Original title: the 10th day of South Korea's "coexistence with the new crown": critical cases broke the record, and the prime minister said "the deterioration exceeded expectations"

South Korea relaxed epidemic control and people gathered for dinner.
Overseas network, November 10, according to Yonhap, since the Korean government launched the epidemic prevention mode of "phased recovery of daily life" (i.e. "coexistence with Xinguan") in early November, the number of critically ill patients has increased day by day. As of 0:00 on the 10th, the number of critical illness cases in South Korea had reached 460, a record high, of which more than 80% were elderly people over the age of 60.
The Korean epidemic prevention department believes that the loose epidemic prevention measures have led to the expansion of the scale of confirmed cases. Due to the early vaccination time of the elderly, the current protection effect has been reduced, and the influence of seasonal factors, the elderly face higher health risks.
South Korean Prime Minister Kim Fu him said on the same day that the deterioration rate of various epidemic prevention indicators such as new severe cases, death cases and the number of basic virus regeneration were higher than expected.
As of 5 p.m. on the 9th, the utilization rate of severe beds in Xinguan, South Korea has reached 57.2%. In the capital circle with relatively concentrated confirmed cases, 71.3% in Seoul, 73.4% in Incheon and 68.4% in Gyeonggi. This is close to the standard of suspending the measures to restore the order of daily life and starting the "emergency plan" originally proposed by the South Korean government, that is, the utilization rate of severe beds has reached 75%.
Jin Yuzhu, a professor of infection medicine in Jiulao Hospital of Korea University, warned that the epidemic situation this winter will be very severe and the number of severe patients will continue to increase. He said that it is regrettable that the South Korean government has not formulated the standard of "emergency plan" and thinks that the current medical system can respond to the epidemic stably.
