By 9:00 pm yesterday (9th), the 20th presidential election day, more than 300,000 confirmed cases occurred across the country.
It is the second highest figure based on the 9 p.m. midterm count.
At the same time, the number of confirmed cases is 21,000 fewer than the 326,000 the day before when the highest number of confirmed cases was recorded.
It is 1.6 times higher than the count for the same time zone on the 2nd, a week ago, and 1.9 times compared to the count on the 23rd of last month, two weeks ago.
Experts believe that the domestic Corona 19 epidemic has entered the 'peak section' and is expected to turn down after about 300,000 new confirmed cases a day for one to two weeks.
