There have been more than 30 new cases in two consecutive days, the highest since April 9.

From midnight on the first day to early morning on the second day of the local time, he went to many nightclubs in Itaewon, Seoul, and has caused infections for 86 people all over South Korea.
Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon said on the 11th that he had obtained a list of 5,517 people who had visited the relevant nightclubs and contacted 2,405 of them, but there were still 3112 people in the list due to customers registering with fake phone numbers and refusing to call could not be reached.
He warned that if a person is found to deliberately escape the inspection in the future, a fine of 2 million won will be imposed.
South Korean Prime Minister Ding Shijun also called on customers to consciously test, "If you hesitate for a day, our daily life may be shut down for a month."
In order to avoid the spread of immunization, the Seoul Metropolitan Government requires people to wear masks on the subway starting from the 13th during peak hours. The offline resumption of classes at all levels of schools in Korea has also been postponed for a week.
