As the number of new corona19 confirmed patients soared to the mid-600s, there is growing anxiety about whether the fourth outbreak has come before the third outbreak. On the 7th, the number of confirmed cases increased by 668 a day (653 local outbreaks, 15 foreign inflows), which is the highest number of new confirmed cases in 89 days.
There are 175 new confirmed cases in the Gyeonggi area, and it has been about two weeks since 196 cases were released on the 26th of last month that more than 170 cases were confirmed a day in the province. Seoul and Incheon were identified as 196 and 44, respectively. As a result, the number of confirmed cases in the metropolitan area was 413, accounting for 63.2% of the total occurrence.
With an average of 544.7 confirmed cases per day for the past week, the number of confirmed cases of local outbreaks on average daily, which is a key indicator for adjusting the distance, is 523.7, exceeding the standard of 2.5 stages (over 400-500 nationwide, etc.). Some are concerned that the 4th epidemic is in full swing.
In the province, 7 additional people were confirmed in the province regarding the sister church circuit meeting of one church, and 3 additional people were related to the sports facility in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon and the church. On the 30th of last month, two additional people were added to the window manufacturer in Pocheon City, where the first confirmed cases were released, and a total of 15 people were confirmed related to the business site.
The quarantine authorities analyze the background of the rapid increase in the number of new confirmed cases, and the increased awareness of quarantine in daily life and the increase in the amount of movement in the spring may have had an effect.
In recent years, group infections that link everyday spaces such as various small groups and workplaces, churches, and entertainment facilities have emerged one after another. The quarantine authorities are tense, judging that the number of confirmed cases is likely to increase for the time being.
In response to this situation, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun announced that he will expand free tests so that anyone can receive corona 19 diagnostic tests at all public health centers across the country in the future.
Prime Minister Chung said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters presided at the Jeonbuk Provincial Office on the same day, and asked, “If the people think of’just in case’, they must visit the nearest public health center and have them undergo an examination.”
In the midst of this, Janssen’s vaccine, which can prevent Corona 19 even if it is hit once, has been officially licensed in Korea. Janssen is the third corona 19 vaccine approved in Korea after AstraZeneca and Pfizer.
According to the final inspection committee of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Janssen’s COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial resulted in 66.9% of the preventive effect after 14 days of vaccination and 66.1% after the 28th. It is also evaluated that the safety is generally good.
Of the 43,783 patients enrolled in the clinical trial, seven serious adverse drug reactions that could not be excluded from the vaccine administration were reported to be recovering at the time of data submission.
Meanwhile, the government announced on the 9th an adjustment plan for’social distancing’ that will be applied starting next week, taking into account the spread of the infectious epidemic.
