[전국]10,000 cumulative confirmations in Seoul … don’t even ring ‘the night bell’

[앵커]

The most serious place, maybe Seoul.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Seoul was close to 10,000, indicating that more than 1 in 1,000 people had Corona 19.

Finally, the Seoul Metropolitan Government canceled the ‘New Year’s Bell’ event for the first time at the end of the year.

The number of new confirmed corona 19 cases in Seoul is 235.

It is third place from second and third place, which was a succession record.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Seoul approached 10,000.

If the current distribution is the same, it will not take less than a day to exceed 10,000 accumulated people.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Seoul surpassed 0.1% of the total population in Seoul last month, as compiled by the National Bureau of Statistics from 9,69,771.

It means that Corona 19 has confirmed more than one in 1,000 people in Seoul.

In response to the increasingly severe expansion trend, the city of Seoul has decided not to hold a bell-ending ceremony for the Bosingak Festival later this year.

It is the first time in 67 years since the event began in 1953 that the New Year’s Eve bell was canceled at the beginning of the new year.

Instead, Seoul plans to prepare for the sound of the Bosingak bell at midnight on the last day of this year by pre-recording.
