The number of new quarantine releases increased by 654 to a cumulative 4,7649, and 17991 are currently being quarantined.
The government evaluates that the recent corona spread has passed its peak and has entered a modest decline. Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters, said at a briefing on the 6th, “The current epidemic situation is judged to be a period of slow decline from the peak. I expected it.
In fact, the average number of patients per week was 800 this week, which was significantly lower than last month, when more than 1,000 occurred.
However, it is not a situation to be relieved as the number of deaths appears in double digits every day and group infections such as nursing hospitals continue.
“Because the feeling of fatigue is great,” Yun said, “The area of everyday situations will be secured only when our society has done its utmost to accelerate the decline in the next 10 days until January 17th and secure the capacity to respond.”
