<Anchor> Since
there are no holidays for corona prevention, medical reporter Jo Dong-chan is also on the 29th.
Q. What is the background of maintaining the level of distance from the metropolitan area?
[Cho Dong-chan / Medical reporter (specialist): The number of tests today is about half of the weekdays, so it seems that the number of confirmed patients will decrease tomorrow, but there is a little difference from last week.
Last week, the number of confirmed cases decreased in order of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
It also peaked on Thursday this week.
It is decreasing in order of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
However, when looking at the number of inspections, the number of inspections this week has increased compared to last week’s Friday and Saturday.
The average increased to 20,000, but not only the confirmed cases, but also the confirmation rate slightly decreased.
This weekend's pattern has decreased the number of inspections, but the quarantine authorities analyzed that the effect of the 1.5 step distance that was implemented on November 19 is gradually appearing.
So, it seems that the step of distancing the metropolitan area has not been raised.]
Q. The effect of the step 2 of distancing, when?
[Cho Dong-chan/medical journalist (specialist): This is also a graph that the quarantine authorities analyzed for the distance-taking effect.
During the second outbreak, the quarantine authorities applied the second stage from August 19th, and the effect began 10 days later, on the 29th.
The 1.5 stage effect on November 19th is expected to begin today, and the second stage effect in the metropolitan area, which started on the 24th, will begin this Friday.
Whether this effect really appears can be assessed by the number of Tue, Wed, and Thu patients.]
Q. Why was sauna and aerobic banned?
[Cho Dong-chan / Medical reporter (specialist): Yes.
The environment where the spread of Corona 19 increases is 3 Mil.
In other words, it is dense and in close contact in an enclosed space.
The Central Clinical Committee on New Infectious Diseases added one more.
It’s just breathing through your mouth.
The infected person excretes more virus than breathing through the nose.
Those who are not infected will absorb more of the virus.
In addition to the facilities prohibited by the quarantine authorities, we should not do mouth-breathing songs or drastic exercise in places where people gather.]
Q.
Do you
have any special requests from experts?
[Cho Dong-chan / Medical reporter (specialist): The Central Clinical Committee for New Infectious Diseases has said that the most powerful factor in controlling infectious diseases is public awareness.
This is probably because the quarantine authorities cannot give guidance on all aspects of daily life.
It can be said that this is a more important moment than ever, the awareness of the people who wear masks well.]
