From today (24th), one week from now on is expected to be the scale to prevent the nationwide pandemic of Corona 19 and to avoid the three-step increase in social distancing.

The current spread of Corona 19 across the country is so serious that the government announced that it is reviewing the third step immediately on the day of yesterday (23rd), when the government decided to carry out the second step of distancing nationwide.

A total of 2,625 confirmed cases of local outbreaks in the last two weeks from the last 10 days to yesterday.

The average of 187.5 people per day is one of the three levels of social distancing.

The 3rd stage of social distancing is carried out when there is an average of 100 or more local infections per day for two weeks, and'doubling' occurs more than once within a week, in which the number of new confirmed cases more than twice the previous day.


This is a'lockdown' measure that effectively blocked the whole country by the United States and Europe last spring. 

Eun-kyung Chung, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that these requirements are "only as a reference indicator," and said that even if the doubling requirements are not met, it can be upgraded to three stages.

The'Social Distancing Stage 3', organized by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters on June 28, is applied to situations where a large number of group infections occur in the local community and spread to a large-scale outbreak. 

In the 3rd stage ▶Prohibit all meetings or events with 10 or more people ▶Stop all sporting events ▶Restrict or stop all multi-use facilities that are not essential facilities ▶Stop all public facilities operation ▶Stop the operation of high-risk and medium-risk private facilities ▶Schools and kindergartens Interruption of school attendance and conversion to remote classes ▶All employees other than required personnel in public institutions work from home ▶Private companies are also advised to work from home as much as possible. 


High-risk and medium-risk private facilities refer to entertainment pubs, general pubs, cafes, religious facilities, baths, saunas, wedding halls, movie theaters, academies, PC rooms, and game rooms. 


The quarantine authorities warned that "the three-stage upgrade means the suspension of all daily activities except for essential social and economic activities," and warned that "it will have a devastating effect and painful consequences for the people and economic activities." 

In order to prevent the upgrade to the third stage, it is the most basic to strictly observe the distance from the second stage and adhere to the basic personal quarantine wearing a mask.

The next week will be a major milestone.
