Amid growing concerns about the 4th coronavirus pandemic and public concerns about securing a vaccine, the government has announced that it will finish vaccination with a target of 3 million people within this month.

In addition, AstraZeneca vaccination will begin tomorrow.

With the full-scale spring ahead, concerns about the spread of Corona 19 are even greater.

However, in the middle of winter, the government that warned of the 4th pandemic ahead of the people is now scrambling the people.

Unlike when new patients in the late 600s appeared in the third epidemic, the situation is now stable.

In the midst of this, AstraZeneca vaccination has begun for people with disabilities, carers and flight attendants.

Now what the government is emphasizing is the speed of vaccination, 3 million people this month.

And in the first half, it has promised 12 million vaccinations.

On the one hand, we are strengthening quarantine centering on places where new patients are pouring out these days, such as bathhouses and day care centers.

Of course, it is not known how effective this call for sharing of suffering will be effective in the crisis of the 4th pandemic.

In addition, with the influx of mutant viruses from India through overseas entrants, the front line of K-quarantine is now expanding both inside and outside the country.
