The group infection at the East Seoul Detention Center reached about 1,000 people.

There is growing concern among the additional confirmed cases of group infection at the elderly welfare center in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul and the nursing hospital in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon.

The number of new confirmed cases announced on the last day of the New Year holidays was 657.

167 people decreased compared to the previous day.

After 689 people left on the 11th of last month, it was reduced to 600 people in 23 days.

However, taking into account the fact that it is the New Year holidays, it is necessary to observe the trend.

The total number of confirmed patients in the 600-degree range was obtained by examining 38.40 cases during the day, but only about 70% of the number of tests on the weekdays before the Christmas season.

The average number of home patients per day during the last week is 931, which is more than 80 less than a week ago.

Quarantine authorities have assessed that the situation is currently at a fork in the peak state or is slowly passing through the peak.

Even if it did turn into a decline, the rate of decline was expected to be moderate since the infection was so widespread in the community.

Quarantine authorities once again requested that meetings and appointments be canceled, noting that the next two weeks, when the reinforced distancing measures are implemented, will be a major trigger for a turnaround.
