Out of 63 new corona19 patients in Korea yesterday, 29 cases occurred in the region and 34 cases inflow from overseas.

In the case of overseas inflow cases, 11 people from Uzbekistan, 7 and 4 from the Philippines and Kazakhstan, respectively, mostly came from countries targeted for strengthening quarantine.

Domestic outbreaks were concentrated in the metropolitan area except for one from Gwangju, including 16 in Seoul, 8 in Gyeonggi, and 4 in Incheon.

In particular, two soldiers were confirmed yesterday at a military unit in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, and 11 soldiers who contacted them were confirmed.

Although inspections are conducted on about 200 troops, the possibility of further spread beyond 50 contacts cannot be ruled out.

In addition, cases of tertiary infections due to visitors to Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, were confirmed in Jeju.

The government recently said that there have been few cases of group infection related to religious facilities such as churches.

In addition, as the recent rapid expansion of Corona 19 in Iraq, two military aircraft will be sent tomorrow to bring about 290 Koreans working locally.
