The confirmed cases, which had been somewhat slow, are showing an increasing trend again.
Kwon Deok-cheol, the first deputy head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said that the cause of the increase was viewed as the effect of’New Year’s holiday’ infection and group infection occurring in various places rather than the effect of easing distance.
Deputy Vice President Kwon said that group infections are spreading to hospitals, churches, saunas, factories, workplaces, academies, daycare centers, and sports facilities, and there are also experts warnings that a relapse may occur due to the effects of easing distance and mutant viruses. I did.
He then asked to keep the workplace and home clean, and to follow basic quarantine rules, such as wearing a mask and washing hands, and asked to avoid places or meetings where masks were removed.
