On the 5th, the number of new corona19 confirmed patients recorded 715, down 305 from the previous day. After the day before the number of new confirmed cases recorded 1020, it fell below 1,000 again in one day. Although the number of confirmed cases declined amid repeating rapid increases and decreases, it is difficult to conclude that the spread trend has declined. As the number of tests increases, there is a possibility that the number of confirmed cases will increase again during the week.
The number of deaths increased by 26 from the previous day to a total of 1007. The cumulative death toll exceeded 1,000 only 320 days after February 20, last year when the first death occurred, and 351 days after January 20, when the first confirmed death occurred.
For the first time, the government aims to capture the spread as much as possible through’social distancing’ (Section 2.5 in the metropolitan area, stage 2 in the non-metropolitan area) and’special quarantine measures’, and in particular, banning meetings of five or more people across the country. It plans to expand quarantine and support for many nursing hospitals.
During the last week (2020.12.30~2021.1.5), an average of 893.9 new cases per day occurred, while the number of confirmed local cases, which is a key indicator of the adjustment of distance, was 864.3 on average per day, which was less than the previous day (915.3).
