As the number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea appeared with 100 people for three consecutive days, the quarantine authorities diagnosed “there are many points to evaluate positively today.” However, she emphasized that the size of the risk must be reduced by keeping a more careful distance and wearing masks at a time when Corona 19 can spread rapidly across the country at any time if a large-scale group infection occurs.
Joon-wook Kwon, deputy director of Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), explained the trend of outbreaks of domestic patients in a briefing held at the Centers for Disease Control in Osong, Chungbuk on the 5th and diagnosed: “There are many points to evaluate positively in the current situation.”
“First, the overall size of confirmed cases has decreased and the size and proportion of unclassified (routes of infection) have decreased. Furthermore, the scale of incidence of seriously ill patients has slowed down and the scale of self-isolation is also decreasing.
However, the deputy director of Kwon emphasized that in such a situation, the tension should not be released. Deputy Director General Kwon said: “In the current situation, where the increase in confirmed cases is barely suppressed by active distancing from the public, we must continue to avoid personal contact and meetings while further reducing the size of the risk.” “The current situation can escalate to a nationwide outbreak if there is another large outbreak at any time. This is a time when the accumulated risks that have accumulated so far that can paralyze the medical response system beyond epidemiological capacity are very high. ”
Kwon headquarters also emphasized that in the fall and winter seasons, influenza viruses and even respiratory infections could become frequent, which could be a disadvantage. He said: “The spread and suppression of Corona 19 may alternate in the future, and the three-stage distancing may inevitably be implemented one day, but the situation should be a last resort,” he asked all people to join the quarantine. .
According to Bang Dae-bon, there were 168 confirmed cases in Korea at 0 o’clock today, and the number of confirmed patients has been around 100 for the third day since the third. There are 159 patients with serious or serious illnesses.
