[사회]416 new confirmed people…”This stock price is going to be quarantine”

[앵커]

On the first holiday after easing the distance, the number of new confirmed cases hit 400 on the second day.

However, there is a possibility that the number of holiday checks has decreased, and the effects of distance easing from this week are likely to appear in earnest.

Connect with reporters. Reporter Shin Hyun-jun!

You said that the number of confirmed cases, which went up to 600 during the week, has decreased due to holidays?

As of 0 o’clock today, there are 416 new cases.

It was 32 people less than the previous day.

However, it is difficult to say that the spreading trend has declined as the effect of the decrease in the number of inspections on the weekend was reflected.

The infection route is 391 people in Korea and 25 people in foreign countries.

When looking at the outbreaks in Korea by region, only 311 in the metropolitan area, including 120 in Seoul, 170 in Gyeonggi-do, and 21 in Incheon.

Of these, 59 were positive at the temporary screening test in the metropolitan area.

In the non-metropolitan area, 11 in Busan, 10 in Chungnam, 8 in Jeonnam, and 7 in Jeonbuk and Gyeongnam respectively.

The number of deaths from Corona 19 increased by 4 to 1,557, and the number of severely ill patients decreased by 1 to 155.

Among these, the average number of confirmed cases in Korea per day for the last week, which is a key indicator of the adjustment of distance, has increased to 467.

It is a state of re-entry between 400 and 500 people, based on the 2.5 step distance.

The quarantine authorities believe that infections with family members and acquaintances that occurred during the Lunar New Year holiday contributed to the increase.

It is also anxious that 22.3% of all confirmed cases are being investigated for the last two weeks.

The government is reviewing measures to reinforce quarantine measures such as distancing if the spreading trend continues, but plans to keep an eye on the outbreak this week.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun all spoke at the script meeting a while ago, right? What is the content?

Prime Minister Chung said that the number of patients who once exceeded 600 was reduced to 400, but he could not be relieved.

He also pointed out that although the people are tired from the war on Corona that has continued for more than a year, there are still many risk factors.

He also pointed out that the number of foreign mutant viruses is increasing and the amount of activity increases when the new semester begins with spring.

Accordingly, he said that the week starting today will be an important milestone in determining the direction of the quarantine strategy in the future, and hoped that it would be a week to undo the momentum of the third epidemic.

He also said that the vaccination has entered the countdown and that the first vaccination will be started at nursing homes and nursing facilities with the AstraZeneca vaccine on the 26th.

On the same day, he added that 117,000 doses of Pfizer’s vaccine will arrive in Korea from Cobax Facility, which will be vaccinated to corona treatment medical personnel from the 27th.

In addition, 94% of the first vaccination subjects agreed to the vaccination, and the initial participation was expected to be high.
