The number of new confirmed cases in Seoul is 125.

It has been fluctuating for two weeks since the last 7 days, showing a modest decline.

However, it is too early to be relieved, with close to 100 cases of daily infections and unclear infection routes.

Group infection is also continuing.

In the Gangnam-gu sauna, 18 people, including employees and family members, have been infected since one user was confirmed on the 11th.

As a result of epidemiological investigations, the sauna was well observant of quarantine rules, but it was found that the virus spread while operating the sleeping room.

In education-related facilities in Gangnam-gu, 16 people have been tested positive since one was confirmed on the 17th.

It has been confirmed that teachers and students have been able to teach for a long time on a small scale, and some have been learning one-on-one, since classes with 9 or fewer people were available at the facility.

In the midst of this, Seoul City is speeding up preparations for vaccination by forming a promotion team under the head of the mayoral authority.

The Life Therapy Center, which currently has an operating rate of 17%, plans to maintain about 3,500 beds, two-thirds of the total, in preparation for the spread of the Lunar New Year holidays.
