Of the 305 new confirmed cases, 285 were domestic cases excluding 20 foreign inflows.



It has been two months since the end of November last year that the number of domestic cases has decreased to 200.



But the small group infection continued.

The government believes that the spread of infection can start again at any time, and has extended the current social distancing stage to the 14th, when the Lunar New Year holiday ends.



Accordingly, the ban on private gatherings with more than 5 people and the ban on business after 9 pm continues.



However, starting from today, the space of one space has been eased so that you can sit with your companion in movie theaters and performance halls.



The 9:00 p.m. suspension of winter sports facilities such as ski resorts has also been lifted, and indoor sports facilities' shower stalls can be floated one by one.



The quarantine authorities decided to reconsider whether or not to ease the distance this weekend, a week later.

Central Vaccination Center, which is in charge of vaccinating the initial amount of Pfizer vaccine, which

will be

introduced next month, also has a national central government. It was installed on the site of the former USFK Corps of Engineers right next to the medical center.



The Central Vaccination Center decided to finalize a specific operation plan after conducting vaccination simulation training in conjunction with the vaccination response promotion team.
