It was found that the domestic Corona 19 infection reproduction index decreased to 1.0 level for the first time since mid-October last year. The quarantine authorities have extended the Step 2.5 and Step 2 Measures for Social Distance Between Metropolitan and Non-Metropolitan AreasIt requested that the company be well protected, while at the same time, it announced that it would supplement detailed measures to keep distance according to the risk of each facility and industry. Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), at a regular briefing on the 4th, said, “(Domestic infectious material production index) was 1.0 in mid-October, and the epidemic has continued to exceed 1 since then. I said. The Infectious Reproduction Index is an indicator of how many people infect one person. First of all, it appears that the 3rd epidemic trend has declined. However, headquarter Chung explained that “the total number of confirmed patients must be reduced when the scale is reduced to 1 or less,” and the three measures of epidemiological response, such as personal quarantine such as mask and hand washing, social quarantine that reduces contact between people, and contact blocking. He stressed that the infectious reproductive index can be lowered to less than 1 only when the government is harmonized. Currently, the quarantine authorities are citing three factors as risk factors for Corona 19. The ratio of’infection route investigation’ where it is difficult to determine where the patient was infected, the positive rate of tests for suspected patients, the outbreak of infection-vulnerable facilities such as nursing hospitals, and the risk of increased transmission power due to the mutant virus. Among the new confirmed cases that occurred last week, the proportion of confirmed cases who are investigating the path of infection reached 27.7%, and the positive rate remained in the 2% range. In addition, of the 21 new group infections last week, 7 cases were reported in medical institutions and nursing homes, and 6 cases were reported in religious facilities. There have been 10 domestic confirmed cases of the mutant virus found in the UK and South Africa. Regarding the group actions of gym owners who oppose the two-week extension of the banning measures, Jung said, “I am very sorry from the standpoint of the quarantine authorities.” Earlier, the government extended the current 2.5 steps to distance the metropolitan area and 2 steps in the non-capital area, while restricting the operation of taekwondo halls and ballet training centers, a controversy over equity with indoor sports facilities such as gyms arose. On this day, some business owners also opened their doors to protest. “We are well aware that the social distancing period for indoor sports facilities is prolonged and there are many difficulties in the business that is prohibited from gathering,” said Jung. We will do our best to shorten the period as much as possible.” He added, “We will continue to evaluate and consult with the heavy-duty and heavy-duty scripts to continue evaluating and supplementing the equity and social distancing for each facility and industry.” By Seo Hye-mi, staff reporter [email protected]
