After 87 days, the number of confirmed coronaviruses has risen to 600, and the government is planning to re-determine measures to adjust the social distancing stage announced this Friday.

On the 7th, Jung Sye-gyun, head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Spanish), said, “In this Friday, we need to re-determine the steps to adjust the distance to be applied from next week.” There is a need for bold quarantine measures,” he said.

Next, head of the headquarter Chung urged, “Each local government actively expresses innovative opinions based on field experiences, and the quarantine authorities consider that innovative measures can be included in this coordination plan.”

Yoon Tae-ho, head of the Central Accident Recovery Headquarters (Heavy Soo-bon), said at a regular briefing on the day, “We need to watch the situation a little more, but there is a growing possibility that the 4th epidemic is in full swing.”

The number of corona confirmed cases continues to increase. As of this day, there were 3666 cases in Korea during the past week (1-7 days). The average number of patients per day is 523.7. The number of patients in the metropolitan area was 324.6, an increase of 31.5 from Jeonju, and 199.1 in the non-metropolitan area.

The government is expanding preemptive diagnostic tests. The day before, a temporary screening laboratory nationwide examined 4,716 cases and found 98 confirmed cases.

The government plans to reinforce quarantine management as the infection spreads in the region through the recent singing practice. The script received a report from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to strengthen the quarantine management of singing practice.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism will expand the quarantine inspection twice a week, conducted in cooperation with local governments since December last year, to three times a week for the next two weeks. In cooperation with local governments, if any violation of the quarantine guidelines is confirmed, strict administrative measures will be requested.

In the future, all visitors to the singing practice room must make a list, and the number of people who can use it or the number of people who can use each room must be calculated and guided to the entrance. A quarantine manager is designated and resides at the facility, and ventilation is required for at least 10 minutes after each room is used.

“It is a situation in which people’s fatigue is accumulated as the distance between them is prolonged due to the characteristics of the 3rd outbreak, which is longer than the 1st and 2nd outbreaks,” said Mr. Yoon. It’s time to raise it again,” he emphasized.
