Recently, it was found that the level of spreading power of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) has increased.
On the 30th, Sook-young Lim, head of the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said at a regular briefing, “As the infectious reproductive index is now at a level slightly above 1, it is judged that the incidence of patients is slightly increasing.” .
The Infectious Reproduction Index is an indicator that shows how many people one confirmed person transmits to others. If this number is 1 or more, it means’proliferation’, and if it is less than 1, it means’trend suppression’.
The infectious material production index exceeded 1 in December last year, the peak of the’third pandemic’, but fell to 0.8 as the number of confirmed cases decreased in the new year.
Manager Lim explained, “Overall, whether this is a temporary phenomenon or whether it has completely reversed to an increasing trend, we are carefully reviewing it.”
