Quarantine authorities said the death rate of the mutant virus from the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) discovered in the UK and South Africa is not yet precisely known. In addition to the high infectivity, the risk is interpreted as unknown. The government is blocking national entry by strengthening the quarantine from abroad.
Kim Eun-jin, head of the first inspection and analysis team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a regular briefing on Corona 19 on day 2: “Currently, in the case of the UK mutant virus Apart from the report that the spreading power has increased by about 70%, no other information has been confirmed.
Furthermore, he added, “there have been no reports on appearance, such as death rates, apart from reports from the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the spread of South African mutant viruses has increased based on the number of patients. .
The South African mutant virus was identified in the GH group by type. It is the same group of viruses that has prevailed in Korea since May. However, the individual mutant genes were found to be different.
In this regard, Kim Eun-jin explained: “In the case of the South African mutant virus, seven mutations, including N501Y, are observed at the site of the spike mutant protein,” he said. “These mutations have not been found in the domestic epidemic.”
He said: “The South African virus is investigating whether the infectivity of the virus is higher,” he said. “It is a part that needs to be confirmed more scientifically in the future.”
The government has confirmed 9 cases of mutant virus originating in the UK and 1 case of mutant virus originating in South Africa. Among them, one case of transmission of a mutant virus originating in the United Kingdom occurred within the family, but there was no influx into the community.
Meanwhile, the government analyzed that the British mutant virus belongs to the GR group and belongs to the same G group as the GH group.
