Furthermore, the number of new confirmed cases reaches 300 to 400 every day and the infectious properties index remains above 1, which is cause for concern.

◇ It takes time to build immunity after vaccination … The number of confirmed cases since vaccination in the UK.
However, quarantine authorities remain nervous apart from corona 19 vaccination. Even if vaccination is started, it takes a considerable amount of time to see the immune effect.
The AstraZeneca vaccine, which started on day 26, also takes up to 12 weeks to complete the second vaccination, and it takes about 2 weeks to generate neutralizing antibodies even after the second vaccination is complete.
Now, vaccination has begun for first-vaccination patients, residents, and workers in hospitals and nursing facilities, and it takes longer for the nation to receive the vaccine. Quarantine authorities are also targeting when to form herd immunity in November.

It is similar to the 411 people (August 27), who were the most confirmed patients during the second outbreak in August last year.
The trend of occurrence of new confirmed cases is’ 362 → 326 → 343 → 457 → 621 → 621 → 561 → 448 → 416 → 332 → 356 → 440 → 396 → 406 for two weeks from February 13 to February 26 to starting from 0 or “clock. People”.
Infectious material production index nationwide △ February 14-20 1.12 △ February 21-25, 1.05, metropolitan area △ February 14-20 1.09 △ February 21-25, 1.03 for 2 consecutive weeks 1 It’s over. The infectious reproduction index is a quantification of how many additional infected individuals per confirmed case.
