The first confirmed patient was released on the 10th at Catholic St. Mary’s Hospital in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Subsequently, 8 more people were infected and it was determined as a new case of group infection.

Existing group infections, such as Seongseok Church in Gangseo-gu and Pagoda Town, a restaurant in Jongno-gu, are still spreading.

In Seoul, where group infections continue, the number of new patients reached 350 last night, even before the daily count ended.

Gyeonggi province also surpassed 300 people, followed by group infections from Bucheon-si nursing hospitals and Gunpo-si kindergartens.

As of 10 p.m. yesterday, including the metropolitan area, there were more than 900 new patients across the country.

Consequently, the number of new patients picked up at 0 o’clock on the 13th is expected to register around the mid to late 1990s, and up to 1,000.

If there are more than 950, it will be the highest one day after the day before.

The fire fell at the feet of the government.

First, taking into account the explosive increase in patients, the government will announce in detail the status of hospital beds and life treatment centers and plans to insure them in the future in detail this afternoon.

For this, it has decided to support national hospitals such as the Ministry of Defense and the National Police Agency, training facilities and human resources to respond to Corona 19.

We repeatedly appeal to citizens to minimize face-to-face contact.

The government also began gathering opinions from local governments and private experts in the metropolitan area on the upgrade to the third stage, with a focus on banning meetings and requiring teleworking, in preparation for the current expansion trend not to slow.
