On the 14th, the first weekend after Gyeonggi Province issued an administrative order for a full inspection of the 19th crown by foreign workers and employers, foreign citizens and workers who lined up for the test at a clinic in temporary screening for novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) at Suwon Station Square, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si Booth. 2021.3.14 / News1 © News1 Reporter Seungbae Lee |
As the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) increased, the reproduction rate of the infection recovered and increased to ‘1.07’. Just a week ago, the rate of infectious reproduction in all regions of the country fell below ‘1’, raising expectations of complaints for corona 19.
However, the situation has been reversed as the number of confirmed local outbreaks in Korea surpassed the 400 mark for the last six days in a row. At 0 o’clock on the 14th, the daily average of confirmed cases of local outbreaks for a week was 433.6, which has already risen to the level of 2.5 steps away. There are concerns that the observations of the “fourth outbreak” in March and April could become a reality if the current trend cannot be overcome.
Quarantine authorities predicted that vaccines for those vulnerable to Corona 19 will be finished only after the second quarter. Until now, the corona19 epidemic should be suppressed as far as possible, but it is a position that worries you a lot as a factor that increases the momentum such as opening and spring.
◇ Infectious Material Production Index ‘0.94 → 1.07’ … Corona 19 Heads Backward
Sohn Young-rae, Head of the Social Strategy Division, Accident Control Headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said: “The national infectious reproductive index was 1.07 last week (March 7-13) , up from 0.94 last week, showing more than 1 “in a briefing on Corona 19. He said:” I am a little concerned because the epidemic situation is showing a slight increase in the last week. “
The Infectious Reproduction Index is an index that can confirm the prevalence of infectious diseases and represents the size of the infected person born to an infected person. If the index value exceeds 1, it means that the spread will not decrease and will increase.
The proportion of confirmed patients who could not determine the route of infection also increased. Of the 3,121 confirmed cases that occurred from March 7 to 13, the rate during the investigation of the route of infection reached 24.5% (763). This is an increase of 2.3 percentage points (p) from 22.2% the previous week.
As the number of cases in which it is difficult to determine the route of infection increases, rapid response, such as epidemiological investigations, becomes difficult. If the quarantine response is delayed, the link where the umpteenth transmission of the infection occurs cannot be blocked and third-party infections continue to occur.
New infections also increased. The management ratio within the quarantine network, which refers to the proportion of new confirmed cases in self-isolation, was 38.4%, compared to 46.9% the previous week. However, it is estimated that the incidence of new group infections has decreased from 44 cases to 25 cases and has spread between individuals.
◇ 86.6% of the hospital nursing vaccination rate progressed … Vaccination of risk groups for the second trimester
Fortunately, the hospital bed works stably. It is possible to use 3,719 beds in the Life Therapy Center, 6,239 beds in the hospital dedicated to infectious diseases, 250 beds for semi-critical patients and 604 beds for critical patients. 1,155 medical staff members, including doctors and nurses, are dispatched to support treatment and examinations.
Vaccines are also spreading. At 0 o’clock in the day, the number of first-line vaccines for Corona 19 increased by 3847 to 58.7884. The number of vaccinations against AstraZeneca (AZ) was 56,785 and the vaccination from Pfizer was 26,099.
The primary vaccination rate was 1.13% based on 58.82.5932 people nationwide (at the end of January 2021). By vaccination institution and target audience, 176,764 people (86.6%) in nursing hospitals, 83,898 people (77.3%) in nursing centers, 41,457 people (55.0%) as first aiders, 2,596,666 people ( 75.0%) in medical institutions of hospital level and above.), There are 260,000 (44.9%) of Corona 19 patient treatment hospitals.
In addition, around 900,000 residents and workers aged 65 and over, elderly, disabled, homeless, etc. in the second quarter, around 380,000 health workers not included in the February-March vaccination plan, including doctors and pharmacists in neighborhood hospitals. and flight attendants and medical care Teachers and others are expected to complete the vaccination. The detailed plan for the second trimester vaccination is scheduled to be announced on the 15th.
“By the second quarter, vaccinations will be completed for a large number of population groups and the risk of the epidemic will be greatly reduced.” It’s the key, “he said.
He said: “I am very concerned because there are many factors that increase the amount of movement in the future, such as the beginning of the year and spring.”
