduled to end on the 17th.
Currently, the government is preparing a plan to allow business considering the fact that high-risk facilities such as gyms and entertainment establishments have been suspended for about six weeks and are suffering economic difficulties. Some are also predicting that distances within the metropolitan area can be reduced to the level of two.
