Yes, as of 0 o’clock today, there were 355 new cases of Corona 19 in Korea, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 9,29.

It was 338 domestic and 17 foreign inflows.

Due to the decrease in the number of inspections than on weekdays, the number of inspections was reduced to 300 for two consecutive days.

In the last week, the number of new confirmed cases has been rising and falling in the 3~400 range.

By region, 262 people occurred in the metropolitan area alone, including 92 in Seoul, 156 in Gyeonggi, and 14 in Incheon.

Among them, 57 were positive at the temporary screening test in the metropolitan area, more than 20% of the total confirmed cases in the metropolitan area.

Sporadic infections continued nationwide, with 16 cases in Busan and 10 in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Jeonbuk even in non-capital regions.

The number of people killed by Corona 19 increased by 2, and the cumulative death toll reached 1,655.

The quarantine authorities repeatedly demanded compliance with the quarantine rules, saying that distances between major tourist sites and large shopping malls across the country were often not observed during the holiday season.

In particular, they expressed concern that the number of patients is seldom dropping due to a series of group infections in restaurants, daycare centers, and nursing hospitals in the metropolitan area.
