[사회]Weekend travel increased by 40% from the beginning of the year… around 500 people expected today

[앵커]

Yesterday, the weekend, the number of corona19 tests decreased significantly from weekdays, but the number of new confirmed cases to be announced today is expected to reach around 500.

As the number of citizens is increasing in warmer weather, the number of confirmed cases per day is also on the rise.

Reporter Choi Jae-min reports.

There are 459 new confirmed cases that were tested positive for Corona 19 from 0 o’clock yesterday to 9 p.m.

In the rainy gut, the number of inspections in the weather decreased significantly compared to weekdays, but there were 12 more people than at the same time yesterday.

The number of new confirmed cases to be announced in the morning is expected to reach around 500.

After exceeding 500 people in one month, it is threatening 500 people for two days in a row.

The average number of confirmed local outbreaks per day in Korea for the last week was 422, and they are still in the 2.5 stage.

The reason that the aftermath of the 3rd pandemic has not subsided is the reason that the amount of movement is increased in warmer weather.

The amount of movement over the recent weekend is approaching the level just before the third epidemic.

In mid-November last year, the number of movements on the weekend reached 74 million.

At the beginning of this year, the number dropped significantly to 45 million, but last weekend it increased by more than 40% to 64 million.

In addition, the increasing religious activity ahead of Easter is also straining the quarantine authorities.

If you have suspicious symptoms such as coughing or fever, you should never go to places where many people gather, such as churches and other multi-use facilities.

The quarantine authorities, which set the quarantine intensive management period until next month in line with the cherry blossoms, are planning to inspect major amusement parks and festival venues across the country.
