It fell to three digits in one day yesterday, but it has increased to four digits again.

By region, infection in the metropolitan area continues.

The holiday season continues from today, and there will be many people planning year-end and New Year meetings. The quarantine authorities also asked for national cooperation, right?

The key message from the quarantine authorities is to cancel all planned meetings and appointments.

I ask you to keep in mind that if the number of gatherings and events increases during this holiday, contact between people increases, and the infection spreads, a crisis can really come.

Three major rules were requested.

First, at the end of this year, stay at home without meetings and conduct non-face-to-face religious activities or events. Second, you must always wear a mask regardless of location and situation. To visit and inspect.

Earlier, Jung Eun-kyung, head of the quarantine countermeasures headquarters, also stressed that a united pause and face-to-face meeting cancellation is essential so that the elderly with underlying diseases do not send the’Last Christmas’ due to infection.
