[사회]”The third epidemic slows down” despite the confirmation of 1,000 people… What are the risks?

[앵커]

The number of new corona19 patients was 1,020, reaching the 1,000 level again in three days.

The government said that the impact of group infection in detention centers and nursing hospitals was large, and that the overall tertiary outbreak is slowing.

However, there is no reassurance, but reporter Lee Hyeong-won reports what risk factors are due.

Despite the small number of tests on weekends, the number of new patients rose to 1,000.

It was confirmed in the first three days of a thousand people, and the government judged it as a temporary increase.

It is said that the impact of large-scale group infections such as detention centers and nursing hospitals is great.

I thought the third pandemic itself was slowing.

The average number of domestic patients in the past 3 weeks has been gradually decreasing,

The infection reproductive index, which shows how many people a single confirmed person infects, has also dropped to about 1.0 in two months.

Although the tertiary outbreak is being managed to some extent, it is diagnosed that the risk factors remain.

More than 1 in 4 patients do not know where and how they were infected in the last week.

That said, there are many hidden sources of infection in the local community, and the damage was large as it spread through group infection in vulnerable facilities.

In fact, 149 people died last week due to group infections in nursing homes, most of them in their 60s.

A global corona19 outbreak is expected this year, and the influx of mutant viruses with high transmission power is also burdensome.

Until collective immunity is achieved with vaccination, the government has urged that only reducing human contact can minimize damage.
