Don't Be Complacent! COVID-19 Continues to Spread Rapidly
New infection numbers keep rising continuously
The COVID-19 outbreak situation remains concerning. Over the past week, there were 63,630 new infections, bringing the total cumulative cases since the beginning of 2025 to 202,108, with 52 cumulative deaths (data as of May 27, 2025, source: Department of Disease Control).
Currently, the COVID-19 strain causing most infections is the Omicron XEC variant, which while tending to cause less severe symptoms, spreads extremely rapidly. High-risk groups that should be especially cautious include:
- Elderly individuals
- People with underlying health conditions
- Young children with developing immune systems
Guidelines for COVID-19 Prevention To prevent and reduce infection risk, we recommend strictly following these basic hygiene measures:
- Wear face masks whenever in crowded areas or enclosed spaces with poor ventilation
- If experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, or sore throat, wear face masks every time you leave home
- Avoid crowded places or high-risk areas for virus transmission
- Frequently wash hands with soap and water or alcohol gel, especially after touching high-risk surfaces or shared areas
Stabilized Aqueous Ozone (SAO) as an Additional Protection Option Beyond basic hygiene measures, using stabilized aqueous ozone is another approach that can help boost confidence in daily life.
Key benefits of stabilized aqueous ozone:
- Effectively cleans various surfaces
- Eliminates 99.99% of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms
- Safe for users, even those with sensitive or allergy-prone skin
- Leaves no chemical residue, environmentally friendly
- Versatile applications including hand washing, cleaning daily equipment, or frequently touched surfaces
While stabilized aqueous ozone is not a primary COVID-19 prevention measure, it can serve as "additional armor" that helps increase confidence and sustainably enhance hygiene care for yourself and those around you.
