<Anchor> The



number of severe cases of Corona 19 was 549 yesterday (22nd), which once again recorded an all-time high. The number of patients waiting for more than a day after being confirmed in the metropolitan area continued to rise to 800, and the government said it would consider strengthening quarantine measures, including emergency plans, if the current situation continues.

is an elderly care facility in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.

It will be four weeks next week after the first phase of the phased daily recovery started, but the transition to the second phase will not be easy.
