Currently, the number of domestic patients nationwide has surpassed 1,000 and the metropolitan area has recorded 786, showing a very steep increase. As the government is expanding preemptive tests, the number of patients is highly likely to continue to increase.

To this end, 22 local governments such as Seoul and Gyeonggi will open life treatment centers with 2400 beds. It is also planned to open a central life treatment center with 1,000 beds in 3 places.
