Ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays, the number of corona19 confirmed cases has increased to 400 as a result of group infections, and the quarantine authorities are closely tense.

As concerns over the re-proliferation of the third epidemic have increased, we have repeatedly urged people to refrain from meeting and moving while reinforcing measures to quarantine mutant viruses.

With an increase of 141 people a day, the number of new confirmed cases has risen to 400 in six days.

Especially, more than 80% of new patients in Korea occur in the metropolitan area.

There are still many new confirmed cases in the metropolitan area with 169 in Seoul, 157 in Gyeonggi and 18 in Incheon.

This is because it was confirmed by a bunch of religious facilities and moisturizing academies in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.

Here, the number of mutant virus infections with strong transmission power surged to 26 a day, reaching 80 in total, and an emergency took place.

Accordingly, the quarantine authorities have designated a country to strengthen quarantine, taking into account the share of mutant viruses, and strengthen quarantine measures such as flight restrictions.

Also, starting on the 24th, we have decided to conduct a PCR diagnostic test three times for all foreign visitors.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun repeatedly demanded that the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday be a watershed moment and to comply with the quarantine regulations.

The quarantine authorities recommended that you refrain from meetings and traveling during the Lunar New Year holiday as much as possible, and to use online turnover or mobile money transfer.
