SEOUL - Health authorities in South Korea said for the first time on Monday it is in the midst of a “second wave” of novel coronavirus infections around Seoul, driven by small but persistent outbreaks stemming from a holiday in May.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had previously said South Korea’s first wave had never really ended. “In the metropolitan area, we believe that the first wave was from March to April as well as February to March,” Jeong said at a regular briefing. “Then we see that the second wave which was triggered by the May holiday has been going on.”
“We originally predicted that the second wave would emerge in fall or winter,” Jeong said. “Our forecast turned out to be wrong. As long as people have close contact with others, we believe that infections will continue.”
joshjonsmith Thank God we don't riot very much!!!
joshjonsmith I wonder how South Korea is dealing with the U.S. Troops deployed to the base over there? I know of at least one, and he had to wait for another flight bc there wasn't room for him on the 1st flight that he was scheduled on initially.
