As the winter season is in full swing, Corona 19-infected areas are gradually expanding in China.

China is in full swing in the new year.

The infection situation in China will be investigated with a Beijing correspondent. Correspondent Sungwoong Kang!

Sporadic infections continue in China, but is the infected area expanding?

[기자]

So is.

In China, around 20 infected people a day have been reported since late last year, and the area is gradually expanding.

Meanwhile, the confirmed cases on the mainland, excluding foreign entries, occurred mainly in Beijing, Dalian and Shenyang.

But yesterday, there was one in Hebei province around Beijing and four in Heilongjiang province in the north.

In particular, a state of quarantine war has been declared in Shenyang City, a Liaoning province, where more than 20 confirmed cases have been reported in the past 10 days.

Consequently, the Shenyang city authorities blocked residential areas for 100,000 citizens and practically prohibited daily departures.

In addition, 90,000 people classified as close contacts with the confirmed patient are in quarantine.

Shenyang City has also designated 11 small areas as medium risk areas.

With the exception of the staples market, many public places were closed and two metro stations were closed.

Chinese media reports that the infection in Shenyang started with a Chinese woman who arrived from South Korea last month.

In the capital city of Beijing, cases of infection from calling vehicle drivers have been reported, and more than 50 close contacts are now being quarantined and medically observed.

It is said that China will be seriously vaccinated in the new year. What is the situation?

[기자]

Vaccines officially began in Beijing, the capital, and Shandong province, which has a population of around 100 million, beginning on the first day of the new year.

State CCTV said cities are expected to finish vaccinating high-risk groups by the middle of next month.

Specifically, low-temperature food workers, quarantine officers, and medical personnel are targeted.

First, in the middle of this month, the first vaccine is given, followed by the second vaccination 2 to 4 weeks later for the antibodies to form.

Chinese health authorities also revealed that the target age is 18 to 59 years old, and even high-risk groups do not receive vaccines if they are 60 years old or younger.

In addition, since vaccines do not guarantee 100% antibody formation, it is recommended to continue wearing a mask or washing your hands after vaccination.

Chinese authorities say they have already vaccinated 3 million high-risk groups between the middle and end of month 15.

To avoid a winter reappearance of Corona 19, the policy is to complete vaccinations for high-risk groups until the next Lunar New Year holiday.

So far, this is YTN Sungwoong Kang from Beijing.
