The quarantine authorities said that it is highly likely that Corona 19 and seasonal flu will spread at the same time this winter, and "we will announce related countermeasures soon."
Lim Sook-young, head of the situation at the Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters, said, "As there has been no seasonal flu epidemic in the past two years, I expect that the public's immunity to seasonal flu will be low."
The number of new corona19 confirmed yesterday was 99,837, the lowest in three weeks as of Tuesday's announcement.
Among the confirmed cases last week, the proportion of those aged 60 and over increased from 21.7% four weeks ago to 24% last week.
As of yesterday, there were 536 cases of severe serious illness, 26 fewer than the previous day, and 44 people died.
