It is the first time since the outbreak of 297 on the 6th of last month that the number of confirmed cases has been recorded in Seoul.
Although the number of people has been maintained at 100 all the time, concerns have become reality as group infections continue to occur in hospitals and hydration academies.
In addition, infection from family gatherings or visits during the Lunar New Year holidays is also a concern.

The concerns of the authorities that have eased quarantine regulations such as extending business hours are expected to deepen amid opposition from self-employed people who are disrupting their lives.
