The rapid spread of the South Korean-style "K epidemic prevention" finally "lying flat" with the Omicron mutation has made the number of confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia exceed 50,000 for the first time in a single day, but the number of nucleic acid (PCR) tests has increased from this month

The Korean-style "K epidemic prevention" finally "lay flat"

The rapid spread of the Omikeron mutation has brought the number of confirmed cases of covid-19 to more than 50,000 for the first time in a single day, but the number of nucleic acid (PCR) tests has decreased from 720,000 on the 3rd of this month to 270,000 on the 7th, down to one-third of the previous one, while the number of confirmed cases is increasing, and the situation is very serious. According to the prediction of the epidemic prevention authorities, the number of confirmed patients in South Korea reached 130,000 to 170,000 at the end of February. With the sharp increase in the number of confirmed patients, many citizens began to worry about whether they could get the correct diagnosis and treatment.

On the 7th of this month, the reform of the epidemic prevention medical system with the main purpose of "self-help epidemic prevention" and "self-help treatment" added fuel to the fire of anxiety. Although it was a major change in the epidemic prevention system, it was published without prior notice, which directly led to chaos on the spot.

At the heart of the countermeasures, about 160,000 home treatment subjects are divided into patients over 60 years old and asymptomatic mildly diagnosed for shunting management. The circulation and treatment of asymptomatic and mild confirmed cases must be done by themselves. Five items, including self-inspection tools and oxygen saturation testers, will also be discontinued. Self-inspection tools need to be purchased directly in supermarkets, pharmacies, etc., but there is a shortage of goods, resulting in a sharp increase in prices. Instead of repeating the phrase "address 10 million self-inspection tools by the end of this week," the government should come up with accurate countermeasures.
