While the spread of Corona 19 in Korea continues, the number of new confirmed cases today (31st) recorded the high 1,300 range.
The Central Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters (Bangdaebon) announced that as of 00:00 today, the number of new confirmed cases increased by 1,372, bringing the total to 251,421.
It dropped 115 from yesterday (1,487) and fell to the 1,300 level for the first time in two weeks since the 17th (1,372).
However, it is difficult to see that the spread of the virus has slowed as the effect of the decrease in the number of weekend and holiday inspections was reflected at once.
Usually the number of cases is low at the beginning of the week and tends to increase from the mid-start Wednesday.
In particular, the number of confirmed cases can grow again at any time as the 'delta-type' mutation from India, which has a stronger transmission power, continues to spread, and the Chuseok holiday is expected next month.
If you look at the route of infection of the new confirmed cases today, 1,333 cases were local and 39 were imported.
The 4th pandemic, which started in earnest at the beginning of last month, is spreading nationwide.
As cluster infections continued throughout the country, the number of daily confirmed patients continued to rise in the four digits for 56 consecutive days from the 7th of last month (1,211 people).
From the 25th of this month to today, if you look at the new confirmed cases in the last week, 2,154 → 1,882 → 1,838 → 1,791 → 1,619 → 1,487 → 1,372 by day At least 1,300 people came out every day, and at most around 2,000 people came and went.
