In the 7th fad… Announcing indoor mask mitigation standards today

[앵커]

The government is today (23rd) presenting indoor mask mitigation standards.

However, the actual timing of removing the mask will vary depending on the situation of the 7th Corona 19 epidemic.

The number of new confirmed cases, which exceeded 80,000 for two consecutive days, fell to the 70,000 level.

The quarantine authorities, who have gathered opinions from experts opening discussions, advisory committees, and party and government meetings, are publishing standards for mitigating indoor masks.

The main indicator is expected to be a downward confirmation of new confirmed cases of Corona 19, seriously ill patients, and deaths.

Not everyone takes off their masks at once.

The duty to dress is converted to a recommendation, but public transport, welfare facilities, pharmacies and hospitals are first exempted.

You can remove your mask in indoor sports facilities such as gyms, saunas, karaoke rooms, and large markets where mass infections occurred in the early stages of the corona.

It appears that compulsory wearing of masks will be abolished in nursery schools and day care centres.

However, it is not possible to predict when the actual mask may be removed.

Politicians are trying to remove their masks before the Lunar New Year holiday, but quarantine authorities are cautious about setting a date.

“Considering the domestic spread of the new virus and the continuing trend of spreading in China, it is time to stay alert on quarantine. The issue of adjusting the mask duty should also be decided based on scientific quarantine.”

On the 21st, 75,744 new cases had been confirmed. It was the most in 16 weeks from Wednesday’s event.

The number of seriously ill patients was 547, which was in the 500 range for 5 days, and the number of deaths was 62, rising to the level of 60 in 6 days.

The number of new confirmed cases, which broke the peak of the epidemic this winter for two consecutive days, has slowed somewhat, but it is not known whether this trend will continue.
