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

[Gerberus / WHO Secretary-General: Corona19 Virus has become a stronghold in many countries, and now pandemic threats are 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 of it can't be controlled, the Corona 19 is different.

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

Finding, quarantining, and tracking contacts, as well as contacting people, must be taken in countries where community infections have spread, such as closings or canceling large assemblies.

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

In particular, South Korea explained that it tried to find corona19 patients and contacts by expanding the network, such as the introduction of the Drive Through Clinic.
