quarantine authorities diagnosed the current situation as one after another, regardless of specific regions and groups.



An infection in circuit meetings related to'Sujeong churches' nationwide is a typical example. As members of the church went to several churches with infection, 201 confirmed cases came out from 12 provinces nationwide from the end of last month.



I am also worried that infection will continue again at the facility where strict quarantine rules were applied.



35 people were confirmed at the Incheon daycare center and 34 at the Ulsan call center.



In Daejeon, where the number of confirmed cases related to the tutoring academy increased to 69, the distance from tomorrow will be raised to the second stage.



[Yoon Tae-ho/Jung Soo-bon, quarantine general manager: We need to watch the situation more, but the possibility of the 4th outbreak in earnest is growing.

It is time to raise the tension in quarantine again.] The



government has decided to strengthen preemptive inspections.



Anyone who has no suspicious symptoms can get a free corona test at public health centers and screening offices nationwide.



New distance adjustments to take effect next week will be announced the day after tomorrow.



A government official said, "We are looking for a way to strengthen the inspection of basic quarantine rules while maintaining the distancing level, and there are many expert opinions that the level should be raised."



As the corona 19 vaccine, the Janssen vaccine was finally approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

The Janssen vaccine contracted by the government is for 6 million people, and the exact timing of introduction and the first quantity are under discussion.
