[사회]250,000 Pfizer vaccines arrive next week…

[앵커]

In the past two days, the number of corona 19 confirmed patients in Korea, which recorded 300 people in the past two days, again reached the mid-400 range due to the successive mass infection spread.

In addition, the corona 19 vaccination is proceeding smoothly, but fears are growing as the news that several countries in Europe have stopped vaccination against AstraZeneca.

In the midst of this, Pfizer vaccine contracts will arrive in Korea a week later.

Pfizer vaccine contracts coming into Korea next week?

[기자]

This is what the Corona 19 vaccination promotion team revealed a while ago.

First, out of 500,000 Pfizer vaccine contracts, 250,000 are coming in.

It is the 24th.

When the vaccine arrives, it is sent to 22 vaccination centers nationwide.

From the 1st of the following month, seniors aged 75 or older and residents of elderly facilities are eligible.

The remaining 250,000 people are expected to arrive in the last week of this month.

In addition, 1.05 million AstraZeneca Kovacs are also scheduled to be delivered in order from this month to May.

In the local Netherlands, transportation will start on the 31st and the 22nd of the following month.

Considering the transportation period, it is expected that 345,000 people will enter the country at the beginning of next month, and the remaining 705,000 people will enter Korea by the end of next month.

The quarantine authorities have also repeatedly emphasized that the vaccination will be carried out as originally planned despite the suspension of AstraZeneca vaccination in various European countries.

It is because there is no clear reason to stop vaccination at this time.

The quarantine authorities also officially confirmed that there have been reports of blood clots among people who died after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

However, it was revealed that the death was more likely due to a cause other than vaccination, and that the final report was made based on the results of the autopsy.

As of 0 o’clock, there are more than 18,000 vaccinations per day.

As a result, the cumulative number of inoculations exceeded 620,000, and 252 reports of’adverse reactions’ were also received a day.

When the government recently investigated the amount of people’s movement, it has increased to an extent of concern

[기자]

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters said last weekend that the amount of movement across the country increased 6.8% from the previous week.

This is the same as in November last year, before the third epidemic, which is still continuing, is in full swing.

The number of movements in the metropolitan area increased by 2.8% and the amount of movement in the non-metropolitan area increased by 11.2%.

The government also emphasized that this increase in the amount of movement could be a reason for sporadic group infections, and that the size of new patients in the metropolitan area must reach 200 people by next week to maximize the effect without disrupting vaccination.

There are a total of 469 new cases per day.

It has increased by more than a hundred people from the previous day.

There were 452 confirmed cases in Korea and 17 cases from overseas.

By region, there are 323 new patients in the metropolitan area, including 120 in Seoul and 182 in Gyeonggi, and 45 in Gyeongnam and 21 in Jeonbuk outside the metropolitan area.

The death toll increased by 8 and the number of severe gastric patients decreased by 3.

Accordingly, the government decided that the reorganization plan to change the social distancing system would be difficult to apply in the current situation, and announced that it would postpone the release of the final draft this week and refine detailed rules.
