Over 500 confirmed cases per day for the last week
The level of social distancing has already exceeded 2.5 levels
After the start of the 3rd outbreak, quarantine measures continued to be extended every two weeks
[앵커]
The government was concerned that if the current confirmation trend continues, there could be a thousand confirmed cases a day, but it is still unclear whether it will be possible to prevent or delay the fourth outbreak.
This is because the timing of social distancing reform continues to be delayed, and there are still many threats, such as the speed of vaccination and the spread of mutant viruses.

The average number of new cases per day in the last week has exceeded 500.
The quarantine goal of reducing to 200 by the end of March has not been achieved.
The social distancing indicator has already exceeded the level of 2.5 levels.

Even if I upload it now, the effect is questionable.
Since the third epidemic began in mid-November last year, quarantine measures have been extended every two weeks.
I have accumulated over 4 months of quarantine fatigue.
Moreover, last month, the business hours of restaurants in the metropolitan area were extended from 9pm to 10pm, and entertainment establishments resumed business.
By releasing the reins, we faced a great quarantine crisis.

The government is planning to maintain the current distancing stage, but look at the spreading trend and consider an upward adjustment.

Another stumbling block is the speed of vaccination and the spread of the mutant virus.
The key is how quickly vaccination is given, and the vaccination rate is only 1.85% compared to the entire population.
In addition, there is a depressing prospect that the 4th outbreak will be instantaneous as soon as the mutant virus becomes the dominant species.
