[사회]400 people in six days without weekend effect… fear of spreading more this week

The number of new corona 19 confirmed cases in Korea has reached 400 in six days.

Despite the decrease in the number of tests on the weekend, the spread continues.

Concerns are growing as to whether the rate of spread is accelerating due to sporadic mass infections and a large amount of movement in the spring.

Corona 19 confirmed cases in Korea are similar to weekdays even though they are on holidays.

At one time, the number of confirmed cases was close to 500, reaching 400 in six days.

This weekend, the so-called’weekend effect’ was also less.

On the weekend, the number of tests decreased by nearly half compared to weekdays, but the number of confirmed cases decreased by only 31.

The average number of confirmed cases per day over the past week is 452.

The number of confirmed cases of local outbreaks on average per day, which is a key indicator of adjusting the distance, is already in the 2.5-stage range.

There are 300 patients every day in the metropolitan area, and now I am worried about the spread of non-metropolitan areas.

This is because there are more than 100 confirmed cases in 15 cities and provinces excluding Sejong.

Infection continues in family and acquaintance gatherings, and sporadic infections are also occurring in living spaces such as saunas and workplaces.

It is also a big factor that the group occurred at the workplace of foreign workers in the blind spot of quarantine.

The problem is that two weeks have passed since the school began, and as the amount of movement increases in spring, there is a great concern about spreading.

The quarantine authorities are urging to follow the quarantine guidelines more than ever, as there is a high possibility that the nationwide pandemic will be longer if the spreading tax in the non-metropolitan area increases.
