The number of new confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea recorded 500, and the momentum of the’third pandemic’ declined in the new year. However, there is a situation that cannot be relieved as group infections have continued through religious facilities such as Jinju Prayer Center in Gyeongsangnam-do and BTJ World Center in Sangju, Gyeongbuk. The quarantine authorities are also releasing tensions, citing the increased risk of infection in local communities, epidemics in vulnerable facilities such as nursing homes, mutated viruses, and increased indoor life due to cold waves as four risk factors.
