Yesterday (6th), there were 119 new confirmed cases of Corona 19.

It looks like it is gradually decreasing to 100 people for five days in a row.

In particular, the confirmed patients in the metropolitan area came down to double digits after 23 days.

But you can't be vigilant.

As the number of confirmed cases increased a lot after the holiday season in May and the holiday season in August, I am very worried about the coming Chuseok holiday.

In addition, we need to be prepared for the possibility of a flu and corona outbreak at the same time this fall.



Reporter Han Ji-yeon on the report.



<Reporter> The



number of new confirmed cases decreased by 48 in a day, but it is too early to be relieved.



Because of the typhoon, the number of inspections yesterday decreased by about 3,500 from the previous Saturday, and only about a quarter of the number of inspections during the week.



The number of cases where the path of infection is unknown is also seldom decreasing at 22%.



That's why the quarantine authorities still can't slow down.

Especially with regard to the Chuseok holiday at the end of this month

.

Yesterday and today, I advised you to refrain from moving to your hometown or visiting relatives.



In addition, the five days of the Chuseok holiday will be designated as a special quarantine period, and quarantine measures equivalent to the second stage of social distancing will be applied across the country.

quarantine authorities Emphasized the need to be prepared for a situation in which the flu and the corona are both outbreaks this fall.



To this end, starting tomorrow, the number of free flu vaccinations will be expanded to all youth and citizens over the age of 62.



In addition, we plan to introduce a kit that can diagnose flu and COVID-19 at the same time.
