The Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon) announced that as of 0 o’clock on the day, the number of new corona 19 confirmed cases increased by 355, accumulating 9,29. This is a decrease of 1 person from the previous day (356).
Looking at the infection route of the new confirmed patients on this day, 338 local outbreaks and 17 foreign inflows.
In the area where there were confirmed local outbreaks, 262 people in the metropolitan area, including 156 in Gyeonggi, 92 in Seoul, and 14 in Incheon, accounted for 77.5% of the total local outbreaks.
In the non-capital area, there are a total of 76 people, including 16 in Busan, 10 in each of Daegu, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk, 8 in Chungbuk, 6 in Gwangju, 5 in Gangwon, 4 in Gyeongnam, 2 in Ulsan, Chungnam, Jeonnam, and 1 in Sejong.
In the case of major new infections, collective outbreaks involving work, family, acquaintances, etc. are still confirmed everywhere.
In a studio in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 13 people, including acquaintances, were positive. Ten people were confirmed regarding a daycare center in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province. In Cheongju and Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province, 5 and 3 family members were each confirmed. In addition, the number of confirmed cases is increasing day after day in existing cases of group infections, such as Yeongsaenggyo School in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and a training academy (accumulated 161 people) and fitness center in Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk (44 people).
In particular, confirmed cases are coming out day after day at temporary screening tests designed to search for’hidden infected people’. According to the script, a total of 57 new confirmed patients were positive in the corona19 diagnostic test conducted at temporary screening offices in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon the previous day.
This is equivalent to 16.9% of the new confirmed cases (338 people) that were counted as of 0 o’clock on that day. It also accounts for 21.8% of the 269 confirmed cases in the metropolitan area.
In the last week, the number of new confirmed cases was 356 → 440 → 395 → 390 → 415 → 356 → 355 (daily).
As such, the number of new confirmed cases was almost the same as the previous day, and it was maintained at 300 for two days in a row, but it is difficult to conclude that the spreading trend has waned. Above all, the impact of the number of tests on weekends and holidays significantly decreased compared to weekdays, and there are variables that can be a path to the spread of infection, such as the 3/1 rally and the beginning of elementary, middle, and high school. .
The cumulative number of confirmed cases recorded 9,29 on this day, exceeding the 90,000 mark in 400 days after the first confirmed case in Korea on January 20 last year.
