Unclear route of infection 17.4% → 24.9%

Director Park said the number of unclear route of infection cases over the past week has risen significantly from 17.4% two weeks ago to 24.9% last week. The proportion of confirmed patients 65 years and older, who are at high risk for severe disease when confirmed, also increased from 18.9% two weeks ago to 20.8% last week.

The group of infection that occurred last week was 240 people related to multipurpose facilities, 149 people related to religious facilities, 97 people at work and 60 people related to hospitals and nursing hospitals. 10 infections occurred through small meetings as family and acquaintances.

Director Park noted that the number of confirmed cases from large conglomerates did not increase due to the background that the number of confirmed patients per day soared to 399 (at 0 o’clock on the 13th) and then fell back to 200. It is explained that the number of confirmed cases has dropped to 200 because there were no infections like Seongseok Church in Gangseo-gu. He said: “If a group infection occurs due to a confirmed case in a confined place, we believe that it may increase to 300 again, and there is a risk of a large group occurring because it is determined that there will be infections in many places in the community.” . .
