Joon-ok Kwon, deputy director of the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (hereinafter Bang Dae-bon), responded to the suspicion of arbitrarily adjusting the number of new confirmed patients per day by adjusting the number of diagnostic tests in the session. Corona 19 regular briefing held at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Osong, Chungbuk, the afternoon of the 15th, “I’m a bit surprised. It is,” he said.
“The quarantine authorities always listen to the opinions of experts based on the situation as it is, only if the corona epidemic19 must be suppressed, the fatality rate reduced and the sacrifice minimized,” he said.
At the same time, the deputy director of Kwon emphasized that “this concept of increasing testing when necessary is not in the mind or heart of the KCDC.”
Earlier, Congressman Yoon Hee-sook posted a post on Facebook the day before (14), saying, “On weekends, although the number of prosecutors decreases as the number of prosecutors decreases, the results of the quarantine appear and the number of confirmed cases decreases “. The suspicion that it promotes fear, and the suspicion that the government is using it for other purposes, has not disappeared ”, he argued.
Representative Yoon also raised questions about the results of Bang Dae-bon’s antibody research.
Bang Dae-bon said that the antibody was found in only one (0.07%) as a result of an antibody investigation in 1.44 people the day before. Representative Yoon said, “It is true that the results are incredible.” He noted that it was great and said, “It’s difficult to generalize because the number of samples is small.
Regarding this, Deputy Head of HQ Kwon said: “Some may raise questions and express doubts about antibody research” and “Additional research was conducted on 10,000 people, a survey of enlisted military, a survey of 3,000 cases in Daegu area and health examinations. After that, we will proceed with the investigation of the antibody retention rate as announced by investigating the use of residual samples, and proceed with quarantine measures to protect the health of people based in the evidence ”.
Also, Kwon said, “if anyone has any misunderstandings about the quarantine authorities, I will try to provide additional explanations at any time.”
