The World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the global pandemic, or pandemic threat, with respect to Corona 19 has become a reality.

[Yusus / WHO Secretary General: The Corona 19 virus has become a stronghold in many countries, and now the pandemic threat is becoming a reality.]

However, the WHO Secretary-General Yeosu said, "We will be the first pandemic to be controlled for the first time in history."

"More than 70% of the 80,000 confirmed patients reported in China have recovered and have been discharged."

While the term pandemic refers to when an epidemic occurs between countries and the spread is uncontrollable, it emphasizes that Corona 19 is different.

In particular, the WHO called for all countries to take a comprehensive strategy to control and contain Corona19.

We need to find, quarantine, track contacts, and take measures such as school closures and cancellations in countries where community infections have spread.

He also suggested that Singapore and South Korea have shown that these measures work.

In particular, Korea explained that it has tried to find corona 19 and contacts by expanding the 'net network' by introducing the 'Drive Through' clinic.
