Concerns about the March/April pandemic are growing due to the spread of mutations that are more powerful than the Corona 19 virus.

The government said that responding to the 4th epidemic could become more difficult, and took measures such as strengthening the management of immigrants.

Concerns about the spread of the COVID-19 mutation have become reality due to the outbreak of the British mutant infection.

As it is known to be nearly twice as powerful as the existing Corona 19 virus, it may be a catalyst to advance the fourth epidemic.

The government also cited the possibility of a spring pandemic and diagnosed that the response could be more difficult than it is now.

It is that alertness can be loosened as the fatigue caused by prolonged distancing and expectations of vaccine effectiveness overlap.

Since the formation of collective immunity in the first half of the year is difficult even after vaccination is started, the government has decided to strengthen the monitoring and management of mutations in order to delay the scale and timing of the upcoming epidemic as much as possible.

First, we will focus on preemptive isolation of infected people from the community by expanding the targets for mutant strain testing.

At the time of entry, if a negative PCR test is found, a two-week self-isolation policy will be prepared.

The recent mutant group infection also occurred because of not following the rules of self-isolation properly, so we will be thoroughly supervised.

The quarantine authorities have decided to consider alternatives, saying that facilities may be insufficient to quarantine people entering other countries besides the UK, South Africa and Brazil.
