<Anchor> The number of
new corona19 confirmed patients has increased to 400 again a day after it has gone down to 300.
This is because everyday infections are continuing, such as workplaces, restaurants, and various meetings, and the number of people vaccinated for Corona 19 has been estimated to be close to 300,000 so far.
This is reporter Jeon Hyeong-woo.
<Reporter> There
were 418 new confirmed cases of Corona 19 that occurred yesterday (5th), and 404 were domestically infected, excluding 14 foreign inflows.
Among them, 317 confirmed cases came out of the metropolitan areas such as Seoul and Gyeonggi, accounting for about two-thirds of all domestic infections.
The reason that the number of new confirmed patients rarely decreases from 3 to 400 people a day is because infections continue in everyday life such as workplaces, restaurants, and various small groups.
In Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, 16 additional people were tested positive in a preemptive preemptive test for foreigners in the region, and about 10 people, including foreign employees, were confirmed in a glass manufacturer in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province.
With sporadic outbreaks continuing, vaccination is accelerating.
Yesterday, 67,000 people received additional vaccinations a day, and so far 296,000 people have completed the first vaccination.
About 1,300 reports of suspected adverse reactions came in a day, and 2,883 cases have been received so far.
By type, minor cases, such as headache and fever, accounted for the majority with 2,800 cases, and 11 cases of anaphylaxis, a severe systemic allergic reaction, were added, increasing to 24 in total.
There have been 7 deaths after vaccination so far, and health authorities are investigating the causality of the adverse effects of the vaccine.
For sustainable quarantine, the government will streamline the distancing system to four stages, and to announce a new distancing reorganization plan, which has eased the ban on private meetings and business hours, is finalized and announced two weeks later.
