we entered the gradual recovery of daily life, the number of evening gatherings increased, and the number of weekend outings increased. If we analyze the population movement based on the base station information of the actual telecommunication company, it is confirmed that the number of people who move late at night around downtown areas such as Gangnam Station in Seoul has increased significantly.

the business hours restrictions of restaurants and cafes are lifted, the pub is crowded even after midnight.



[Choi Yeon-jun and Oh Kyung-ju (Dawn of the 2nd): It's been a long time since there are so many people in the bar at this time, so it's very strange, something like this... I have



to go

in in the morning.]

Based on the base station information of a mobile operator, we compared the amount of movement of the population during the time of distancing and after restoration of daily life.



This is an analysis of the movement amount at 10 p.m. on July 12-14, immediately after the 4th level of distancing, and on November 1-3, immediately after the recovery of daily life.



The Gangnam Station area in Seoul has steadily increased from 14,000 to 16,000 every day this month, a figure nearly three times higher than the 5,800 confirmed at the same base station at the same time last July.



The same is the case around Hongdae and Itaewon.



In particular, Itaewon had the most traffic on the Saturday before Halloween, at 11 pm on the 30th of last month, compared to the first weekend immediately after the 4th level upgrade, which is a whopping 10 times higher.

At that time, when the restaurants closed at 10 pm, it is analyzed that the crowd poured into the street at once.



The increase in population movement was also revealed in the navigation analysis. Comparing the number of vehicles traveling nationwide during the same period last year with the last weekend holiday last month, the number of cases increased by 2 million and the distance increased by 30 million km.



As the weather gets colder, indoor activities increase, and year-end and New Year gatherings increase in earnest, contact becomes more active, which can lead to a surge in the number of confirmed cases.
