Nine months after the ‘first pandemic’, centered on the Shincheonji Daegu church, the number of confirmed cases reached the level of 500.

The third pandemic is spreading faster than quarantine authorities expected, and infectious disease experts worry it is not at its peak.

Reporter Jung Hyun-woo’s report.

This is the first time since last March that more than 500 confirmed cases have appeared.

At that time, as the Shincheonji Daegu Church-related infection spread, up to 900 confirmed patients per day dropped below 500 on March 6.

This third pandemic has already overcome the second pandemic that spread with the Sarangjeil church and the Gwanghwamun demonstration.

In the second pandemic, when the number of confirmed cases was higher, the number was around 400.

This time, it is worrying that it did not go through 400 people, but went directly from 300 people to the final 500 people.

Experts are also analyzing that now is not the peak, and that up to a thousand confirmed cases may come out.

People need time to move less and less as distance increases, and because they are often infected during daily life, it is difficult to focus quarantine capacity on a specific group, making it difficult to control the spread.

Quarantine authorities have repeatedly urged citizens to postpone all meetings scheduled for the end of the year and the beginning of the year until the third pandemic has subsided.
