Studies have shown that 7 out of 10 Koreans could be infected with Corona 19 without strong anti-Corona 19 measures such as social distance and closing.

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, USA, analyzed the effects of the anti-corona spread policy, including the blockade, in six countries, including Korea, the United States, France, China, Italy, and Iran. Time) reported.

The results of this study were published in the Nature of Science Journal.

"If there was no suppression policy, we estimate that the initial spread of Corona 19 would have increased exponentially by about 38% per day," he said. "We found that the infection control policy significantly slowed this increase." .

The researchers looked at the pre- and post-infection rates of anti-corona 19 measures in these six countries, including evacuation from home, closure of businesses and stores, and banning travel.

This concluded that 62 million people in all of these six countries had avoided being tested for positive Corona19.

The researchers also estimated that about 530 million people avoided Corona19 infection, even if they were infected and passed without knowing it was not tested.

By country, 38 million people in Korea, 60 million in the United States, 280 million in China, 45 million in France, 54 million in Iran, and 39 million in Italy.

Considering that Korea's resident registration population was about 58.4 million as of last year, 7 out of 10 (73.3%) avoided corona19 infection as a suppression measure.

Researchers from Imperial College London, UK, also published similar findings in Nature this day.

In 11 European countries, including the United Kingdom, the blockade saved the lives of 3.1 million people and lowered the infection rate by an average of 82%.

Researchers at the University of London at Peer College say that only about 3 to 4% of the country's population has been infected with Corona 19. "It's just the beginning of this epidemic. The.

"We are not saying that we should block the country forever," the researchers said. "We can normalize economic activity to some extent as long as we take some action to curb the spread of Corona19."

The WP noted that the findings indicated that the "aggressive and unprecedented blockades produced massive economic blows and unemployment, but were effective in stopping the exponential expansion of Corona 19."
