A notice on the prohibition of gatherings in the city center installed at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on the morning of the 28th. Ahead of Section 3 and 1, the court still applied strict standards to large-scale assembly and decided not to permit it. The aim is to block the same risks as last year’s Liberation Day, when a rally in downtown Seoul caused a mass infection of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). yunhap news
The government is raising a sense of concern, fearing that the March 1 urban rally will become another variable for re-proliferation.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, as of the 26th of last month, a total of 1670 cases were reported for urban gatherings.
These gatherings take place in various forms, such as press conferences, one-person protests, and nine or less gatherings. The number of participants reached 2,500.
The quarantine authorities believe that due to the nature of the assembly, residents from various regions gather and shout slogans together, so the risk of spreading through droplets is high.
Sohn Young-rae, head of the social strategy team at the Central Accident Control Headquarters, at a briefing the previous day, asked, “If possible, cancel the assembly and, especially in the metropolitan area, there is a high risk of (re-proliferation).
Meanwhile, according to the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bangdaebon) on the 1st, there were 356 new corona19 confirmed cases as of 0 o’clock the previous day.
It fell to the mid-300s, down 59 people from the previous day (415).
This is because the number of inspections on weekends decreased significantly compared to weekdays. Usually, the number of tests on weekends decreases by half compared to weekdays, and accordingly, the number of confirmed cases tends to be less.
As the number of tests decreased on the eve of the holiday, the number of new confirmed cases to be announced as of 0 o’clock on that day is also expected to be less than 400.
The quarantine authorities and local governments, such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, counted 328 new cases mid-term from 0 to 9 pm the previous day, 21 more than the previous day (307).
Considering the trend of not increasing the number of confirmed cases after 9 pm, it is expected to reach the mid-to-late 300 range.
