On the 20th, Kwon Deok-cheol, first deputy head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Chinese script), said about the recent spread of Corona 19, saying, “It is believed that the outbreak of group infections at workplaces and hospitals was the main cause, rather than easing distances, but rather, I can see it.” Deputy Deputy Deputy Deputy Deputy General Manager Kwon said in a remark at both the main script meetings on the day, “only two days after the Lunar New Year holidays and the easing of measures to’social distancing’, the number of confirmed cases increased significantly from the previous week to 500-600 again.” During the last week (February 14-20), the number of new corona19 confirmed patients in Korea recorded daily 326 → 343 → 457 → 621 → 621 → 561 → 446. “Collective infection is spreading to factories, workplaces, academies, daycare centers, and sports facilities, in addition to hospitals, churches, and saunas. Some experts warn that the epidemic could start again due to the effects of distancing and mutant viruses.” Regarding the measures to ease distancing, Kwon said, “It was implemented three months after the third epidemic began in mid-November last year.” “The prolonged distancing is causing great damage and suffering to low-income and unemployed people.” . “According to the recently released (previous year) household trend survey for the fourth quarter, income distribution indicators have deteriorated, and social and psychological indicators are also deteriorating. We will come up with a government-level support plan for this,” he added. Deputy General Manager Kwon emphasized, “Even for the self-employed or neighbors in need, even for the victims, they must thoroughly implement the quarantine rules themselves to prevent the spread of infection, and to achieve collective immunity by receiving vaccines in sequence.” Deputy General Manager Kwon said, “We are conducting a joint simulation training with relevant ministries so that vaccination can proceed smoothly, ahead of the first vaccination of AstraZeneca’s Corona 19 vaccine, which begins on the 26th. In addition to this, we will take a close look at what needs to be prepared after vaccination.” On the other hand, at the main script meeting on this day, we will discuss ways to set a period for banning blood donation after the corona 19 vaccination.
