<Anchor> The
news that there were more than 30 million corona confirmed cases around the world, we delivered yesterday (17th), and the results of a survey that one out of seven patients is a medical staff came out.
That's about five times higher than the rate of people infected with coronavirus.

Tanah, a nurse who has been caring for COVID-19 patients for more than 10 hours a day, was confirmed in June.
[Tana/Nurse (Corona 19 patient): Pain continues from here to below. It comes behind the neck. I can't even sleep.] The
World Health Organization's WHO said that one out of seven corona19 confirmed cases around the world was a medical person.
[Rejected by Yeosus/WHO Secretary General: About 14% of corona19 patients worldwide reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) are medical workers, and in some countries 35%.] The
number of medical workers is usually 3% of the total population. Considering that it is less than that, it is about 5 times higher than that of the general population.
Amnesty, an international human rights organization, estimated that there are more than 7,000 medical staff around the world who died from Corona 19.
By country, Mexico had the highest number of medical worker deaths at 1,320.
In addition, one out of four health care workers suffered from depression and anxiety, and one out of three suffered from insomnia.
[Mike Ryan/WHO Emergency Response Team Leader: Frontline medical workers are working under tremendous pressure and tension. What we can do is to equip them with the equipment and environment so that they can work in the safest way.] In
Korea, when surveyed last July, there were 130 medical staff infected with the corona, out of the 13,000 cumulative confirmed cases at the time. It accounted for about 1%.
