Civilians stopped visiting the Seoul Regional Tax Office in Jongno, Seoul.



After one employee was confirmed yesterday (16th), 5 other employees, including 3 other employees and their families, were confirmed and the work was stopped.



In the Siheung Central Hospital in Gyeonggi-do, where the first confirmed cases were released on the 9th, 7 additional people were confirmed, and the number of people was 8.



Since the route of infection was unknown, the percentage of confirmed cases under investigation reached a high of 26.8%.



The quarantine authorities are concerned that people's fatigue has accumulated due to prolonged social distancing.



[Yoon Tae-ho / Head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters: The amount of movement increased gradually over time, and the amount of movement last weekend increased by 8.3% compared to the previous weekend.] The number



of severe and severely ill patients was 175 as of 0 o'clock on the 11th. It peaked and turned to a decline, but deaths are expected to continue for the time being.



You should also be prepared for the possibility of more severe patients after Chuseok.



[Kwon Joon-wook/President of the National Institute of Health: It is very scary for the quarantine authorities to be in the form of a population exposed to the risk of corona (metropolitan area) visiting a high-risk group.]



As the number of patients over 60 is increasing, the time from confirmation to death is rapidly decreasing. .



In the case of 18 deaths in Seoul before the 12th of last month, this period averaged 19.5 days, and the 28 people who died since then have shortened to 13.6 days.



It is important that high-risk groups, such as the elderly and chronically ill, adhere to the quarantine rules well, but it is important to focus diagnosis and treatment on the high-risk group to minimize sacrifice.
