Of the 77 new confirmed cases, 66 were local outbreaks, mostly from the metropolitan area.



Large and small group infections are continuing through various small groups, nursing homes, and medical institutions.



A new family group infection has been confirmed in Guro-gu, Seoul.



Since the first confirmed case on Thursday, 12 more have been confirmed so far, including 3 family members and 4 family workers.



At a ballet academy in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, 13 elementary school students were newly infected with Corona 19. This is the result of testing on the school students after one of the confirmed cases of the Guro-gu family, the instructor of this school, was confirmed.



[Gyeonggi Bucheon City Hall officials: 2 yesterday, 11 today are academy students (confirmed).

The academy instructor is No. 199 in Guro-gu (Iyoyo).]



Additional confirmed cases came from Namyangju nursing home and Gwangju Rehabilitation Hospital, where a group infection occurred recently.



[Kwon Jun-wook/Deputy Head of Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters: The fact that it occurs in medical institutions, nursing homes, etc., in itself, means that community control, which is an intermediate link, is still insufficient, so we will manage the situation strictly.



The development of domestic treatments is also accelerating.



Antibody treatments under development in Korea have been confirmed to have a protective effect against six types of coronaviruses that are currently in epidemic.



However, since it was confirmed through cell experiments, clinical trials remain.



The quarantine authorities said that next weekend'Halloween Day' would be another anxiety factor in the spread of the coronavirus, and if there were any suspicious symptoms, they asked to refrain from attending the event.
