A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Korea showed signs of re-proliferation, and on the 12th, New Year’s Day, there were confirmed cases across the country.

According to the quarantine authorities and local governments such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a total of 303 new confirmed cases were confirmed positive in the Corona 19 test from 0 a.m. to 6 p.m.

It is 20 fewer than the 323 total at the same time the day before.

The decrease in the number of confirmed interim counts on the previous day and this day compared to the last 10 days (393) seems to reflect the effect of the decrease in the number of inspections during the Lunar New Year holidays.

In the area where confirmed cases were found, 232 (76.6%) in the metropolitan area and 71 (23.4%) in the non-metropolitan area.

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.

Out of 17 cities and provinces nationwide, there have not been confirmed cases in Ulsan, Sejong and Jeonnam.

As time remains until midnight when the count is closed, the number of new confirmed cases to be announced as of 0:00 on the 12th is expected to increase further, reaching the late 300 level or the early 400 level.

The previous day, by midnight, an additional 80 people increased, and the final 403 people ended.

The’third pandemic’, which started in earnest from mid-November last year, has entered a calming phase in the new year, but recently, the number of confirmed cases has increased again, showing an uneasy pattern. The number of new confirmed cases, which had fallen to the late 200 level, has soared to the early 500 level and has now dropped to 400.
