〈Photo = Yonhap News〉As of today (1st) 0 o’clock, there are 355 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea.
The number of confirmed cases per day was around 300 on the second day, but it is difficult to see a decline.
It seems that the’weekend effect’, which decreases the number of inspections, was reflected.
The three-day holiday has been running since last Saturday, and there is a possibility of the spread of infection as some organizations have announced the March 1 rally.

The quarantine authorities were concerned about the possibility of spread due to the March 1 rally, and requested that the assembly be canceled.
Kwon Deok-cheol, the first deputy head of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, said, “I still remember the painful memories of the spread of infection during the Liberation Day rally last year,” and asked to cancel if possible.
Deputy General Kwon said, “If you are conducting a rally, the organizers should strictly observe the quarantine prevention such as wearing a mask and keeping distance while keeping the reported number of people.”
Relevant ministries and local governments were asked to do their best in on-site inspection.
Regarding the vaccination, he said, “The vaccination is progressing smoothly,” he said. “Although more than 200 million doses of vaccine have been vaccinated around the world, there are very few side effects and most of the symptoms are considered mild.”
However, he said that the cases of fake news and rumors related to vaccination are at a serious level.
〈Photo = Yonhap News〉Deputy General Manager Kwon also feared that the current corona19 situation was in a stagnant state rather than a downward trend.
The average number of new confirmed cases in Korea in the last week is 360, and the situation is not good, especially in restaurants, day care centers, box manufacturing companies, and nursing hospitals in the metropolitan area.
He said, “Because of the three-day holiday and the warm weather, many people flocked to major tourist destinations and large shopping malls across the country,” he said, and asked to avoid gathering places and follow the quarantine rules.
If I had any symptoms after outdoor activities, I was asked to have a diagnostic test immediately.
The existing’social distancing’ stage will be extended for another two weeks from today.
The second stage in the metropolitan area and 1.5 stages in the non-metropolitan area.
‘Prohibition of private gatherings with more than 5 people’ also applies.
