Amid concerns over the '4th outbreak' of Corona 19 in Korea, the number of new confirmed cases today (20th) was in the mid-500s.



The Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that as of today's 0 o'clock, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases increased by 549, accumulating 115,000,195.



It increased by 17 from yesterday (532) to 500 for two days in a row.



However, looking at the trend of weekly confirmed cases so far, it is difficult to say that the spread has eased as the number of tests on weekends and holidays slowed down until the beginning of the week and then increased again from the middle.



As for the infection route of new confirmed cases, local outbreaks were 529 and foreign inflows were 20.



Looking at the recent Corona 19 epidemic, the number of confirmed cases has rapidly increased before the aftermath of the'third pandemic', which began in earnest since mid-November last year, has already subsided, and has entered the beginning of the fourth epidemic.



From the 14th of this month to today, the number of new confirmed patients for the past week is 731 people → 698 people → 673 → 658 people → 671 people → 532 people → 549 people per day.



During this period, 500 units are numbered 2, 600 units are numbered 4, and 700 units are numbered 1.
