Looking at the current status of confirmed cases by region on this day, 49 were found in the metropolitan area, including Gyeonggi (25), Seoul (19) and Incheon (5). Busan, where 5 confirmed cases occurred on the 4th, was confirmed to be the largest among the regions excluding the metropolitan area. They were followed by Ulsan (4), Chungnam (2) and Jeonbuk (2).
As the number of new confirmed cases remains in double digits per day, health authorities predicted that the spread of infectious diseases due to the Chuseok holiday movement from mid-week to next week will be masked. Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Accident Control Headquarters, said in a regular briefing on the day: “Considering the efforts to keep people apart during the Chuseok holidays, we hope the same spread will not occur faster than after the August break. ” The proportion of cases remains around 19% and group infection continues in hospitals and nursing homes. It is too early to assess that it has returned to a situation of final calm ”.

The infectious reproductive production index rose to 1.06. If the infectious material production index is less than 1, it is interpreted as a pause. Ahn Byung-seon, head of the city’s Citizen Prevention Promotion Division, said: “As the number of cases in which the source of infection is unknown is unknown, it takes a long time from the start of the symptoms until diagnosis. The burden of epidemiological investigations is very high, “he said.” Even if you have mild symptoms, it’s best to visit a nearby public health center and get tested quickly to prevent further infection. ”
In Gyeongnam and Ulsan, there were no new confirmed cases on the 5th, so the 289 and 151 accumulated were maintained respectively.
