Looking at the recent trend of new coronavirus confirmed cases, more and more cases of people entering the country from overseas are getting confirmed. In particular, as the mutant virus is spreading rapidly overseas, the health authorities have decided to expand the quarantine of immigrants. Among these, today (8th), the number of new coronavirus cases is expected to be around 300.
This news is from Park Soo-jin.
Among the confirmed cases of Corona 19, the number of foreign inflows was 46, an increase of 19 from the previous day.
It was the most in 6 months since July of last year.
Twenty-seven were confirmed during the immigration process, and the remaining 19 were tested positive for self-isolation at their residence or temporary living facility.
Although the number is smaller than that of domestic infections, the concern is due to the rapidly spreading mutant virus.
There are 51 confirmed domestic mutant viruses.
An increasing number of cases are spreading to local communities by foreign immigrants infected with mutations.
There are 18 countries estimated to have introduced mutant viruses, and only 5 places including the UK, South Africa, Brazil, UAE, and Syria are subject to full screening.
The rest of the country analyzes the entire genome by selecting only 10-20%.
In addition, 9 out of 12 confirmed mutant infections were not subject to full screening.
Currently, strengthened entry quarantine is being applied to the UK, South Africa, and Brazil only, such as strengthening the fever test standard and submitting a negative confirmation letter.
