As early as the 26th, the government will decide whether to adjust social distancing steps and quarantine rules to respond to the quarantine of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

Sohn Young-rae, head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters (Heavy-soo-bon), asked questions about the schedule for adjusting distance and quarantine rules at the corona situation back briefing on the 23rd, “I’m thinking about Friday (26th) or Saturday (27th), but tomorrow (24th) At the regular briefing, I will summarize this part and accurately announce the schedule.”

The current distancing phase (Section 2 in the metropolitan area, Phase 1.5 in the non-metropolitan area) ends on the 28th. The ban on private gatherings of five or more people across the country, excluding immediate family gatherings, is also maintained. Earlier, the government announced that it would finalize a new distance adjustment plan two to three days before the end of distance.

Regarding the corona situation, the government maintained 300 new confirmed cases for two days in a row, but predicted that it will increase again. “I think there was a decrease in confirmed cases due to the decrease in the amount of tests on weekends until today,” said Sohn. “From tomorrow, the number of patients is likely to increase, and we have to see how far the increase will go by Glepi (26th).”

The timing of reorganization of the social distancing system is expected to be later than expected. Initially, the draft reorganization plan was scheduled to be announced this week, but as the quarantine situation is not stable, the position is to reconsider when the reorganization time will be appropriate.

“We are discussing the reorganization plan with the relevant ministries and local governments, and we are collecting opinions from organizations related to self-employed and small business owners,” said Sohn. I will review it.”

“As the current quarantine situation is not stable, we are reviewing when it will be appropriate for the reorganization,” said Son. “The timing of the announcement of the draft reorganization is uncertain.”

“The contents of the reorganization plan are still being discussed,” said Sohn. “There are many opinions coming out while agreeing on the overall direction of the overall reorganization plan (focusing on autonomy and responsibility).”
