As of 9 o’clock last night, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases nationwide is 606.

As the final count closes at midnight, the number of new confirmed cases announced today is expected to exceed 600, up to the mid-to-late 600.

The number of confirmed patients in the 600 range is 48 days since mid-February.

In a daycare center in Incheon, 14 additional people, including teachers, children, and parents, were confirmed, and the cumulative number of infections increased to 33.

The virus was detected in doorknobs, toilets, and toys, and it is believed that the virus spread after the daycare teacher went to work for two weeks even with suspicious symptoms.

Since the 28th of last month, 23 people have been confirmed in the Wonyang Plaza building in Seo-gu, Busan, and 30 people have been confirmed related to the’Sujeong Church’ nationwide, increasing to 164 people in 10 cities and provinces.

The average number of domestic confirmed cases per day for a week has risen to 500 in 80 days to 500.6.

As for the possibility of restricting exports of AstraZeneca vaccine, which is being produced on consignment in Korea, the government said it is considering all alternatives.

It is interpreted as a change of position unlike last week, which said, “We are not reviewing it at the moment,” but the health authorities explained that it is only a last resort and has not been discussed in detail.
