As the spread of coronavirus infection-19 (corona19), which seemed to falter in recent days, has risen again, the number of new confirmed patients on the 22nd reached 60.

It has risen to 60 people in five days since the last 17 days (60 people).

This is due to a significant increase in both overseas inflows and regional outbreaks. In particular, it seems that the spread of regional infections is not serious.

A group of infections also occurred in the frontal units of the army in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do, following the confirmation of the elderly welfare facilities in the metropolitan area, nursing homes, and offices.

As of 00:00 on the 22nd, the Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that the number of new corona19 confirmed patients increased to 63,791.

There was an expectation that the number of new confirmers per day fell to 26 people on the 20th, and that the spreading trend was gradually decreasing, but it has soared for two consecutive days (45, 63).

Looking at the path of infection of new confirmers, there were 34 foreign inflows and 29 local outbreaks.

The 29 outbreaks are the highest in two weeks since the 8th of this month (30).

If you divide the occurrence of regional outbreaks by city, there are 28 metropolitan areas including 16 in Seoul, 8 in Gyeonggi, and 4 in Incheon, and one newly emerged from Gwangju.

Local infections are spreading mainly in the metropolitan area, but in Seoul, the aftermath of the collective infection of Gangseo Central Day Care Center, a day and night protection facility for Banghwa 1-dong, Gangseo-gu, continues.

Here, a total of 12 people were confirmed until the day before the first confirmed person came out on the 19th.
