Even if you turn your eyes out of the country, Corona 19 shows no signs of diminishing. According to the World Health Organization, the number of new confirmers in the world is over 230,000, breaking the record set two days ago. In addition, it has been reported that people who have been cured of an infection once more can be infected again after a few months.

This is a report from a reporter.

WHO said in the past 24 hours, 23,370 people worldwide have been newly infected with the Corona 19 virus.

That was nearly 10,000 more than the 228,000 people who were recorded as the largest number of confirmed people a day ago.

By continent, the number of confirmed Americans, including the United States, was 14,992, followed by those in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Africa.

A German hospital recently reexamined nine patients infected with corona in January and found that four had fewer neutralizing antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus.

Decreasing the number of neutralizing antibodies means that a person who has been infected with corona can be infected again, he said.

Earlier, a Chinese research team also published a study that showed that antibodies formed by corona infection rapidly declined in two to three months.

In Japan yesterday (12th), 407 people were infected a day, and since April 24, the number of confirmed patients has increased again to 400.

With infections spreading across Japan, including confirmed cases from 23 regions of 47 cities and towns nationwide, the number of confirmed cases has increased by more than 2,000 in the past week.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government has eased regulations on hosting large-scale events such as allowing professional soccer and baseball to enter the audience from the 10th.
