The social distancing adjustment plan will be announced tomorrow, but the situation does not seem to be easy. What is the government’s position?

[기자]

This week, as the number of new patients per day exceeds 4 to 500, concerns are growing that the epidemic is reviving.

Deputy General Manager Jeon Jeon Hae-cheol said that all of today’s major script meetings are reviewing whether to change the distancing stage in consideration of the recent corona 19 situation, which is growing uncertainty.

He explained that the government knows that the high-intensity distance has continued for a long period of time and that the nation’s suffering is great, and that it will make every effort to regain precious daily life.

However, it seems that it is not easy to decide on a distancing adjustment plan because the spreading trend must be overcome before the Lunar New Year holidays next month.

The quarantine authorities are cautious, saying that it is very difficult to determine whether the recent trend of confirmed cases has increased temporarily or has turned to an increase again.

So, it seems likely that we will take a closer look at the trend of patient growth today and tomorrow, and decide whether to maintain the current distancing phase or ease it.
