Gwangju, 14 people were infected in another church following the IM Mission-related educational facility and Antioch Church.

The infection of homeless people at Seoul Station Square is also spreading.
When the Seoul Metropolitan Government examined 717 homeless people and found 39 confirmed cases, it decided to stop operating the homeless facilities and provide alternative accommodation.
In a nursing home in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, the number of patients increased to 26 within three days of the first confirmation, and the number of confirmed cases increased to 15 at a kindergarten in Suwon, where transmission was started through asymptomatically infected children.
The average number of confirmed cases per day for the last week is 422, which corresponds to the 2.5 steps of distance distancing currently being implemented in the metropolitan area.
