The number of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea is increasing rapidly through serial infections in daily life such as schools, academies, gyms, saunas, and gatherings. This is different from what happened intensively in places vulnerable to infection, such as in certain areas, religious facilities and medical institutions in the past. Quarantine authorities predicted that the number of confirmed cases per day would exceed 600 by early December if this is the case.
On the 21st, the quarantine countermeasures headquarters presented a case of large-scale group infection in daily life and attracted attention. An example from quarantine authorities is a case of group infection related to middle schools and gymnasiums in the metropolitan area. On October 25, the first indicator patient was identified and an epidemiological investigation was carried out, which revealed that additional transmission occurred in health center A where the family of the indicator patient attended. As a member who had attended this gym was confirmed, more than 10 confirmed patients came out again at the research center where he works, and about 10 more were infected at another gym B, where the research center staff member was a member. Subsequently, there was further spread at a reading meeting attended by members who attended Gym B, and as of the 19th, a total of 87 people were confirmed with the new crown. One confirmed case has risen to 87, meaning it took less than a month.

Currently, a confirmed person infects more than 1.5 people, which is the highest since the first case of a new coronavirus in Korea. If so, quarantine authorities predicted that the number of confirmed cases per day will exceed 600 in early December, when the university entrance exam is expected.
