– According to the quarantine authorities and local governments such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a total of 303 new confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) from 0 o’clock to 6 PM on New Year’s Day were confirmed. It is 20 fewer than the 323 total at the same time the day before. It seems that the decrease in the number of inspections was reflected due to the effect of the Lunar New Year holidays.
By city and province, Seoul 120 people, Gyeonggi 82 people, Incheon 30 people, Busan 26 people, Chungnam 11 people, Daegu 8 people, Gyeongbuk 5 people, Daejeon, Jeonbuk, Jeju 4 people, Gyeongnam and Chungbuk each 3, Gwangju 2, Gangwon one, etc. 232 (76.6%) in the metropolitan area and 71 (23.4%) in the non-metropolitan area.
If the count continues until midnight, the deadline, the final daily new confirmed cases are expected to be in the late 300 or early 400. The final count on the previous day was 403.
The number of new confirmed cases that occurred in the last week from the 6th to this day was 393 → 371 → 288 → 303 → 444 → 504 → 403 daily, with an average of 386 cases per day.
After recording 288 on the 8th, the number of confirmed cases increased to 300~500 again. The quarantine authorities are tense as the number of confirmed cases may increase due to the Lunar New Year holidays where there are many movements.
