As mentioned earlier, the government said it was important to stop the spread in the Daegu region today (24th), but it is also a big problem that there are still more patients whose path of infection is unknown.

The possibility of further infection is increasing, Han Se-hyun said.

75% of patients confirmed corona 19 in Korea were classified as related to Daegu Sincheon Regionalization and Daenam Hospital in Qingdao, Gyeongbuk.

However, with the exception of confirmed cases of foreign inflows, about 2 out of 10 confirmed patients are still unknown.

In particular, 30 Israeli Holy Land Pilgrimage Corps and 22 members of Busan Hot Spring Church, men who were positive after being found dead in Gyeongju, and men in their 20s in Jeonbuk are still unaware of how and where the first infection occurred.

[Kim Kang-lip, Deputy General Manager of Central Accident and Prosecution Division: Almost 30,000 people can collect more than this number of samples and diagnose it early, which is not possible with local capabilities alone.]

If the infection path is not identified, the possibility of further infection increases.

Therefore, it is urgent to establish an early diagnosis system for people with symptoms such as colds with the help of private medical institutions.

[Professor Jae-Wook Choi / Dept. Of Preventive Medicine, Korea University College of Medicine: All patients with symptoms should be investigated nationwide. Min-gwan responds with all efforts, and you have to find it and filter it. For two to three weeks. Then it will be solved.]

Earlier, the government also announced that it would permit telephone consultations and prescriptions for prescription prescriptions by fax after receiving consultations by telephone from all medical institutions for a limited time. It is possible to misunderstand pneumonia as a cold.
