As the Corona 19 epidemic continued throughout the country, the number of new confirmed cases on the 28th reached the second half of the 300 level.

Compared to the previous day, the number of confirmed cases soared to 441, and this was somewhat reduced.

However, the scale of infection through the Sarangjeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, and the Liberation Day city center rally is growing, as well as large and small group infections in regions outside the metropolitan area, such as Gwangju and Jeonnam, which continues to spread.

In the case of the metropolitan area, the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 7,200, and it surpassed Daegu for the first time since the Corona 19 incident in Korea.

Accordingly, the government is putting all its efforts into preparing measures to curb the spreading trend, leaving all possibilities open, including the three-stage upgrade of'social distancing'.

The Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that as of 0 o'clock on the day, the number of new corona 19 confirmed cases increased by 371, accumulating 19,000.

The number of new confirmed cases is counted as three digits for the fifteenth from the 14th of this month, when the collective infection in the metropolitan area began in earnest.

From the 14th, the number of new confirmed cases per day is 103 → 166 → 279 → 197 → 246 → 297 → 288 → 324 → 332 → 397 → 266 → 280 → 320 → 441 → 371 people, a total of 4,307 new cases occurred during this period.

The number of new confirmed cases soared to 441 the day before, the highest number since the end of February and early March when the'first pandemic' occurred in Daegu and Gyeongbuk, but fell below 400 in one day.

This seems to be affected by the somewhat reduced number of Corona 19 diagnostic tests the previous day due to factors such as typhoons.

As of 0 o'clock on this day, the number of inspections per day is 18,138, which is about 2,000 fewer than the previous day (2,73).
