As the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea showed signs of spreading again, on the first day of the Lunar New Year holiday, the 11th, they were confirmed one after another across the country.
According to quarantine authorities and local governments such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a total of 379 new confirmed cases were confirmed that tested positive on the Corona 19 test from 0 o’clock to 9 p.m. that day.
67 less than the 446 in total at the same time the day before. As such, the decrease in the number of confirmed midterms appears to have an effect on the decrease in the number of inspections during the Lunar New Year holidays.
In the area where confirmed cases were found, 302 (79.7%) in the metropolitan area and 77 (20.3%) in the non-metropolitan area.
By province, Seoul 160, Gyeonggi 99, Incheon 43, Busan 19, Chungnam 13, Daegu 12, Gwangju, Chungbuk, Gangwon 6 each, Gyeongnam 5, Jeju 4, Gyeongbuk 3, Daejeon and Jeonbuk · Jeonnam 1 each.
Out of 17 cities and provinces across the country, no cases have been confirmed in Ulsan and Sejong.
With time left until midnight when the count closes, the number of new confirmed cases that are announced at 0:00 on the 12th is expected to rise more than this, reaching around 400 and up to the beginning of 400.
The day before, at midnight, the number of people increased by 58 and ended at 504.
The ‘third pandemic’, which began in earnest in mid-November last year, has entered a lull phase into the new year, but recently, the number of confirmed cases has risen again, showing an unsettling pattern. The number of new confirmed cases, which fell in the late 200s, has risen in the early 500s.
The number of new confirmed cases that occurred in the last week from 4 to today was 370 → 393 → 371 → 288 → 303 → 444 → 504 daily, with an average of 382 cases per day.
Among them, the number of confirmed cases of regional outbreaks, which is a key indicator of the adjustment of the ‘social distancing’ stage, was on average 351 per day, maintaining the range of the second stage (more than 300 people at the level of national), but an increase of 5 people from 346 people the day before.

Additionally, new infections continue across the country, focused on gatherings, workplaces, daycare centers and bathrooms. The magnitude of infection from existing outbreak cases such as the Church of Antioch (142 people) and the union against unification (60 people) in Seo-gu, Busan is also increasing.
