<Anchor> The



quarantine authorities were worried that the number of corona patients would increase again from today (24th), but in fact, the number of additional confirmed cases increased to 400 again after three days.

The government believes that the loosening of people's minds also has an effect, and in the future, those who violate the quarantine regulations will be strictly held accountable.



This is Jang Se-man.



<Reporter> As



feared by the quarantine authorities, the number of confirmed cases yesterday rose to 400 in three days, an increase of 80 from the previous day.



In the case of family gatherings in Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, 30 people increased, 12 in a church in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and 10 in a factory in Asan, Chungnam.



The quarantine authorities believe that the increase in travel volume and easing distances during the Lunar New Year holidays have had an impact.



In fact, over the weekend, weekend travel in the metropolitan area increased by more than 17% compared to the previous week.



[Sae-gyun Jeong/Prime Minister: Until the fight against Corona 19 is over, quarantine should be a natural part of life as if breathing.] The



citizen's quarantine posture has become dull.



Over the past three months, there were 1,200 people who were caught violating the group prohibition order during step 2.5 of the distance separation, and more than half of them were related to various entertainment facilities.



Following the policy of excluding the fourth subsidy for violators of the quarantine regulations, the authorities have taken another reinforcement.



In the meantime, when local governments exercised the right to indemnify violators, they said that it was difficult to prove causal relations.



[Yoon Tae-ho/Head of the Central Accident Control Headquarters: The government will strictly respond to quarantine disruptions such as self-isolation violations, and will do its best to curb the spread of Corona 19.] A



new distancing step adjustment plan, which will take effect next week, will be announced on Friday the day after tomorrow. .
