Add group infection in non-metropolitan areas… Even if there are fewer weekend inspections, the late 400 people (total)

[이데일리 함정선 기자] Although the number of corona 19 confirmed cases decreased slightly to 400 in one day, the number of tests on weekends decreased to the second half of 400, raising concerns that the increase trend continues.

This is because there is a high possibility that the number of confirmed cases will increase over 500 during this week, considering the trend of decreasing the number of confirmed cases during the weekend and then increasing the number of confirmed cases during the week.

The quarantine authorities say that it is difficult to say that the number of confirmed cases is increasing due to the effect of temporary group infection in the non-metropolitan area. Some point out that it is difficult to just look at it. In particular, it is also consistent to point out that the current distancing has continued for 6 weeks, and there is a limit to controlling the confirmed patients at the current stage.
