The number of new confirmed cases was 69, which again became double digits.

Although it has fluctuated repeatedly after the Chuseok holidays, the government estimates that the trend is decreasing broadly.

[이상원 / 중앙방역대책본부 위기대응분석관 : 추석 연휴 동안 상당히 많은 방역수칙을 잘 지켜주셨고…. 환자 발생의 수준을 크게 생각하는 것보다는 아니면 좀 더 나은 수준이 되지 않을까를 조심스럽게 기대하고 있습니다.]

After seeing the trend of the Christmas season, the government decided to decide the steps of Sunday the 11th.

To the extent possible to reduce public discomfort by reducing the size of the confirmed diagnosis and facilitating distancing steps, he asked them to follow life-prevention rules, such as wearing a mask and washing their hands.
