As the number of newly confirmed coronaviruses recently increased again, the spread of infection has also increased.

At a regular briefing on the 30th, Sook-young Lim, head of the Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said at a regular briefing on the 30th, “As the infectious reproductive index is now slightly above 1, it is judged that the incidence of patients is increasing slightly.” .

The infection reproduction index is an indicator of how many people infected by one confirmed patient. If the number is 1 or more, it means’the spread of the pandemic’, and if it is less than 1, it means’the pandemic suppression’. It exceeded 1 last month, when the third epidemic was spreading, but the number of confirmed cases has recently dropped to 0.8.

General Manager Lim said, “Overall, whether this is a temporary phenomenon or whether it has completely reversed due to an increasing trend, we are carefully reviewing it.”
