Following the recent metropolitan area, the number of confirmed persons is rapidly increasing in Gwangju and Daejeon. After analyzing why, it was confirmed that the GH type, a mutated virus of Corona 19, which is different from the existing ones, is spreading all over the country. We first told you that the coronavirus that spread around the Itaewon Club in May was the prevalent form in Europe and the United States. It adheres well to the human body, so it has a strong propagation power and proliferation.

First, reporter Kim Hyeong-rae.

World Health Organization categorizes the Corona19 virus into three groups.

S-type (A) detected in early Wuhan, China, V-type (B) prevalent throughout China and Asia, and G-type (C) sweeping the United States and Europe.

When the health authorities analyzed the gene sequence of 526 domestic viruses, the dominant virus type change was confirmed.

Unlike the initial infection in Wuhan or the Shincheonji Daegu church, the GH virus, a type of G, has been continuously detected since the Itaewon group infection.

The recent epidemic in the metropolitan area, Daejeon, and Gwangju are all attributed to GH.


[Jeongeungyeong / Disease Management Division: There were very many arrivals from Europe or the United States or abroad, in March-April, then which was introduced viruses (interpreted) that led to the recent epidemic]

The problem is that G-type virus viruses 'D614G' mutation occurs in the spike protein, the link between human cells and human cells, so the cell proliferation is better and the propagation power is much higher.

[Lee Geun-hwa/Professor, Department of Microbiology, College of Medicine, Hanyang University: D614G When the part is changed, when the amino acid is changed, the adhesion is excellent. In the end, the attachment is good, so the propagation power is strong.]

Regarding the World Health Organization's recommendation that more than 200 scientists around the world should recognize the possibility of airborne corona 19, our health authorities say they need additional research and wear a mask. I repeatedly emphasized that this is important.
