It was confirmed that there were actually three people who were infected with the two viruses at the same time amid concerns about the so-called ``twindemic,'' where Corona 19 and influenza (flu) are both outbreaks this winter.



Jung Eun-kyung, head of the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said at a regular briefing on the 28th, "There are cases where both the coronavirus and influenza virus were positive." There are reports that have been confirmed.”



"The time of confirmation was mainly at the end of February, before the end of the influenza epidemic, and it was mainly confirmed in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, where Corona 19 was spread together." It should be, but I have confirmed that it is not severe.”



According to General Manager Jung, cases of simultaneous infection have been confirmed not only in Korea but also in foreign countries.



By country, it is 2.7% in China, 2% in Turkey, and 0.9% in the US.



In the United States, 1 in 116 cases were classified as co-infection cases.
