As of yesterday's noon, five additional people were infected with the confirmed person's family or acquaintances related to the Gosi Academy in Noryangjin, Seoul.



At the Dongdaemun-gu high school in Seoul, 7 people, including teachers and students, were previously confirmed, but the coronavirus spread to a church in Mapo-gu, Seoul, where the family of the confirmed person attended, and the number of related confirmed patients increased to 76.



An additional 103 confirmed cases occurred in non-metropolitan areas.



On the 20th, 36 additional contacts were infected with the military base in Cheorwon County, Gangwon Province, where the first confirmed cases were confirmed, resulting in 37 cases.



Recently, although the area of ​​activity is wide, the proportion of confirmed patients under 40 who do not have symptoms or feel well has increased to more than half, and as a result, serial infections in daily life through meetings with family and acquaintances are rapidly increasing.



[Dao-Tae Kang/Second Vice Minister of Health and Welfare: In order to cut off the infection loop and prevent large-scale spread due to the widespread infection in the local community, the only thing to do is to minimize all daily contacts and meetings.]



Meanwhile, the number of deaths related to Corona 19 infection increased by one more. So far, 510 people have been killed.
