Corona 19 confirmed cases were added 27 people a day yesterday, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Korea increased to 11,18.

As the group infection from clubs in Itaewon, Seoul, spread to the whole country, about 30 new confirmed cases have occurred since the 10th.

Only five of the new confirmers that occurred yesterday came from abroad, the rest of them from the region.

By region, Seoul was the largest with 14 people, with 4 in Incheon, 3 in Daegu, and 1 in Gyeonggi.

Seventeen of the new confirmers were scored as Itaewon club-related confirmers.

As a result, the total number of Itaewon club-related contributors was 148.

Defense officials believe this weekend will be the watershed for the spread of the Itaewon club outbreak.

In response, the quarantine authorities announced that the government officials will be expected to strictly comply with the quarantine regulations, such as reducing the number of people in each laboratory by 15 and wearing a mask and putting a distance in the government official's 5th grade test.

In addition, the company announced that it will operate a self-report system to understand the candidates' history of visiting the entire Itaewon club, and to self-containers to take a test in a separate place.
