63 new corona confirmed cases occurred yesterday, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Korea increased to 13,244.

The number of foreign inflow cases is the highest in 94 days since April 5th.

Eleven of these were confirmed during the quarantine process, while the other 22 were in quarantine after entry.

In the case of regional outbreaks, 17 cases occurred in the metropolitan area including 5 in Seoul, 11 in Gyeonggi, and 1 in Incheon, and 7 in Gwangju, 3 in Chungnam, 2 in Daejeon, and 1 in Jeonnam were respectively confirmed.

In the metropolitan area, eight people including church members and their families were confirmed at Wondang Cathedral in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.

Goyang City is closing the cathedral and conducting a thorough inspection of 620 members who attended the Mass.

The health authorities said that the collective infection through the church-related delinquency was repeated in the metropolitan area and the Honam region, and decided to impose a duty to comply with the core quarantine rules.

Accordingly, from 6 pm on the day after tomorrow, all consumables and events other than regular worship are prohibited in churches nationwide.

In addition, it is difficult to provide group meals that have a high risk of spreading the virus because it is difficult to wear a mask.

Violation of the quarantine rules can result in a fine of 3 million won, not only for the person in charge of the church, but also for the user.
