The government recently demanded that the number of confirmed coronavirus infections (Corona 19) be kept in a stagnant state without leading to a decline, and to strictly observe the quarantine regulations.
Tae-ho Yoon, head of the quarantine prevention department at the Central Accident Recovery Headquarters (Heavy Soo-bon), diagnosed at a regular briefing on the 5th that “the current number of patients around 400 is being maintained.”
“The number of confirmed cases is not on the rise, but we believe that they are still stagnating,” said Yoon, and said, “We are suppressing (the quarantine situation) as much as possible, but the trend of confirmed cases is not turning to a decline.
Recently, the number of new corona 19 confirmed patients in Korea has risen and fallen in the 300-400 range.
From the 27th of last month to this day, the number of confirmed cases estimated to have been infected in the community is on average 371.9 per day. This falls within the current’social distancing’ stage 2 (more than 300 people nationwide).
In the metropolitan area, 70-80% of new confirmed cases occur every day, and the spread is not easing.
The number of confirmed local outbreaks in the last week in the metropolitan area was 295.4 on average per day, an increase of 16.7 from the previous week (278.7).
In the non-metropolitan area, there were also confirmed cases in Chungcheong area (19.4 people) and Gyeongnam area (18.3 people), and an average of 76.4 people came out.

In the meantime, the government is concerned about the trend of an increase in the amount of movement after the step of distancing is lowered.
On the 2nd, the number of mobile phone movements in the metropolitan area was 17.15 million and 13.4 million in the non-capital area, for a total of 363 million.
Compared to the 23rd of last month (31.3 million cases), which was a week ago, it decreased by 2.2% (700,000 cases), showing almost the same level.
“After the Lunar New Year holidays, the amount of movement is increasing as the distance distancing step is eased. We expect a large crowd to come to multi-use facilities such as department stores and hypermarkets over the weekend.”
Captain Yoon stressed that now, when the Corona 19 vaccination is accelerating, we should not let go of the quarantine tension.
He said, “We are gradually recovering from the daily life that was stopped by Corona 19, but there are still not a few patients, on average, about 400 every day,” he said. “The number of patients from 400 at the end of the last year has risen to 1,000 in 4 weeks. I have experienced it.”
“Even if you look at overseas cases, as vaccination begins, the number of patients is often increased as the alertness to COVID-19 is eased. Vaccination is a very important means of forming collective immunity, but this alone does not (c) prove. “He said.
He added, “It is judged that the overall corona19 epidemic can be suppressed and controlled only when the distance between (vaccine vaccination) is performed in harmony.” .
