As the number of newly confirmed coronavirus infections (Corona 19) in Korea surpassed 1,000 over the past week, the quarantine authorities are pondering whether or not to raise social distancing in three stages. As of 0:00 on the 25th, the number of new confirmed cases was 1241, a record high.
Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters, said at a briefing on the 25th, “As the measures for the 2.5th stage of the metropolitan area and the second stage of the nation will end on the 28th of the following week, we will hold a major script meeting this Sunday (27th). Through discussions on how the action will be taken, we will provide a separate guide.”
“The biggest reason for the sudden increase in the number of confirmed patients as of 0 o’clock today is the part where 288 confirmed cases were found as a result of the second full-scale examination at the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul.” In addition, the remaining cases of infection in the region are maintained at the level of 900 people without significantly deviating from the recent trend.” “It is a judgment that the special circumstances of yesterday need to be considered,” he said. “It is also the effect of yesterday’s group infection that the average of more than 1,000 (new confirmed cases) per day per week is the effect of yesterday’s group infection, and the eastern detention center in Seoul is already managed within the quarantine network. “Because it is becoming, it does not spread further to the local community.”
“The part that the average (the number of new confirmed cases) per day for a week has exceeded 1000 people can be considered together if this is consistently achieved, but it is judged that it is more likely to be a temporary phenomenon.” .
