“People Entering South Asia, Additional Corona 19 Testing Before Quarantine Release”

The recently reported South African mutant virus is known to be highly contagious and is of great concern. Quarantine authorities have decided to take preventive measures against immigrants from South Africa, despite the fact that the mutant virus has not yet been detected in Korea. This is Jo Eun-ji. The mutant virus, which is prevalent in South Africa, is characterized by better binding to cells than the existing Corona 19 and invading the human body. The cell receptor binding site is broad and close. Quarantine authorities said no South African mutant viruses have been found in Korea. However, they are taking preventive measures to avoid the national influx. Moving forward, immigrants leaving South Africa, in addition to the existing diagnostic tests and 14-day quarantine measures, will be further screened for Corona 19 before the quarantine is lifted. Again, it’s the same measure that required pre-quarantine diagnostic tests for those arriving from the UK, where the mutant virus has spread. From last October until the day before yesterday (25), there were a total of 505 immigrants who left South Africa, of which seven were confirmed. The quarantine authorities explained that the seven confirmed cases will be confirmed by a complete genomic analysis and that they are currently being analyzed. The experts advised that mutations should be prevented from spreading by delaying the point of entry and wary of excessive concerns as the mutation progresses toward greater spread but less severity.
