<Reporter> The number of
new corona19 confirmed cases was added to 125 yesterday (4th) a day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 275,50.
Among the new confirmed cases, 108 domestic cases and 17 overseas inflows were tentatively counted.
By region, most of the confirmed cases, including 46 in Seoul, 23 in Gyeonggi, and 3 in Incheon, are concentrated in the metropolitan area.
In the non-metropolitan area, Chungnam was the largest with 23, and the number of confirmed cases is rapidly increasing due to a group infection occurring in a call center in Cheonan.
After the first confirmed yesterday, 19 additional employees were confirmed today.
At the call center, it was confirmed that more than 70 people, including counseling staff, worked in the same space.
The city of Cheonan is planning to close the call center and issue orders to suspend attendance at six nearby schools where employees' children attend.
The quarantine authorities also believe that there is a possibility that additional confirmed cases will come out this week related to'Halloween Day', which attracted a large crowd.
