[사회]Over 200 New Patients … First Group GV Virus Confirmed in Korea

[앵커]

Starting today (14), it will be 300 days after the national Corona 19 outbreak is confirmed.

However, due to small group infection and the increase in the number of foreign patients, the number of new patients per day surpassed the 200 mark in 70 days, and the quarantine front also turned red again.

This is reporter Seung-Hoon Lee.

The spread of Corona 19 is unusual.

Despite much effort, the number of confirmed cases did not decrease, but increased, but in the end, it crossed the ‘200 new patient line’ again.

It has been 73 days since the beginning of September.

The extent of the spread is more worrying.

The number of new patients in the metropolitan area was recorded for two days in a row, and about 10 patients were distributed in various other regions.

In addition, about 40 foreign patients are being confirmed as evidence of the crisis situation in the United States and Europe.

It appears that even the quarantine authorities’ efforts to somehow defuse the situation are struggling.

Also, Corona 19, which we live with, is already fighting with a changed face.

Instead of the group S and V viruses that were once prevalent, the group GH virus that hit the US has become the ‘popular virus’ in Korea last month, and the existence of a reclassified type of virus of group GV.
