Here I will organize the situation once again until today (2nd). The total number of patients identified so far is 4,335. In just two days, the number of patients has surpassed 4,000 again. 33 people have been cured so far.

Ahn Sang-woo analyzed the trend of patient growth.

On January 20, it took a month for the first confirmed patients in Korea to arrive in Korea, and then the total number of patients in Korea was 30.

The average number of confirmed patients increased by one person per day.

However, the situation has changed since the arrival of patient 31, a member of the church in Shincheon-ji Daegu on the 18th of last month.

In a day, 20 additional checks were made and in more than 100 in two days.

Since then, the rate has grown even faster, surpassing 2,000 by more than 1,000 in two days.

And again, in two days, it had doubled to 4,335.

Although the number of confirmed patients has increased rapidly, the number of patients who have been released because of the symptoms have been cured has remained around 33.

The increase in doctors is much faster than the rate of treatment.

The concentration of 381 patients in Daegu, 624 in Gyeongbuk, and 2,418 in particular, the Shinchonji Church, has concentrated on specific areas and factors, making it difficult for health authorities to respond.

[Eun-Kyung Chung / Head of Disease Control Division: Since there was no patient and the patient began to develop again, there seems to be some time difference between the release of the quarantine among the confirmed patients as soon as possible.]

As the number of confirmed surges, the death toll also increased rapidly, killing 26 people.
