[Breaking News] Introduction of 'Social Distancing' Level 3... Currently Corresponds to Level 1

New Cases 기준 Step 1: Under 50 - Step 2: 50 to 100 - Step 3: Over 100 to 200

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] The government has unified the various confusing names of social distancing measures under the term 'Social Distancing' and decided to implement them in 3 levels (1 to 3) according to the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the intensity of quarantine measures.

On the 28th, the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced the 'Social Distancing Level Criteria and Implementation Plan,' which specifies the principles, criteria for transitioning between social distancing levels, and measures for each level.

The currently implemented 'Everyday Life Distancing' corresponds to the lowest level, Level 1. Level 1 refers to a situation where small-scale sporadic outbreaks repeatedly spread and subside below the level that the healthcare system can handle.

Level 2 refers to a situation where the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread in the community, exceeding the capacity of the normal healthcare system.

Level 3 refers to a large-scale outbreak situation where multiple cluster infections occur in the community, causing a rapid spread of COVID-19 infections. This applies when the daily number of confirmed cases doubles more than twice a week, indicating a rapid rate of spread.
