As the number of corona19 outbreaks in Korea continues to spread and the number of cases of foreign-influenced infections increases, the number of new confirmers per day has soared in the late 60s.

This seems to be the aftermath of the spread of group infections through the door-to-door sales companies and religious facilities in the metropolitan area, Daejeon, and the presence of over 30 people in overseas.

As a quarantine authority, the situation has to be prevented at the same time to prevent the spread of domestic and foreign influx infections.

As of 00:00 today (20th), the Central Quarantine and Prevention Headquarters announced that there were 67 newly confirmed patients, accumulating 12,373 people.

This is the maximum in 23 days since the 28th of May (79 people).

Looking at the infection route, there were 36 local outbreaks and 31 overseas inflows.

Among the newly confirmed 67, 36 metropolitan areas including 14 in Seoul, 17 in Gyeonggi, and 5 in Incheon.

In addition, five people in Daejeon and two people in Chungnam were confirmed.

In addition, two people from Busan and Daegu and one from Jeonbuk and Gyeongbuk.

Out of 17 attempts across the country, more than half of the nine cities, including the metropolitan area, were confirmed.
