[Do-Tae Kang/Second Minister of Health and Welfare (Last 22): Moderna announced that it will supply 7.01 million doses by the first week of September.] On



the 23rd, moderna vaccine 1.01 million doses were introduced. An additional 6 million servings are expected to be delivered within the week.



Based on this amount, the government has increased the number of people subject to vaccination before Chuseok by 2 million.



However, the exact introduction date and quantity have not been decided yet.



This is because moderna often notifies the supply schedule at the same time as sending the quantity.



[Sohn Young-rae / Head of Social Strategy Team, Central Accident Remediation Headquarters: The amount of each parking lot is detailed. However, the date of arrival is in a way that informs you that you have entered the moment you arrive… .] The



announcement of the quarantine measures for the Chuseok holiday, which was originally planned to be released before the 31st, the start date of the Chuseok train ticket reservation, has been postponed to Friday, the 3rd of the following month.




As the weekly average of 1,700 confirmed cases continues, we will make a careful decision while suppressing the epidemic as much as possible until this week.



[Kim Bu-gyeom/Prime Minister: As the quarantine situation may face a turning point once again due to the large amount of social movement before and after the holidays, so that the quarantine measures in force this week can be thoroughly implemented at the site (please do this)] For



immediate family gatherings Plans are being considered to exclude those who have completed annual vaccinations from the limited number of people or to allow some face-to-face visits to nursing homes.



If the inoculation speeds up before Chuseok, we are also discussing ways to expand the incentive to those who receive the first dose.



Whether to maintain the current social distancing measures in the 4th and non-metropolitan phases, which will end on the 5th of next month, will also be announced along with the Chuseok quarantine measures.
