[사회]”The 4th fashion crossroads, rule observance, refrain from meetings” talks to the public

[앵커]

As the number of new corona 19 confirmed cases has reached 500 for five consecutive days, fears of the fourth epidemic are growing.

The government also appealed to the public to comply with the quarantine regulations and refrain from meetings, saying that the current situation has many similarities to the time of the previous pandemic.

At the crossroads of the 4th epidemic, the number of new patients with Corona 19 again reached 500.

Since the 31st of last month, it is already five days.

It should also be noted that there was no so-called’weekend effect’, which temporarily reduced the number of confirmed cases.

The number of tests decreased by nearly half compared to weekdays, but the number of confirmed cases was 543, the same as the previous day.

The recent spread is also raising concerns over the 4th epidemic.

This is because infected people are found mainly in daily spaces such as religious facilities, day care centers, and public baths, and group infections in entertainment facilities in Busan and Chungcheong are also increasing the rate of spread.

The number of confirmed cases in the non-metropolitan area is about 40% of the total, and it is a bad sign that the axis of infection gradually spreads out of the metropolitan area.

The government has once again pulled the reins of tension.

It is said that it is mandatory to comply with basic quarantine rules through the imposition of a fine, and that a large-scale on-site inspection is undertaken for facilities with many cases of infection.

In addition, he urged the public to comply with voluntary rules and to take preemptive tests and vaccinations.

With the spring crowds and the risk of re-emergence, such as the 4/7 rehabilitation, it is time to reflect on the lessons of the last three pandemics.
