Of the 382 new corona19 confirmed cases, 370 cases were infected in Korea.
291 people, or 78%, came from Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon.
In the daycare center in Dobong-gu, Seoul, since the first confirmed person came out on the 5th, additional infections have resulted in workers, other students, and their families, and the number of related confirmed cases has reached 10.
In addition, 15 additional people were diagnosed with family and daycare centers in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, where the first confirmed person was confirmed on the 12th.
A group infection occurred in a sauna, and 79 people were also infected in non-metropolitan areas, including Jinju, Gyeongnam, where up to 150 people were confirmed.
The number of new confirmed cases has been down to 300 again in a week, but given the decrease in the number of tests on the weekend, the spread did not decrease.
In addition, the reproductive index of infection, which indicates the level at which one infected person can infect additional infections, exceeded 1.

In particular, the government will announce special quarantine measures for the metropolitan area tomorrow, seeing that re-proliferation may occur as much as possible as the amount of movement increases due to relaxation of distance and spring outings.
Meanwhile, 1,74 people received the Corona 19 vaccine a day yesterday, and the cumulative number of inoculations reached 588,000.
