However, as some quarantine measures are eased, the risk of spread is still high.

Corona 19 infection is showing a modest decline.

It is the sixth line of 500 people since the 12th.

It has definitely decreased from the peak of last month when it recorded a thousand people, but it is a stagnant phase that does not increase or decrease rapidly in the new year.

As the social distancing reenactment and the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people are extended by the end of this month, we are interested in whether the spread will be further reduced, but there are still many threats.

First of all, it is still a winter season that is favorable for viral survival.

Moreover, there is a Lunar New Year holiday that is expected to move largely next month.

Some easing of quarantine measures for gyms and karaoke rooms is also a variable.

In particular, religious facilities where group infection continues to be an element of anxiety.

In connection with the BTJ Center for the Nations in Sangju, Gyeongbuk, the number of confirmed cases steadily increased to 763.

There are close to 1,000 people whose test results have not yet been registered.

The influx of mutant viruses, which are highly transmitted, is also a potential concern.

This is a phase in which re-proliferation may be triggered at any time if alertness is relaxed.
