When COVID 19 hit China I was quite curious about corona virus. I researched what corona virus is on Google. COVID 19 is similar with SARS. A friend from Hong Kong told me that how serious SARS was in Hong Kong.
When China government blocked Wuhan city many countries paid attention to COVID 19. Passengers from China as well as Wuhan city were tested with temperature. New patients were also reported in Korea. It seemed to be controlled until 31st patient was reported.
The 31st patient had attended the church called Sincheonji. KCDC researched suspicious people who closely stayed with 31st patient. Since the case was reported many people have been infected with virus.
KCDC checked out suspicious people and inspected them. New system called Driving through was used to avoid infection and save time, which made more inspections. Daily inspections reached to about 10,000 every day.
From now one to 169 people was inspected in population.
The fast speed of inspections makes Korea be much safer from COVID 19.
This is table about inspections and patients.
