COVID-19 virus infections are spreading again: 128 patients hospitalized in Gyeonggi Province in July (South Korea)

Last month, 128 people were hospitalized in Gyeonggi Province with COVID-19, more than doubling the number from the previous month.
On the 7th, Gyeonggi Province released the current status of hospitalized patients at 45 hospitals with more than 200 beds.
The analysis showed that the number of coronavirus patients rose from 58 in the month of June to 128 last month. In particular, the number nearly quadrupled, from 17 in the first week of July to 66 in the fourth week.
Gyeonggi Province believes this is due to the influence of Omicron KP.3, a coronavirus pathogen that is showing a global increase.
If you are infected with Omicron KP.3, you may experience symptoms such as coughing, fever of 38°C or higher, headache, difficulty breathing, and sore throat.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Yoo Young-cheol, director of the Gyeonggi Provincial Health Bureau, said, "To prevent COVID-19 infection, you must wear a mask in crowded places.
"People should wear masks, avoid overwork and lack of sleep to keep their immune systems from weakening, wash their hands thoroughly, and frequently ventilate indoor spaces to prevent the spread of coronavirus," he said.
