Yesterday there were 1,097 confirmed cases of Corona 19 in Korea. The number of confirmed patients per day was the highest in Korea for five consecutive days. Although the number of tests has decreased by almost 20,000 of the weekdays, the number of confirmed cases has increased significantly and the third spread of Corona 19 has not stopped. Reporter Kim Hyun-woo. The spread of Corona 19 in Korea is fierce. The new confirmed cases, which had been slowing down for a while since the 13th, re-entered the 1,000 people on the 16th. The differential has rarely been broken and has crossed the 1,000 mark for five consecutive days. At the same time, it again broke the record for confirmed cases per day. This is the highest number in 335 days since January 20, when the first confirmed case was published in Korea. Notably, the number of tests decreased by nearly 20,000 from weekdays last week, but the number of confirmed cases is increasing. By region, Seoul was the largest with 470, and the metropolitan area, including Gyeonggi and Incheon, reached 800. In the non-metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, where infection from the chain of ski resorts continues, has risen significantly to 55. In 16 provincial cities across the country, excluding Sejong City, infections occurred one after another, mostly in nursing homes and religious facilities. The number of deaths increased from 15 to 674. Compared to the number of tests the day before, the positive rate indicating confirmed cases increased to 2.98%, a significant increase from 1.87% the day before. While the third Corona 19 pandemic has not abated despite the increased distance, some experts expressed concern that if the current trend continues, it could sooner or later skyrocket to 2,000 confirmed cases per day.
