Corona 19 breaking news.

Overnight, there were 267 additional confirmed cases, which remained in the 200 range for four consecutive days.

The quarantine authorities said that the trend of the rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases was suppressed somewhat due to the strengthened distancing measures.

However, they expressed concern about the increasing number of critically ill patients who need oxygen therapy or ventilators.



First, reporter Song In-ho.



<Reporter> The



quarantine authorities said that the explosive spread, which was concerned about the number of new corona19 confirmed patients remaining at 200 for four consecutive days, is being suppressed.



He stressed that reducing the number of new confirmed patients a day to less than 100 is an urgent need.



[Son Young-rae / Head of Strategic Planning Division, Central Accident Recovery Headquarters: The current trend is that the rapid spread of large-scale epidemics, which was initially worried about, has not appeared fortunately, but is gradually decreasing...

.] The



rapid increase in new confirmed cases has declined, but the number of confirmed cases with severe or severe abnormalities is rather increasing.



Since the 18th of last month, the number of confirmed cases of gastric/severe disease has been increasing continuously, and over the past two days, more than 20 people have increased rapidly, becoming the largest number of 124 since the outbreak of Corona 19.



Most of the patients with gastric or severe illness are elderly people over the age of 60, but even those in their 40s and 50s cannot be relieved.



[Eun-kyung Jung/Director of Disease Control: Even in their 40s, 7 patients with severe or severe illness have been reported, so it is a situation that requires attention even in the 40-50 age group.]



However, obtaining a bed to treat them is still not easy.



Of the 511 critically ill treatment beds nationwide, only 49 are vacant and 9 are free in the metropolitan area where patients are concentrated.



The government is planning to secure additional beds by designating a'dedicated treatment hospital for severely ill patients' and to support military personnel for the treatment of severely ill patients, but it will take some time due to the nature of critically ill patients.
