China's serious corona situation shows no signs of being resolved immediately.

Studies have shown that the death toll could reach 1 million within a few months.

By the way, China has decided to stop overseas travel from the 8th of next month, so it seems that the number of visitors coming to Korea from China is always higher than now.

The quarantine authorities have decided to strengthen quarantine for entrants from China and plan to announce specific quarantine measures tomorrow (30th).

A facility for pregnant women in a small and medium-sized city in China is empty.



The newborn baby room, which was filled with cries of babies, is also empty.



The facility utilization rate, which had been maintained at 90%, fell to 20% within a week of 'With Corona'.



[Facility staff for pregnant women: Now, many customers have already tested positive and have all left the room.]



Even staff with strict hygiene could not avoid infection.



[Facility staff for pregnant women: (For a week) Now, about 80% of only internal employees are now infected.] It is



also difficult to obtain medicines.



[Facility staff for pregnant women: (Can I get a cure for corona now?) None.

(Any antipyretic or cold medicine right now?) Yes, it's sold out, so I can't buy it.] The



outlook for academia is also bleak.



As a result of a study by the University of Hong Kong, if China does not smoothly supply additional vaccinations and treatment drugs after switching to Corona, it is predicted that the number of corona deaths will reach 1 million within a few months.



Our quarantine authorities have also taken action.



[Lim Sook-young/Bang Dae-bon Sanghwal General Manager: The fever standard has been strengthened for entrants from China.

So, it was lowered from 37.5 degrees to 37.3 degrees.]



The quarantine authorities believe that stronger quarantine measures, such as a full inspection of all arrivals from China, are needed, but they are coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
