– As the spread of the’third pandemic’ of a new coronavirus infection in Korea (Corona 19) has been curtailed, the number of confirmed cases per day is in the range of 300 to 400. In terms of the size of the new confirmed cases, the’social distancing’ stage also fell to the second stage in about two months.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that as of 0 o’clock on the 23rd, there were 431 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea. 85 people increased from the previous day (346 people). The number of new corona19 confirmed cases in Korea peaked at 1,240 on the 25th of last month, and then gradually decreased. Except for the first two days of the new year (1~2 days), they all fell below the 1,000 level. This week (18-23), 389 people → 386 people → 404 people → 400 people → 346 people → 431 people are staying in the 300-400 range.
The number of confirmed local outbreaks, which is a key indicator of the social distancing stage, among the new confirmed patients on this day was an average of 384 per day. It has deviated from the current standard of 2.5 steps (a daily average of 400 to 500 domestic confirmed cases per week, etc.), and has entered the range of step 2 (over 300 people nationwide). Since the third pandemic, this number has reached the 300 level in 57 days since November 27 last year.
It is known that the quarantine authorities will observe the trend of new confirmed cases for the time being, discuss the reorganization of the system until the end of this month (2.5 phases in the metropolitan area, phase 2 in the non-metropolitan area) and consider whether to ease it.
