The government suddenly postponed the announcement of the mediation plan for’social distancing’, which was scheduled to be released tomorrow (29th). As the number of new confirmed cases turned back to an increasing trend, it was based on judgment rather than watching the situation.
Sohn Young-rae, head of the Social Strategy Division, Central Accident Recovery Headquarters (Heavy-soo-bon), said in a back briefing on the situation of Corona 19 on the 28th, “We are watching this week because the number of confirmed cases is slightly increasing.” “Do” he said.
“The announcement of the mediation plan will be announced tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, while watching the trend of confirmed cases, I will tell you whether to adjust it.”
The distancing measures currently in effect in the metropolitan area (step 2.5) and non-capital area (step 2) will end at the end of this month. The government has extended the current phase, which was scheduled to end on the 17th, for another two weeks to block concerns about reproliferation of Corona 19.
The number of confirmed cases of local outbreaks in the last week, which is a key indicator of adjusting the distance, has dropped to 300, and then rose to 400 on the same day. This falls within the range of 2.5 levels (400-500 or more, or when doubling is rapidly increasing).
The government is also collecting opinions from related ministries and experts on whether to extend the ban on meetings of five or more people.
