The spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea is unusual.
For four consecutive days, the number of new confirmed cases reached 200 and on the 18th it soared to 300. The 300 confirmed cases are 81 days after August 29 (323), when the second epidemic centered in the metropolitan area was in full swing.
Until the beginning of this month there were around 100 people, but as of the 8th, the three-digit number for 11 consecutive days (143 → 126 → 100 → 146 → 143 → 191 → 205 → 208 → 222 → 230 people) → 313 ), especially in the last week, from 100 to 200 to 300.
The government decided to increase the ‘social distance’ in the metropolitan area, all of Gwangju and some parts of Gangwon as of 19 to prevent the national ‘pandemic’, but latent infections in the area appear to be significant, so the size of new cases confirmed so far It is likely to be larger.
Furthermore, as the number of confirmed entries abroad shows a rapid increase, the government’s response to the quarantine is intensifying.
◇ 2,800 confirmed cases in November, more than confirmed cases in October
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Daebon), the number of new confirmed cases increased by 313 at 0 o’clock on the day, and the cumulative number of infections reached 29,311.
Among them, 2,800 confirmed cases occurred this month. Compared to those who were confirmed from 1 to 18 last month (1,388), it has more than doubled. There are more than 2,700 confirmed cases in the month of October.
Most of the new cases are infected patients in the community.
In recent years, the number of new confirmed cases is increasing day by day as group infections continue to occur in everyday places such as saunas, cafes, metro stations and clubs, as well as in medical institutions and nursing facilities vulnerable to Corona. 19.
The number of confirmed local outbreaks also increased and decreased from 1 to 10 this month, but from 11 to 16, the number of 100 people (113 → 128 → 162 → 166 → 176 → 192) continued for 6 consecutive days. Dunney recorded 202 the day before and 245 that day, registering 200 people for two consecutive days.
Infectious disease experts believe that the “third epidemic” has actually started after the first pandemic in Daegu and Gyeongbuk and the second outbreak in the metropolitan area.
Choi Won-seok, professor of infectious medicine at the Ansan Hospital of Korea University, said of the third epidemic, “it is already in front of you” and “it is a situation where the number of patients is increasing and there is a possibility that it increases “.
Lee Jae-gap, professor of infectious medicine at Hallym University Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, also expressed concern, saying: “(The third epidemic) has already started. Social distancing is also late and awareness of the audience is lazy. “
The first pandemic refers to the time when hundreds of confirmed cases were recorded each day in Daegu and Gyeongbuk last February and March. After peaking at 909 on February 29, it gradually decreased to 600 people → 500 people → 400 people → 300 people → 200 people, and in mid-March, around 100 people fluctuated, but on April 2 (89 people) double digits After dropping to, it remained below 100.
The second epidemic occurred in a loop between churches in the metropolitan area and urban gatherings on Liberation Day, with three-digit numbers of confirmed patients confirmed for 37 consecutive days from August 14 to September 19. After peaking on August 27 (441), the number has dropped to a double digit from 300 to 200 to 100.
◇ Cases of inflows abroad are also increasing amid global trends … A total of 3 times more than 50 confirmed cases per day

So far, the number of confirmed entries abroad exceeded 50 only twice on March 25 (51) and July 25 (86). This is the third time. July 25, in addition to the arrival of the Russian ship’s crew in the port of Busan, was an unusual case of a temporary surge in Korean workers returning from the Iraqi construction site when they were diagnosed as confirmed.
The 28th of last month (7 people) was the last time the number of confirmed foreign entries came out in single digits, and since then, there has been a steady increase in the 10-30 range.
Since the 29th of last month, the number of confirmed cases per day is 19 → 21 → 31 → 23 → 18 → 29 → 20 → 17 → 28 → 17 → 25 → 27 → 29 → 33 People → 15 people → 29 people → 39 people → 32 people → 30 people → 28 people → 68 people, only 6 times in days greater than 30 people.
This increase is interpreted as linked to the global corona epidemic19.
