With the corona 19 vaccination approaching a week ahead, the number of new confirmed cases is rapidly increasing, and the spread of Corona 19 is again accelerating.
As of this month, the number of new confirmed patients, which fell to the late 200 level, remained at 300 during the Lunar New Year holiday, when the number of tests decreased, and then has soared from 400 to 600.
As of 0:00 this morning, the number of new confirmed cases to be announced is expected to be around 500.
The number of new confirmed cases that the quarantine authorities and local governments such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government counted between 0 a.m. yesterday and 9 p.m. last night was 495, which was 69 fewer than the 564 recorded at the same time the previous day.
The recent increase in the number of confirmed cases is largely due to the successive impact of group infections in medical institutions and factories.
According to Bang Dae-bon, a total of 52 cases of group outbreaks related to large-scale workplaces such as university hospitals and factories from January were counted, with an average of 26.1 confirmed cases per case.
The number of confirmed cases related to Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital in Yongsan-gu, Seoul increased by 31 a day to 171, and the number of confirmed cases related to Hanyang University Hospital in Seongdong-gu reached 110.
At the plastic manufacturing plant in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do, 123 people were positive as of yesterday, and at least 149 confirmed cases nationwide were confirmed at the cricket boiler manufacturing plant in Asan, Chungnam.
There are also voices of concern about the ‘4th outbreak’ as the effects of’social distancing’ and the eased business hours restrictions of multi-use facilities in the metropolitan area are likely to appear gradually.
The government is reviewing measures to reinforce quarantine measures, such as distancing, if the spread continues, while monitoring the state of sporadic infections nationwide.
