Among the new confirmed cases added yesterday (14th), 848 people were infected in the community.
Among them, 575 confirmed cases were concentrated in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon.
273 people were also added in non-capital areas such as Ulsan, Busan, and Daejeon.
In particular, concerns are growing as new group infections emerge one after another in religious and nursing homes that have been quiet for a while.
In fact, 22 additional people, including church members, their families, and acquaintances, were infected with a religious facility in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, resulting in 162 cases.
At a religious facility in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, where the first confirmed cases came out on the 12th, 42 additional people were tested positive in the process of tracking contact, and the number of related confirmed cases increased to 43.
In a nursing home in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi Province, 18 people, including workers and residents, were collectively infected with the coronavirus.
There is a crisis situation in which the number of confirmed cases can explosively increase at any time, and the government emphasized that prior to raising the distance to the third stage, actions appropriate to the current distance stage should be implemented.
