The spread of Corona 19 in Korea is fierce.

The new confirmed cases, which had been slowing down for a while since the 13th, entered the thousand people again on the 16th.

The spread has seldom broken and has crossed the 1,000 mark for five consecutive days.

At the same time, it again broke the record for the number of confirmed cases per day.

This is the highest number in 335 days since January 20, when the first confirmed case in Korea was released.

In particular, the number of tests decreased by nearly 20,000 from weekdays last week, but the number of confirmed cases is increasing.

By region, Seoul was the largest with 470, and the metropolitan area, including Gyeonggi and Incheon, reached 800.

In the non-metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, where the ski resort chain infection continues, has increased significantly to 55.

In 16 provincial cities nationwide excluding Sejong City, infections occurred one after another, mainly in nursing homes and religious facilities.

The number of deaths increased by 15 to 674.

Compared to the number of tests the previous day, the positive rate indicating confirmed cases increased to 2.98%, a significant increase from 1.87% the day before.

While the third pandemic of Corona 19 has not subsided despite the increased distance, some experts expressed concern that if the current trend continues, it could soar to 2,000 confirmed cases a day sooner or later.
