On the 27th, the government will announce the three-stage upgrade or extension of the current distance distance. This is because the distance between the 2.5th stage of the metropolitan area and the second stage of the nationwide distance that is currently in effect ends on the 28th.

Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters, at a regular briefing on the 25th, said, “Because the 2.5-stage metropolitan area and the second-stage nationwide will end on Monday and next Monday, how to take action at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters meeting this Sunday? We will discuss and guide separately.”

Sohn Young-rae, head of the Strategic Planning Division of the Central Accident Control Headquarters, explained, “It is likely that the three-stage upgrade will be an important criterion for determining whether the outbreak pattern of patients will change and reach a level that exceeds the quarantine and medical response capabilities.” did.

At the same time, Mr. Son said, “How will the effect of the special quarantine measures during the current year-end and New Year’s season be a very important requirement.” “Please help me turn into a declining decline.”

In connection with the rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases to the 1,200 range on this day, the possibility was raised as a’temporary phenomenon’ caused by collective infection at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul.

“The biggest factor is the fact that 288 new confirmed cases have appeared as a result of the second full-scale inspection of the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul,” said Yun. “The remaining cases of local infections are maintained at the level of 900 to 1000 people without deviating from the recent trend. Yes. I think it is necessary to consider the special situation.”

He added, “Because the Seoul Eastern Detention Center is already a matter that is managed within the quarantine network, it is not a part that is further spread to the local community.”
