With the rapid spread of Corona 19 in the metropolitan area, the number of new confirmed cases per day (15th) hit 100 for two consecutive days.

The Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that as of 0 o'clock today, the number of new corona19 confirmed cases in Korea increased by 166, accumulating 15,000.

It is the first time since the end of March that it has recorded three digits for two days in a row following 103 yesterday.

The number of 166 new confirmed cases was the highest in 157 days, 5 months after 242 on March 11.

In addition, local outbreaks were 155, much more than 11 foreign inflows.

By region, there were a whopping 145 in the metropolitan area alone, including 72 in Seoul, 67 in Gyeonggi, and 6 in Incheon, and 3 in Busan and Gangwon, and one in Gwangju, Daejeon, Chungnam and Gyeongnam.

As such, in Seoul and Gyeonggi, the number of confirmed cases is increasing, mainly in churches, and concerns about the'metropolitan pandemic' are growing.

Accordingly, the government believes that the Corona 19 incident is serious and is expected to raise the current'social distance' from the first stage to the second stage.
