In a briefing at Geneva's headquarters in Switzerland yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) mentioned a surge in the number of people infected with Corona19.

Thewards say the number of patients in Korea is manageable.

[Theward Ross Adhanom Gerberus / WHO Secretary-General: (Korea) The number of patients is manageable. I hope Korea can do a good job in the early stages of patient proliferation.]

Although the number of patients increased significantly, the study found that the Corona 19 virus did not cause unique epidemiological changes in Korea.

[Oliver Morgan / WHO Risk Assessment Director: The number of confirmed patients (in Korea) seems large, but most of them are related to existing cases. That is why it is not seen as a special sign of dynamics all over the world.]

The WHO says the results of the clinical trials of the two treatments, led by its own research and development team, will be available within three weeks.

One is the combination of ritonavir and lopinavir, which are used to treat human immunodeficiency virus.

The WHO's international team of experts sent to China to investigate the Corona19 involved nine organizations from seven countries, including Seoul National University Medical School.
