<Reporter> The
number of new confirmed cases, which increased to 114 as of 0 o'clock yesterday, fell to 60 in one day.
Of the 69 new confirmed cases, 60 are domestic confirmers, minus 9 from overseas.
By region, there were 19 in Seoul, 22 in Gyeonggi, and 5 in Incheon, with 46 in the metropolitan area alone.
In the non-metropolitan area, Daejeon was the largest with 7 people, 5 in Busan, and 1 in each of Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam.
In Daejeon, another family infection related to the Chuseok holiday was confirmed.
A man in his 70s gathered and ate with his family on the 1st, the second day of the holiday, and then 7 members of his family, including son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, were confirmed one after another.
Also, in Yangji Village, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, where the entire village was quarantined due to an infection during the Chuseok holiday, the number of confirmed patients increased to 12.
In Busan, a man in his 60s who visited Osan after violating self-isolation on the 6th, right after the Chuseok holiday, was caught and prosecuted.
Considering that the corona 19 incubation period is around five days, additional cases of infection related to the Chuseok holiday may come out.
The quarantine authorities repeatedly requested to refrain from going out and meetings ahead of the Hangeul Day holiday starting tomorrow.
