Corona 19 new confirmed cases came out yesterday (9th), 677 people, and the second day was in the second half of the 600 range.



Dozens of people are infected every day, such as indoor sports facilities, academies, and companies.



At the indoor sports facility in Seocho-gu, Seoul, the number of confirmed cases increased to 65 due to 3 additional confirmed cases, and the number of confirmed cases related to the Daejeon tutoring academy is also approaching 90.



The Infection Reproduction Index, which indicates how many people a person can infect, has also risen from 1.07 last week to 1.11 this week, raising concerns about further spread.



The government believes that it is in the early stages of entering the 4th epidemic, and decided to keep the social distancing stage as it is for three weeks starting next week.



However, since there is concern that the size of the confirmed cases may increase, a group ban has been imposed on six entertainment facilities in areas subject to the second stage of distance, such as the metropolitan area and Busan.



[Jeon Hae-cheol/Minister of Public Administration and Security: A joint quarantine inspection team will be formed in which 7 central ministries and 17 municipalities participate, and from next week, we will intensively check the status of compliance with the quarantine rules for 9 vulnerable areas such as academies, religious facilities, and sports facilities. .]
