As the number of new corona19 confirmed cases increases again, concerns are growing that the 4th pandemic is becoming a reality.
The government said it could reconsider its plan to apply the new distancing system starting next month if it determines that the outbreak is serious.

The talk of a review came out just two days after the announcement of implementing a new social distancing, emphasizing autonomy and responsibility.
Under the premise that the epidemic is within control, it attempted to reorganize the distancing system, but the number of new patients has soared to 600.
The government said that if such a surge is spread through full-scale re-proliferation, it could lead to confusion in the reorganization process.

The government is paying attention to the rapid increase in the number of new patients amid less quarantine tensions, such as easing social distancing ahead of vaccination.
Moreover, it has not yet been confirmed whether the infection spread due to the Lunar New Year holiday movement.

Therefore, after this weekend, when the effects of the Lunar New Year holidays are evident, it is expected to be an important starting point in determining whether or not the 4th pandemic.

If the aftermath of the 3rd pandemic has not gone away and another big wave comes, the social shock and suffering can be more serious.
The government once again emphasized compliance with quarantine regulations in everyday life, saying that it has quarantine and medical capabilities in preparation for an increase in the number of patients.
