As of today’s 0 o’clock, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases is 303 with 273 domestic outbreaks and 30 overseas inflows.

In the metropolitan area, as group infection continued in hospitals, saunas, ballrooms, and restaurants, 217 confirmed cases of domestic outbreaks poured out, and in non-metropolitan areas, patients infected with mutant viruses with strong transmission power occurred.

There are 24 mutant viruses in the UK and 1 in each of the South African and Brazilian types, 22 cases from overseas, but 4 cases are domestic.

Additional infections related to outbreaks of Syrian relatives in Gyeongnam and Jeollanam-do came from Gimhae, Yangsan, and Dong-gu, Busan.

The quarantine authorities said that all four cases in Korea were foreigners, but they did not have travel history in other countries, but requested the cooperation of immigrants, saying that the spread of the local community was also in the US or France.

“In order to prevent the spread of the mutant virus in Korea, the cooperation of immigrants in particular is absolutely necessary. The principle of zero tolerance will be applied to violators of self-isolation. In the event of a violation, an investigation will be immediately requested and a prosecution will be taken. “

In the meantime, a simulation training for Pfizer vaccination was conducted at the National Medical Center, which is the central vaccination center for Corona 19, for Pfizer vaccination, which is difficult to manage, such as storage at a cryogenic temperature of -70 degrees Celsius.

AstraZeneca vaccine, the first vaccine introduced in Korea, will be vaccinated to residents and workers in nursing hospitals or nursing facilities from the 26th when the final approval of the KFDA is received tomorrow (10th).
