[앵커]

The number of new corona19 patients in Korea, which has been up and down from 300 to 400 for a while, has exceeded 500.

This is because the number of confirmed cases has increased significantly not only in the metropolitan area but also in the non-metropolitan area, which was relatively stable.

The government has extended the current social distancing and the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people, as the spread is not serious.

At today’s major headquarters meeting, he repeatedly demanded compliance with the quarantine rules, saying that there are factors of quarantine insecurity such as re-elections, right?

Yes, Kim Hee-gyeom, the second general coordinator of the company’s major headquarters, said at the major headquarters meeting this morning that the government made extraordinary efforts, such as the period of special measures for the metropolitan area and the special period for compliance with quarantine regulations in the non-metropolitan area, but the number of confirmed cases is not seldom decreasing.

He pointed out that in April, there are large religious events such as the re-election, Easter, and Ramadan, which are causing anxiety in quarantine.

He then emphasized that it is more urgent for the people to actively participate in quarantine than ever before, and he urged them to follow basic quarantine rules when doing outdoor or religious activities.

Joong-Kwan Kim also explained that the first vaccinations for nursing hospitals and facilities under 65 years of age are almost finished, and vaccinations over 65 years of age are also progressing smoothly.

He added that the government and local governments plan to provide transportation for the elderly and operate a vaccination call center to ensure that vaccination is smoothly carried out.
