Abstract
|
|
|
The number of reported cases of infectious diseases in 2021 increased by 669,477 cases (301.6%) compared to 166,716
cases in 2020 due to the rapid increase in emerging infectious disease syndrome (Coronavirus disease 2019). The number of reported cases decreased by 6.2% year-on-year to 99,405 cases excluding emerging infectious disease syndrome (COVID19). Also, the number of major respiratory infectious diseases decreased 23.1% year-on-year and the number of cases of foreign inflow infectious diseases (excluding COVID-19) decreased by 73.3% year-on-year. The deaths of infectious diseases also showed a decreasing trend. However, despite these trends of decreasing infectious diseases excluding COVID-19, it is necessary to prevent the increase of other infectious diseases after declining of COVID-19 by strengthening monitoring and preparedness for other infectious diseases.
