<Anchor> The
number of new corona19 confirmed cases recorded 416 yesterday (20th), down to 400 on the second day.
However, the number of inspections yesterday, on the weekend, has decreased significantly, and there is a possibility that the impact of the population movement during the Lunar New Year holiday will appear in the future.

<Reporter> The number of
new corona 19 confirmed cases was added yesterday, 416 people a day, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 86,000.
Although the number decreased by 32 from 448 the previous day, the number of inspections yesterday on Saturday was 2,700, and it was not enough to half of the 44,600 cases on Friday, the previous day, so it is too early to believe that the spread has been broken.
In particular, there is a possibility that the aftermath of the Lunar New Year holiday, when a large-scale population movement occurred, and the effect of easing the social distancing stage, could gradually emerge.
Among the new confirmed cases, 391 cases of infection in Korea were all, and it has only been six days since the last 15 days that the number of confirmed cases in the region has dropped to 300.
By region, 311 people concentrated in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon, and they accounted for 80% of the total domestic outbreak.
80 people were also infected in non-capital areas such as Busan, Chungnam and Gyeongnam.
It has been only six days since the 15th that the number of confirmed cases in the non-metropolitan area fell to double digits.
The number of foreign inflow cases was counted as 25.
Four more of the corona 19 infected patients died yesterday, killing 1,557 so far.
As for major infection cases, the number of confirmed cases related to Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Seoul increased to 201, followed by 148 plastic plants in Namyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and 165 cricket boiler plants in Asan.
