[사회]326 new confirmed corona19…downgrades from tomorrow

[앵커]

Today, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases is 326, continuing to reach 300 for the second day.

It seems that the effect of the decrease in the number of inspections during the Lunar New Year holiday period is reflected. Reporter Kim Dae-gyeom!

As of today’s 0 o’clock, the number of confirmed cases decreased more than yesterday, right?

[기자]

That’s right. As of today 0 o’clock, there are 326 new confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Korea.

That’s 36 more people than the day before.

It is premature to judge that the spreading trend has declined as it seems to have been affected by the decrease in the number of tests due to the Lunar New Year holidays.

Looking at the route of infection, 304 outbreaks in Korea and 22 inflows from overseas.

With 243 people in the metropolitan area alone, more than 74% of all confirmed cases came from the metropolitan area.

There are sporadically confirmed cases in non-capital regions, including 12 in Busan and 11 in Chungnam.

Yesterday, eight more people died from Corona 19, and the cumulative death toll exceeded 1.522.

The number of patients with severe gastric disorders decreased by one to 156, and about 73,500 were cured.

[앵커]

In the midst of this, downward distancing will be implemented from tomorrow, right?

[기자]

Yes, the current social distancing phase ends today.

From tomorrow, we decided to take the new distance-taking steps down one step at a time.

The metropolitan area is currently going down from stage 2.5 to stage 2, and the non-metropolitan area now goes down from stage 2 to stage 1.5.

Accordingly, the time limit for multi-use facilities in the metropolitan area is also extended by one hour from 9pm to 10pm.

Entertainment facilities across the country are also allowed to operate until 10 p.m. under the condition that quarantine rules are observed.

However, the’prohibition of groups of more than 5 people’, which is judged to be effective in preventing the spread of infection, remains.

This is because the third trend is still alive, with the trend of confirmed cases still not exceeding the 300-400 range.

In particular, there is a possibility of spreading foreign mutant viruses, so it is not possible to slow down the alertness of quarantine.

So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has delivered it.
