As of today 0 o’clock, the number of new corona 19 confirmed cases in Korea is 458.
It is about 400 people for three consecutive days. There were 423 domestic occurrences, of which 71% came from the metropolitan area.
Although it declined slightly from the previous day, the confirmed trend is seldom falling.
This is because cases of large and small group infections continue at IM Mission and Hanyang University Hospital in Seoul.
The government is considering whether to change the stage of distancing tomorrow, saying it is a situation of concern about further spread.
