Corona 19 re-proliferation is a concern, but the number of new confirmed cases exceeded 600?

[기자]

As of today 0 o’clock, there are 621 new cases.

164 more than the previous day.

After the 10th of January, it has risen to the 600 mark again in 38 days.

Looking at the route of infection, domestic outbreaks were 590 and overseas inflows were 31.

The number of occurrences in Korea by region was 415 in Seoul, 147 in Gyeonggi, and 21 in Incheon.

Of these, 92 patients tested positive at the temporary screening test in the metropolitan area.

There are 175 people in the non-capital region, 74 in Chungnam, 18 in Busan, 15 in Jeonnam, and 14 in Gyeongbuk.

The number of people who died from Corona 19 was 1,538, an increase of 4, and the number of severely ill patients was also increased to 169, with 3 additional.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun pointed out that at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters held this morning, the quarantine awareness is more concerned than the quarantine situation.

Let’s listen to it.

Starting this week, right after the Lunar New Year holiday, the government has eased the social distancing steps.

In addition, next week, we plan to unveil the reorganization plan for’social distancing’.

The problem is that it is difficult to tighten again in a situation where the fatigue of distance is accumulated.

In particular, observations are being made that the number of new confirmed cases may increase as group infections appear in earnest at family gatherings during the Lunar New Year holidays.

Here, massive outbreaks are popping up everywhere.

Following the Asan plant in Chungnam, 113 people were confirmed as a plastic plant in Jingeon-eup, Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do.

Most of the factory employees are foreign workers, and it is said that most of them lived in camps in dormitories.

Some experts warn that in the worst case, the 4th pandemic could come faster and bigger than you think.
