–– ■ “Distance level adjustment is the last card”
The government said that the adjustment of the distance stage should be carefully prepared, but it should be the last card.
Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said this morning at the Corona 19 Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting regarding the social distancing step 3 upgrade.
Prime Minister Jung said, “First of all, special quarantine measures are needed for facilities vulnerable to infection such as nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, mental hospitals, and ski resorts.”
At the same time, regarding the increasing number of gatherings, parties, religious events, tourism and travel during Christmas and the year-end and New Year holidays, he said, “For the reinforced year-end and New Year period, special quarantine measures should be prepared and implemented quickly.”
“The government should not pretend to be unaware of the pain caused by high-intensity quarantine measures,” he said. “The fiscal authorities ask us to review reasonable support measures.”
Regarding the spread of Corona 19, he said, “Especially in Seoul, 470 people were confirmed yesterday, recording an all-time high,” he said. “Only when the metropolitan area is captured, we can overcome the height of this third epidemic.”
However, he added, “During the two weeks of implementing step 2.5 of the Seoul metropolitan area, mobile phone and traffic usage and card sales are on a decline, and there are positive signs that the proportion of confirmed persons aged 60 or older is gradually decreasing due to aggressive diagnostic tests.”
Prime Minister Chung also said, “The act of producing or disseminating false manipulation information such as’determining the 3rd stage upgrade’,’signs of buying up daily necessities’, and ’70 confirmed persons at the funeral home in Jeju’ will be strictly responded according to the law on the principle of zero tolerance.” He said, “Relevant ministries, such as the Korea Communications Commission and the National Police Agency, should track and punish the offense until the end.
