South Korea was one of the first countries to be affected by the epidemic. The initial number of confirmed cases increased rapidly. With the Moon Jae-in government launching active anti-epidemic policies, the current epidemic situation has been effectively controlled. Since March 10, the number of new daily cases in South Korea has gradually declined. There have been four days this week where the number of new cases in a single day has been less than 100. However, unexpected events have occurred, and the epidemic in South Korea has experienced a slight "rebound."

According to China News Service news, as of 0:00 on the 21st local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia in South Korea reached 8,799. Due to the persistence of collective infections in a nursing home in Daegu, there has been a "small rebound" in the number of patients.

According to Yoon Tae-ho, the head of the South Korean epidemic prevention department, revealed at a press conference on the 21st, the main reason for the rise in the number of confirmed cases is that 109 of the new cases occurred in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province. A mass infection occurred in a local nursing home facility, most of which were elderly patients with underlying diseases.

As we all know, the two most severely affected areas in South Korea are Daegu and Gyeongbuk. The South Korean government has classified them as "special disaster areas", while nursing homes and other elderly care institutions are high-risk places for the epidemic. Insufficient resistance and easy infection.

The "small rebound" of the epidemic has both advantages and disadvantages for the Moon Jae-in government. From the perspective of South Korea's entire epidemic prevention level, the increase in the number of confirmed cases is obviously something that the Moon Jae-in government needs to summarize. Yoon Tae-ho, the person in charge of South Korea's epidemic prevention work, has made a statement that stricter management measures will be adopted in nursing homes. He said that in The investigation found that some nursing homes are having difficulties in conducting isolation, and the government has begun planning a series of support measures such as providing them with medical supplies and financial allocations.

Fortunately, the rebound in the number of confirmed cases is not large this time. Although it will bring some minor troubles to Moon Jae-in, it will not fundamentally shake the Korean people's recognition of the government's previous protest measures.

For Moon Jae-in, "the most stressful stage" has passed. In the early days of the epidemic in South Korea, due to the surge in the number of confirmed cases, more than 1 million Koreans signed a petition posted on the official website of the Presidential Office, demanding the resignation of President Moon Jae-in of the Republic of Korea because Moon Jae-in failed to respond to the epidemic in South Korea in a timely manner. outbreak to protect Korean people from infection.

The public opinion of more than 1 million people, this is such a huge pressure of public opinion for Moon Jae-in. However, as Moon Jae-in went to the front line many times and the South Korean government launched a series of targeted protest measures, the epidemic began to be effectively controlled in early March. Most of the rational South Korean people saw this, and those who opposed and The voices of condemnation also disappeared.

In addition, the number of confirmed cases in Daegu has rebounded slightly this time, and it is difficult for South Korea’s opposition parties to use this as an excuse. Daegu is the hometown of former President Park Geun-hye and is also an important "political stronghold" of the South Korean opposition party. Now that there are talks on the epidemic in Daegu, where the opposition party forces gather, if the opposition party uses this issue to play, it may "steal the chicken but lose the rice."

Since the epidemic spread in South Korea, Moon Jae-in has repeatedly called on the public not to hold large gatherings or gather in groups. The collective infection in a nursing home is likely to be a political rally organized by the South Korean opposition party. The eyes of the people are sharp. Such an approach will not only endanger the life, health and safety of the Korean people, but also arouse some people's dissatisfaction with the opposition forces.

Moon Jae-in’s most important task at the moment is to control the epidemic in South Korea. After the epidemic is completely over, the facts will make the most fair judgment.
