The momentum of Corona 19 is not serious again. Yesterday (26th), the number of new confirmed cases exceeded 500. After the Lunar New Year holiday last month, when I went up and down from the 3~400 level for a month, I was worried about why it wasn’t falling like this, but in the end I got to the 500 level. Group infections are continuing, including camp facilities of door-to-door vendors in Ganghwa Island, Incheon.

Since the first confirmed cases two days ago, 29 employees at the company camping here have been tested positive.
According to the results of the investigation, Ganghwa-gun said that 57 employees of the company stayed in a camp where a closed school facility was renovated, and that it has issued an administrative order for all involved to undergo an examination.

In Busan, 56 confirmed patients came out in one day, including welfare facilities and entertainment bars.
A total of 20 people were added at a care facility for the elderly in Yeonje-gu, Busan, and it seems that close contact occurred in the process of workers helping users to eat.
In a serial infection involving a refrigeration company in Seo-gu, Busan, a total of 19 people were infected yesterday, with 14 confirmed through an entertainment establishment used by the infected person.

In addition, confirmed cases were added at churches in Seongnam and Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, and Jeungpyeong-gun, Chungbuk, all of which increased to 53, and 16 were also added at restaurants in Donghae, Gangwon-do.
While sporadic serial infections are continuing across the country, the average number of confirmed cases in Korea for the past week is 422, which shows that they are still in the 2.5-stage range of distance, and anxiety continues.
