코로나19 추가 환자 70명…국내 확진자 모두 833명으로 늘어
South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced more new COVID-19 cases today.
A huge jump especially compared to this time last week.
The death toll from the virus also went up.
We start things off by connecting to our Hong Yoo standing by on the line.
Please fill us in.
Another COVID-19 patient died on Monday at around 4:11 PM, bringing the domestic death toll to eight.
This patient was being treated at Kyungpook National University Hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.
His infection route has been traced to Cheongdo Daenam Hospital, the site of the country’s first coronavirus death,… and it’s where at least 113 people have been infected.
With this, the number of coronavirus-related deaths there has risen to six.
And 70 new cases of the coronavirus were confirmed Monday afternoon, bringing the total number of cases to 833.
41 cases were in Daegu and 12 each in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Busan.
The majority of the cases overall at least 456 of them are members of a Daegu-based religious group known as Shincheonji.
Meanwhile, the number of cases in the army has risen to 13 in total with two soldiers newly confirmed.
To stop it spreading further in the army, the Ministry of Defense has banned outdoor training and ordered troops to find ways to manage their training schedules flexibly.
And a U.S. Forces Korea dependent living in Daegu has tested positive for the virus.
This is the first time a USFK-related individual has been confirmed to have COVID-19.
In response, the USFK has raised the risk level to “high”.
Health authorities are working around the clock.
The government announced measures to be applied nationwide for the first time.
Could you provide us with more details.
With the government having raised the COVID-19 alert to highest level, “critical,” in its 4-tier system, the Korea Centers for Disease Control will distribute revised prevention rules.
Those rules include not going to school or work if one has a high fever or respiratory symptoms.
It also advises pregnant women and people over 65 years old to avoid places with large numbers of people.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control’s central disaster headquarters announced that it’ll delay the start of the new school year for a week from March 2nd to March 9th.
This applies to all kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools as well as special needs schools nationwide.
Airlines have begun suspending domestic flights to and from Daegu, where hundreds of COVID-19 cases have been reported.
We hear the city is struggling to get their hands on face masks?
You’re absolutely right, Daniel.
Yes, with COVID-19 cases accumulating in Daegu, South Korean airlines are temporarily suspending some domestic flights there.
That includes Korean Air, Asiana Airlines and Jeju Air.
Cuts are also in the works at low-cost carriers such as T’way Air.
Korean Air is also suspending flights from Pohang to Jeju due to a lack of demand amid the virus outbreak.
Meanwhile, face masks and hand sanitizers are running out nationwide.
Companies are finding it hard to keep up with demand even with all their supply chains activated.
In Daegu, a supermarket selling face masks saw hundreds of people lined up to buy them.

#Coronavirus #COVID19 #PublicHealth #GlobalNews
South Korea has raised its disease alert to the highest level after a surge in coronavirus infections and two more deaths, while Chinese state media warned the outbreak had yet to reach a turning point despite some signs of easing.
South Korea’s president said on Sunday he was putting the country on “red alert” due to the rapid rise in new cases, which are largely being traced back to church services. Health officials reported 169 new infections, bringing the total to 602, having doubled from Friday to Saturday.
The escalation in the alert level allows the government to send extra resources to Daegu city and Cheongdo county, which were designated “special care zones” on Friday.
South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency said it also enables the government to forcibly prevent public activities and order the temporary closure of schools, though the government gave no immediate details on what steps could be taken.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Cheongdo county.
코로나19 확진자 600명 넘어…사망자 하루새 2명→6명
Our starting point this Monday morning.
South Korea’s rapidly expanding COVID-19 outbreak has claimed more lives and the number of new cases is jumping by the hundreds each day.
For more details, we have our Kim Ji-yeon on the line for us.
Jiyeon, the number of COVID-19 related deaths in South Korea tripled on Sunday…..
Yeah, the total number of deaths due to the virus rose from two to six people in a single day.
The third victim was a 41-year-old male who was found dead Friday in his residence in Gyeongju city… and was confirmed to have the coronavirus during an examination of his body.
The fourth and sixth victims were patients at Daenam Hospital in the southeastern city of Cheongdo , where the country’s first coronavirus fatality took place… and it’s where at least 112 people have been infected.
With this, the number of coronavirus-related deaths that were hospitalized patients from the Daenam hospital has risen to four.
The fifth victim was a 57-year-old female… and is known to be a member of the Daegu -based religious group known as ‘Shincheonji’ .
The number of newly confirmed patients increased by 169 in a single day on Sunday from the previous day… raising the total cases so far to 602.
Among those is a 16-month old girl in Gimpo city … the youngest among the confirmed so far.
She’s believed to have been infected by her parents, who were confirmed with the virus.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control’s central disaster headquarters says more than eight-thousand diagnostic tests are underway.
It announced it’ll delay the start of the new school year for a week from March 2nd to March 9th… as a preventative measure.
This applies to all kindergarten, elementary, middle, high schools as well as special needs schools nationwide.
The number of South Korean soldiers that have contracted the virus is also rising. How’s the military handling this?
Preventing the virus’ spread is particularly important for the South Korean military since it’s directly linked to national security.
Four more soldiers were confirmed over the weekend… raising the cases among the South Korean military to seven.
They include a Marine Corps captain in Pohang , an Army sergeant based in Sokcho , an Army corporal in Pocheon … and one civilian worker in the military who is based in Daegu.
With this, Seoul’s defense ministry has identified some seven-thousand-700 military personnel that have traveled to or have been in close contact with families members from the virus-hit areas of Daegu and the adjacent county of Cheongdo … and Yeongcheon city.
These soldiers have been quarantined at separate locations in their bases… until they’re confirmed clear of the virus.
Also, as part of its preventative measures, the Military Manpower Administration said it’ll temporarily suspend medical checkups required for South Korean men aged 19 or older to see if they’re fit for compulsory military service.
The checkup will be put off for two weeks until March 6th.
An estimated 16-thousand-700 men will be affected by the move.
In an email sent on Saturday, U.S. Forces Korea stated there were no confirmed cases among its forces… but given the circumstances, some sources have told me there are concerns South Korea and the U.S. might not be able to go ahead with their joint computer-simulation based exercises as planned next month.
It’s a topic that’ll almost certainly feature heavily when the defense chiefs of the two allies meet in Washington on Monday, local time.
Back to you.
The second largest outbreak is in South Korea with cases topping 5,000 as checks at foreign airports will implement multiple screenings from countries with travel restrictions.
South Korean officials are racing to contain the spread, and said most cases were linked to a single church and hospital nearby.
A sharp jump in coronavirus cases in Italy has prompted authorities to cancel the final days of Carnival in Venice. Several towns in northern Italy have also been put on lockdown, after 2 people are reported to have died from the disease.
South Korea is also on high alert following a sharp jump in coronavirus cases there, with the total number reaching more than 600. The virus has now spread from China to more than 25 countries.

The South Korean government is urgently sending medical support to its south, where much of those infected can be traced back to a church service.
Al Jazeera’s Rob McBride reports from Daegu, which has been declared a “special care zone”.

China has reported an uptick in coronavirus cases, with more than 400 new infections in Chinese prisons alone. Globally, the viral outbreak has infected some 76,000 people and killed more than 2,200.
