[앵커]

As the number of tests decreased in the aftermath of the holiday season, the number of new confirmed cases of Corona 19 per day recorded 300 people on the third day.

However, large and small group infections are continuing, and the risk factors remain as students start to attend school in the new semester.

There are 300 new patients, but we need to watch the trend more after the middle of the week, right?

[기자]

Yes, as of today’s 0 o’clock, the number of new confirmed patients is 344, a little less than the previous day.

Recently, the number of confirmed cases has been stagnant, going back and forth between 3 and 400 people.

Although vaccination has begun, group infections are continuing in families, acquaintances, daycare centers, etc., and school starts from today, making it unsafe.

In addition, since yesterday was a holiday, the number of inspections decreased by about half compared to weekdays, so it seems that it is necessary to observe the trend after the middle of the week.

Looking at the route of infection, 319 cases occurred in Korea and 25 cases were introduced overseas.

When looking at the outbreak in Korea by region, only 241 people in the metropolitan area, including 120 in Seoul, 111 in Gyeonggi, and 10 in Incheon.

In the non-metropolitan area, 17 in Busan, 12 in Daegu, 9 in Jeonbuk, and 7 in Jeonnam.

The number of people who died from Corona 19 increased by 1, and the number of patients with severe gastric disorders increased by 4 to 135.

Corona 19 vaccination counts were also announced, but so far, all adverse reactions have been mild, right?

[기자]

Yesterday, on the fourth day of vaccination, 1,442 people were vaccinated across the country.

As a result, the cumulative number of vaccinations was 23,86 people, and 6.3% of the first vaccination subjects completed the vaccination.

The inoculation rate is 0.04% compared to 52 million people in total.

Four reports of adverse reactions to the vaccine were added a day, all of which were mild.

As a result, the cumulative adverse reaction reports increased to 156.

The reported symptoms of adverse reactions to the vaccine were all mild, such as fever, muscle pain, and headache, and there was no side effect of’anaphylaxis’, a severe systemic allergic reaction.

According to the analysis results of the quarantine authorities, it was found that group infections through family or acquaintances after the Lunar New Year holidays are nearly twice as high, right?

[기자]

Yes, Daebon Bang analyzed the number of infected people through family and acquaintances.

In the first week of February, before the Lunar New Year holiday, 120 patients occurred.

In the second week of the Lunar New Year holiday, the number increased to 183, and in the third week of February, after the Lunar New Year, it increased to 237, nearly twice that of the pre-New Year.

As for the infection route, exposure within the family due to holiday family gatherings was the most, with 56%, and it was found that the N-order transmission occurred through work and acquaintances afterwards.

However, the number of family and acquaintance group infections decreased to 144 in the fourth week of February, thanks to the active cooperation of the people.

The quarantine authorities predicted that the number of confirmed cases in the world, which had declined sharply from the beginning of this year, increased slightly last week, and that there is a possibility of a stagnation period for the time being.

In addition, he stressed that Israel, which has a high vaccination rate, is showing a re-proliferation pattern after the recent decline. It is a case that shows the importance of observing quarantine regulations such as distance and wearing a mask separately from vaccination.
