While the momentum of the domestic Corona 19 'fourth pandemic' is not slowing down, the number of new confirmed cases today (23rd) was in the low 1,600 range.
The Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) announced that as of 00:00 today, the number of new confirmed cases increased by 1,630 to 185,733.
The number fell by 212 from yesterday (1,842 people), which set the record for the most since the Corona 19 incident in Korea, and it has come down to the 1,600 level.
Today, the route of infection of the new confirmed cases is 1,574 local and 56 imported.
The number of local confirmed cases increased by 41 from yesterday (1,533), but the number of confirmed cases imported from overseas decreased significantly from yesterday (309).
This is due to a temporary increase in the number of confirmed cases as the 270 confirmed cases of Cheonghae unit members who returned early due to a group infection were reflected as cases of inflow from overseas yesterday.
The 4th pandemic, which started in earnest in the metropolitan area, has recently spread to non-metropolitan areas as well and is becoming nationwide.
The number of daily confirmed cases has also been in the four digits for the 17th day since the 7th (1,212 people).
If you look at the new confirmed cases in the last week (July 17-23), 1,452 → 1,454 → 1,251 → 1,278 → 1,781 → 1,842 → 1,630 by day. It showed up and down between 1,200 and 1,800 people.
