Yesterday (21st) 17 new corona19 confirmed patients in Korea.

It is the first time this month that the number of confirmed patients has decreased to 10.

However, the health authorities judged that the number of diagnostic tests decreased on the weekend, and that it was difficult to see the effect of quarantine.

Rather, the current situation in the metropolitan area was evaluated as the second epidemic of Corona 19.

Since the first epidemic in March-April, when the Guro Call Center group infection occurred, the number of confirmed patients decreased slightly. In the beginning of May, the second epidemic has continued since the Itaewon group infection.
