Health officials said yesterday (7th) that Corona19 confirmed 53 people a day, a total of 1384 people.

For the third consecutive day, there were around 50 new confirmed persons.

[Kim Kang-lip / Vice Minister of Health and Welfare: I think it is a positive sign. If this trend continues, it is estimated that stable treatment for severe patients will be possible.]

Corona19 deaths have increased to 200.

Health officials say the fatality rate continues to rise, and the mortality rate of the elderly in their 80s and older is over 20%.

The government has made concrete plans to manage religious facilities such as nursing homes, mental hospitals, closed wards, nursing homes, and churches in order to strengthen prevention management for high-risk groups.

At these facilities, workers and patients should be regularly checked for body temperature and checked for respiratory symptoms.

Visitors should be checked and fevered for symptoms.

Once confirmed, it is mandatory for both the facility staff and the patient to be examined.

The government decided to apply the facility-specific guidelines to the site in earnest starting on Saturday.
