Furthermore, the spread of the mutant virus, which is known to have a much stronger transmission power relative to the UK mutant virus, will act as a heavy burden on the quarantine system. We ordered that the quarantine system be carefully reviewed and supplemented to prevent the influx of mutant viruses from dangerous countries. In this regard, the transcript said in a back-briefing some time ago that so far only mutations have been confirmed in three patients, and no virus has been found in the rest of the passengers.
