(Seoul = Yonhap News) Correspondent Choi In-young = As the prevalence of Omicron mutations continues to decline, the number of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Korea on the 2nd recorded 200,000, following the previous day.
The Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that as of 00:00 on the same day, there were 264,171 new confirmed cases, bringing the total to 13,639,915.
On this day, the number of new confirmed cases decreased by 16,102 from the previous day (28,273), maintaining the mid-to-late 200,000s for two days in a row.
The number decreased by 71,370 from the 26th of last month (335,541 people) a week ago, and 117,228 fewer than on the 19th of last month (381,399 people) two weeks ago.
The government is judging that the Omicron epidemic has passed the peak and has gradually turned to a decline since the end of last month.
In the midst of this, the government will increase the number of private gatherings from 8 to 10 for two weeks from the 4th, and implement a relaxed social distancing measure that extends the business hours limit from 11pm to 1 hour.
The government only slightly adjusted the distance, stating that the BA.2 mutation (stealth omicron) has become the dominant species, and there is a possibility that serious illness and death may increase. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KIST) and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) analyzed that the number of confirmed cases will increase by 10 to 20 percent with this mitigation measure.
The government has decided to boldly reorganize the quarantine measures once the epidemic has significantly decreased for two weeks and the medical system is stable. In this case, there is a possibility that restrictions such as business hours and private gatherings will be lifted, and a plan to allow people to take off masks outdoors may be discussed.
