[사회][현장영상] The script “Observance of quarantine regulations during the New Year holidays, compliance with non-face-to-face sales”

[앵커]

The number of new corona19 patients increased to 400 again in six days.

Sporadic infections are continuing around religious facilities and academies.

It is also of concern that the influx of foreign mutants is increasing.

Prevention of quarantine is truly an emergency so that the spread does not increase during the Lunar New Year holidays.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters will mention the current status of Corona 19 and related measures.

I will connect to the field.

We will start the regular briefing on Wednesday, February 10th. As of today’s 0 o’clock, there are 414 domestic cases. There are 30 foreign patients.

Yesterday four people died. I wish the deceased people’s condolences and offer my deepest consolation to the bereaved families.

I will tell you about the quarantine countermeasures. Yesterday, a total of 80,000 tests were performed. About 43,000 people were tested at the screening clinic and about 37,000 people were tested at the temporary screening laboratory.

The following is the medical response situation. With the continuous expansion of beds, the medical system has sufficient capacity to respond. There are 521 beds for critically ill patients with Corona 19, and about 12,000 beds for moderate and mild patients, and there are currently no patients waiting for bed assignment.

For the Lunar New Year holidays, we will explain the operation plan for medical use and screening clinics. During the Lunar New Year holidays, all emergency medical institutions nationwide maintain a 24-hour treatment system as usual.

Operational information is provided through the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Central Emergency Medical Center website, and the emergency medical information providing app so that citizens can conveniently use screening clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies during the holiday season.

We operate screening clinics and temporary screening tests even during the Lunar New Year holidays so that you can receive the Corona 19 test without any problems. If you have any doubts, please go to the nearest place and take the test.

During the Lunar New Year holidays, major traditional markets and small and medium-sized supermarkets gather large numbers of visitors, increasing the risk of infection. We support non-face-to-face sales while ensuring compliance with quarantine regulations.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups cooperates with 17 local governments to regularly disinfect traditional markets, stores, and supermarkets nationwide at least once a week.

In addition, a quarantine inspection team is formed to check compliance with quarantine regulations, such as thorough wearing of masks by market merchants and users. In addition, we will post a banner requesting compliance with the quarantine regulations with about 500 traditional market stores, and continue to inform the quarantine regulations through the Kakao Talk channel and merchant information channels.

In addition, we plan to support non-face-to-face sales of small business owners. First of all, we provide benefits such as free delivery and discount sales when purchasing sashimi products online at about 350 traditional markets nationwide through the online shopping platform.

Traditional market online shopping malls sell local specialties and holiday gift sets at a discount of up to 30% and promote shopping mall’s own events. In addition, we support the sale of Onnuri gift certificates by increasing the discount rate of Onnuri gift certificates before and after Lunar New Year and by raising the purchase limit.

The Lunar New Year holiday starts tomorrow. With the third epidemic of the coronavirus continuing, a total of 346 confirmed cases for one week from February 4 to 10.

This is a very high level if you remember that just before Chuseok last year, there were about 80 patients. Weekend traffic in the metropolitan area last weekend increased slightly compared to the previous week.

Although the increase in movement volume is slowing, it is a 30% increase compared to the beginning of January. In particular, 271 people, or 78% of the number of patients per day that occurred in the past week, are occurring in the metropolitan area.

The Infectious Reproduction Index, an indicator that can gauge the spread of Corona 19, has also continued to rise from 0.79 four weeks ago and is approaching 1.0.

Especially in the case of the metropolitan area, it has reached a level of just over 1.0. Taken together, the 3rd epidemic is stagnating and the risk of re-proliferation still exists.

Especially in the case of the metropolitan area, you need to be more careful. During the Lunar New Year holidays, if movement between regions increases through homecoming, travel, etc., and the number of encounters with family and acquaintances that we cannot meet normally increases, the third fashion may spread again.

Particularly, meetings with people you don’t meet often with meals, refreshments, or drinking alcohol increase your risk of infection. In Hwacheon, Gangwon-do, residents of the metropolitan area visited their families before the Lunar New Year and were confirmed late, and 261 people, including village residents, were tested for coronavirus, and 7 people were confirmed until yesterday.

Even during the Lunar New Year holidays, you will be desperate to visit your family, but I ask you to refrain from returning home, visiting relatives, or traveling in consideration of the health and safety of my family and neighbors.

It’s okay if the elderly don’t come first, and I’d be even more grateful if you could tell me that your heart is enough. Even if you travel long distances due to unavoidable circumstances, we hope that you strictly follow the quarantine rules.

Food is not allowed at the rest area. Also, be sure to follow the quarantine rules such as wearing a mask and filling out an access list.

When using railroads, buses, airlines, and passenger ships, please minimize the risk of infection by observing the quarantine rules, making non-face-to-face reservations and using vending machines.

For the 5 weeks before and after the holidays, advance reservation is required when using the Bonan facility. If you would like to express an example directly, please use the reservation system, and if reservations are difficult, please use the online grave service.

Please do a little bit more so that the vaccination from the end of February does not extend smoothly so that the vaccination proceeds smoothly.

Anytime, anywhere, please thoroughly follow the quarantine rules such as wearing a mask, keeping your distance, and washing your hands. The government will also do its best during the Lunar New Year holidays so that people can recover their precious daily lives.

Fellow Koreans, I wish you a happy new year. Thank you.
