January 10th is "110th day".
Last year, it was found that out of the 7.65 million reports received by police nationwide, about 20% were non-urgent.
Since there are many consultations related to the new coronavirus, the National Police Agency is calling for proper use.
According to the National Police Agency, the number of 110 calls received by police nationwide from January to November last year was 7,654,794, a decrease of about 640,000, or 7.8%, from the same period of the previous year.
It is believed that the decrease in reports was due to the effect of refraining from going out due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and the significant reduction in traffic accidents and street crimes.
On the other hand, 19.3% of the 110 calls did not require urgent response.
There were a series of reports related to the new coronavirus, including complaints such as "cars with numbers outside the prefecture are coming for sightseeing" and "some people line up at supermarket cashiers without intervals" and "schools". The school was closed, and what should I do to take care of my child's meals? "
The National Police Agency says that it may interfere with the response to other incidents and accidents, and is calling for non-urgent content to use the speed dial "# 9110" that is common throughout the country.
