The number of people decreased by 33 from the previous day, reaching 600 people for the second day, and maintaining three digits for five consecutive days.

The number of confirmed cases peaked at 1,240 on the 25th of last month.

The government believes that measures to strengthen quarantine, such as strengthening social distancing and banning meetings with more than 5 people, have been effective and have recently entered a decline stage.

When looking at the route of infection, 596 people occurred in Korea and 45 people came from overseas.

Of these, 80 were tested positive at the temporary screening test in the metropolitan area.

The number of patients with severe gastric disorders increased by 5 to 409.

By region, the number of domestic outbreaks was 180 in Seoul, 195 in Gyeonggi and 46 in Incheon, 421 in the metropolitan area alone.

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said that Corona 19 could return to the spread at any time, and asked not to slow down the tensions, right?

Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun said so at the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting this morning.

Prime Minister Chung seems to have passed the peak of the spread of Corona 19 and gradually calmed down.

He stressed that the third epidemic of this winter can return to the spread of the virus at any time given the power and speed of spreading the virus, and that tensions cannot be relaxed even on weekends.

In addition, since the first confirmed case among visitors to the World Center in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do at the beginning of last month, 351 people have been infected so far, and the situation is serious.

At the same time, there are 2,800 people who have visited the Nation Center, but since there are many cases where they cannot reach or avoid testing, they expressed concern that about 70% of them have not yet been tested.

Prime Minister Chung urged them to keep in mind that this non-cooperation could infect many people around him.

At the same time, referring to the results of a survey that out of 3,700 confirmed patients in 50 countries, about 20% of them cannot return to work due to aftereffects, they appealed to the public to never think of corona as a mild disease and to always be alert.
