<Anchor> The



metropolitan area has been upgraded to stage 2+α, but the non-metropolitan area has been upgraded to stage 1.5.

Among them, 5 places with many confirmed cases, such as Busan, are undergoing a second stage upgrade.

In Busan, there are more than 50 confirmed patients a day, so I am worried about securing a bed right away.

The entrance to the alternative school for multicultural families is firmly closed.



This is because eight new students at this school have been confirmed.



A high school in Dongnae in Busan and a fitness center in Dong-gu also added 27 people, all three were related to the Janggu meeting.



In particular, it is estimated that the second and third infections spread from one confirmed patient who visited the music room where the infection started.



Today (29th), 39 out of 51 new confirmed cases in Busan were involved in the Janggu meeting.



The collective infection of Janggu Gathering in Busan has soared to 117 people within 8 days after the first confirmation.



[Ahn Byung-seon/Busan City Citizens' Prevention Promotion Director: There are too many movements for each patient, so it is difficult for the epidemiological investigation team to track it.

If the patient incidence level is maintained in the last few days, our medical system will be difficult to handle.] In the last



week, the number of confirmed patients in the non-metropolitan area reached an average of 130 per day.



As the sense of crisis grew, the government raised the distance between the non-metropolitan areas to 1.5 levels for two weeks starting the day after tomorrow.



Five places, including Busan, Gangwon-do, Yeongseo, Gyeongnam, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk, where the situation is severe, have decided to actively promote the second stage upgrade.



Seven cities and counties, including Jecheon, Chungbuk, Suncheon, and Hadong, Gyeongnam, where group infections are severe, are already implementing Phase 2 on their own.



Changwon City, where 38 confirmed cases related to Danran Izakaya and bathhouses, were raised, and decided to completely stop the operation of singing practice rooms and bathhouses the day after tomorrow.
