SAT exam approaching one day ahead, the number of additional corona19 confirmed again has increased to 500.

quarantine authorities evaluated the current situation as a dangerous situation as there was no clear change in the number of confirmed cases.
One day before the SAT exam, the number of new confirmed patients again surpassed 500, and patients occurred in all 17 cities and provinces nationwide.
[Sae-gyun Jeong/Prime Minister: Infection has continued in many places so that the number of self-quarantines has exceeded the record high of 70,000 from two days ago.] In
particular, unlike the second pandemic in August, the confirmed case was raised social distance The number is seldom decreasing.
At that time, the number of patients started to decline about 10 days after the distance upgrade, but this time, the metropolitan area was upgraded to 1.5 levels on the 19th and 14 days have passed, but there is no decline.
Fortunately, over the weekend, mobile phone traffic in the metropolitan area decreased by 23% compared to two weeks ago, before the 1.5 level upgrade.
Authorities predicted that it may take a little longer for the outbreak to decline, as the scale of the third pandemic is larger than in the last second, but the distancing effect will eventually appear.
[Dao-Tae Kang/Second Vice Minister of Health and Welfare: We are actively taking quarantine measures according to the local situation.
The results of this situation are expected to come out until this weekend and the beginning of next week.] The
quarantine authorities can observe the trend of the number of confirmed cases more in the future and, if necessary, quickly increase the distance step further. He said he would review it.
