The quarantine authorities analyzed that if the COVID-19 vaccine is completed up to the third round, the fatality rate of Omicron mutation will be 0.07%, which is similar to that of the seasonal flu fatality rate (0.05 to 0.1%).

In particular, the fatality rate for those under the age of 60 who completed the third vaccination was 0%, while the fatality rate for those who were not vaccinated was 0.6%, more than six times that of the seasonal flu. The quarantine authorities explained that they are considering a medical site proposal for recognizing rapid antigen testing as the final confirmation, and that the KDCA will make a separate announcement once it is concluded.
