After one worker was first infected on the 9th, 12 more were confirmed.
Six, half, had breakthrough infections after vaccination was completed.
In Daegu, about 40 church members who took a chartered bus to Seoul at the end of last month were confirmed.
Although large and small group infections continue, the spread, which has exceeded 2,000, is stabilizing somewhat.
The average daily number of confirmed cases last week was 1,961, a 21% decrease from 2,489 the previous week.
[Park Hyang/Central Accident Control Headquarters Head of Prevention and Prevention: The current epidemic is spreading mainly among those who have not completed vaccination. Therefore, it seems that the speed of transmission is slowing as the vaccination is gradually expanding.]
However,
the number of people traveling during the
Hangeul Day holiday exceeds the Chuseok and National Foundation holidays, so the number of confirmed cases may increase significantly this week.
The quarantine authorities will announce the new distance adjustment plan that will take effect from Monday next week on Friday.

The 'Covid-19 Daily Recovery Support Committee', chaired by the Prime Minister as co-chair, held its first meeting this morning and officially launched.
