The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Bang Dae-bon) announced that as of 0 o’clock on the 11th, the number of new corona19 patients increased by 465, and the total cumulative number of patients was 9,4198. Among the new patients, 444 cases occurred in Korea and 21 cases were introduced from overseas. The number of new patients exceeded 400 for three consecutive days, following 446 on the 9th and 470 on the 10th. The number of 470 people that occurred on the 10th was the highest number in 19 days since February 19th (561).
On February 15, the quarantine authorities determined that the number of new patients had entered a decline, so the distance between the metropolitan area and the non-metropolitan area was lowered from the 2.5 stage to the 2nd stage and the non-metropolitan area from the 2nd stage to the 1.5 stage. However, since then, the number of new patients has not exceeded the’box range’ of 300 to 400 people. The number of new patients, which soared to 1027 on January 1 of this year, gradually declined, and after entering 300 for the first time this year on January 18 (389), they fell into a state of stagnation.

It was only one day on February 8th (288) that the number of new patients fell below 300 this year. Looking at the new patients daily for the last week (5-11 days), the average of 423 patients per day was 398 → 418 → 416 → 346 → 446 → 470 → 465. Among them, there was a tendency to increase little by little, with 300 people having 2 times and 400 people having 5 times.
In particular, the daily average of confirmed cases in the region over the past week, which is considered as a key indicator when adjusting the social distancing stage, was 406. This corresponds to the 2.5 step criterion of’over 400 to 500 people nationwide’ or’when there is a rapid increase in patients such as doubling’. It was only 15 days after the 24th of last month (427) that this number exceeded 400.
The government cited various small groups and group infections at workplaces as the reason for the recent increase in the number of confirmed cases. Tae-ho Yoon, head of quarantine prevention at the Central Accident Control Headquarters (heavy water version), said at a press briefing held online on the 10th, “Group infections through workplaces continue to occur across the country. It is estimated that it has contributed to the spread,” he said. “In addition, group infections have occurred mainly in multi-use facilities.”

The current distance between the second phase of the metropolitan area and the 1.5th phase of the non-metropolitan area ends on the 14th. Accordingly, the government plans to announce on the 12th a proposal to adjust the quarantine regulations that will be applied from the 15th. The mediation plan also includes banning meetings of five or more people and restrictions on business hours of multi-use facilities. It is said that the opinion that it is difficult to ease the steps within the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (middle script) is predominant.
In particular, it is difficult to solve the quarantine measures in a situation where the proliferation of the metropolitan area, which is highly densely populated, remains. As of 0 o’clock on the day, out of the 444 new confirmed cases in the area, 333 patients in the metropolitan area accounted for 75% of the total. Sohn Young-rae, head of the social strategy group Jung Soo-bon, said at a regular briefing on the 11th, “there is a tendency to increase slightly from the average line.”
