<Anchor> The number of



new corona19 confirmed patients has come down to 400 in four days.

However, it is difficult to rest assured that group infections continue to occur in factories and large hospitals.

The government is announcing the application rates for the AstraZeneca vaccine, starting next Friday, on the 20th.

<Reporter> The number of



new corona19 confirmed cases occurred in 446 a day yesterday, down to 400 in four days.



Among the new confirmed cases, 414 cases were domestic, excluding 32 overseas inflows.



By region, 315 people were infected only in the metropolitan area, including 119 people in Seoul and 161 people in Gyeonggi Province, and 99 people were also in non-capital areas such as Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk, and Busan.



The number of deaths has increased to 1,553 so far, with 3 additional deaths.



After the Lunar New Year holiday, the number of confirmed cases has soared to 600 people a day, but the number of confirmed cases is gradually decreasing, but group infections centered on large hospitals and workplaces are still continuing.



The number of confirmed patients at Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Seoul increased to 189, with the number of confirmed patients increasing to 189.



Meanwhile, ahead of the AstraZeneca vaccination starting next Friday, the government is announcing the number of primary vaccinations and consent rate for vaccination today.



Since the 16th, the quarantine authorities have received applications for vaccination through local public health centers.



The primary vaccination target is about 272,000 residents and workers under the age of 65 in nursing hospitals and facilities.



There is a possibility that the actual number of vaccinations may decrease slightly as some medical staff were concerned that they were living with AstraZeneca vaccination.
