As the spread of Corona 19 continues in the metropolitan area, the proportion of'unclear' patients who are not clearly identified when and where they were infected again exceeded 24%, breaking the highest.
According to the Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), out of 4,298 new corona19 confirmed cases reported for the last two weeks from the 21st of last month to this day, 1,49 cases were'investigating' the route of infection.
As a percentage, it is 24.4%, which means that 1 out of 4 to 5 new confirmed cases has an unclear infection route, which is the highest since the quarantine authorities compiled related statistics.
Until the beginning of last month, the proportion of'investigating' cases of the infection route was less than 10%, but since the outbreak in the metropolitan area began in earnest, it has risen to 20% every day.
On the 1st, it rose to 24.3%, even higher.
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection, it is most important to find the source of infection of the confirmed person and block the contact person.
The risk of further transmission increases if the infection cannot be found in a short period of time.
The recent increase in the number of patients with severe and severe illness is raising the burden on the quarantine authorities.
As of today's 0 o'clock, a total of 154 patients with severe and severe symptoms of Corona 19 in Korea.
By age, the highest number of people in their 70s was 63, followed by 37 people over 80 years old, and 31 people in their 60s.
A total of 131 people in their 60s or older who are often classified as'high-risk groups' accounted for 85.1% of all patients with severe or severe illness.
However, the number of severely ill patients is small in the middle and elderly, including 14 in their 50s and 9 in their 40s, so the quarantine authorities are paying close attention.
Meanwhile, the government has decided to pay more attention not only to local outbreaks, but also to block infections from overseas.
