Corona 19 Korean patients increased 11 people a day yesterday (21 days). Although the social tensions have decreased as the number of new confirmers has been around for 10 days, the quarantine authorities are preparing for a long-term war, saying that the virus epidemic can last for almost two years. An interim study of corona19 antibodies was also published, indicating that about half of the recovery patients who developed antibodies were re-positive.

What it means, a medical journalist Cho Dong-chan will tell.

<Reporter> The

results of Korea's first interim investigation into the effect of corona19 antibodies have been published.

Quarantine authorities surveyed 25 confirmed cases, and while corona19 was present, only half of the antibodies were present, but all of them were found to be cured when no virus was detected.

Although the timing of antibody formation varies from patient to patient, most of the antibodies are analyzed.

However, 12 people and 48% were re-established after discharge.

In response, health authorities did not interpret antibody formation as meaningless.

This is because viral genetic testing, ie RT PCR, has a limit to determining whether a piece of a dead virus is positive.

When antibodies are sufficient not be a big problem, even if you get re-tested positive Is that you can.The Director of Virus Analysis at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention interpreted the virus as an important defense against corona19, although live viruses may not be cultivated.

The American Society of Infectious Diseases has also included antibody testing in its Corona 19 testing guidelines since the 16th.

Although more research is needed to determine how many antibodies have an immune effect and how long it lasts, antibodies in the blood are likely to be an important indicator in screening people who can return to their routine.
