[사회]Eight out of 10 citizens “Effective in preventing social distancing, but tired”

[앵커]

The number of new COVID-19 patients has hit the 300 mark for three consecutive days.

However, there is still concern as group outbreaks are spreading all over the country, and in particular, group infections through living spaces such as hospitals and workplace acquaintances are increasing.

In the midst of this, Korean people agree that the current distance is effective for quarantine, but it turns out that they are tired of the long distance.

At a public discussion on social distancing in the morning, the results of a public survey related to distance distancing came out. Let’s organize the contents first.

The first public debate on reorganization of the social distancing system was held in the morning with the participation of the government and experts.

At the debate, the Ministry of Health and Welfare had a report on the results of a survey on public perception of social distancing.

Looking at its contents.

First, 8 out of 10 citizens answered that the current distance is effective for quarantine, but tired.

In addition, there were many opinions that the government should support self-employed people who suffered damage from distance.

Only 2 out of 10 respondents said they would pay additional taxes for this.

To block the current Corona 19 ‘3rd epidemic

More than 8 out of 10 agreed that the government should have taken the distance step faster.’

However, less than half of the respondents answered positively that the government’s distancing policy, which was made during the third epidemic, was’fair to all citizens’.

In addition, 74.4% of respondents evaluated that the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people was effective.

In addition, 74.8% answered that it is more important to limit personal activities such as private gatherings rather than limiting multi-use transfer.

However, 56.1% of respondents said that even if private gatherings with more than 5 people were prohibited, family meetings should be allowed, and 41% agreed not to allow them.

This’distance awareness survey’ is the result of a survey of 1,000 adults over the age of 18 through online and mobile on the 27th and 28th of last week.

The next second debate is scheduled for next Tuesday, today 9th.

Looking at the trend of new patients. The numbers seem to have stabilized, but the government is still worried about the current situation? I’m curious about the background?

[기자]

The government is in a position that even now, when there are 300 confirmed cases a day, it is still too early to see it as stable.

In the background of this judgment, we can see the spread of group outbreaks first.

The outbreak rate has risen by more than 10 percentage points in one week.

Last week, the number of confirmed cases classified as’collective infection’ was 1,353, accounting for 32.7% of the total.

These figures were 10.9 percentage points higher than the 21.8% of the previous week.

In addition, the proportion of patients whose infection route is not clear is also high at 21.4%.

Also, the Lunar New Year holidays, when there were many movements and meetings, are ahead.

Taking this into account, we are asking for cooperation from all the people, saying that the risk of re-proliferation of the’third pandemic’ remains.

In particular, 7 mutant viruses, including the UK mutant virus, were confirmed through foreign patients last week.

Looking at the trend today, the number of foreign patients is increasing remarkably, adding to the concern.

However, as announced yesterday, the government reaffirmed that it could ease the quarantine measures for the Lunar New Year holiday even this week if the number of confirmed cases decreases.
