While the spread of Corona 19 in Korea is strong every day, the number of new confirmed cases today (13th) also approached 2,000.
The Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters announced that as of 00:00 today, the number of new confirmed cases increased by 1,990, to a total of 22,182.
3 more than yesterday (1,987), continuing the high of 1,900 for two days in a row.
In particular, the number of 1,990 people is the second largest since the Corona 19 incident in Korea following the 11th (2,222 people).
Although it is 232 fewer than the record high two days ago, it is 286 more than the 1,704 of last Friday (as of 00:00 on the 6th) a week ago, so it is difficult to say that the spread has slowed.
Looking at the route of infection of new confirmed cases, 1,913 cases were local and 77 were imported.
The number of local confirmed cases soared to 2,144 on the 11th, and has decreased slightly, with 1,947 and 1,913 in two days, but it is still close to 2,000.
The 4th pandemic, which started in earnest in the metropolitan area at the beginning of last month, has recently spread to non-metropolitan areas in earnest, showing a nationwide trend.
The number of confirmed cases per day has been in the four digits for 38 consecutive days since the 7th of last month (1,212 people).
From the 7th of this month to today, 1,823 → 1,728 → 1,492 → 1,537 → 2,222 (corrected from the original 2,223) → 1,987 → 1,990 people came out, at least 1,400 people came out.
