In about 8 weeks, the interim count exceeded 30,000… 2.9 times from the previous day, 3.8 times from 2 weeks ago
57.5% came from the metropolitan area, including 10,187 in Gyeonggi and 9,412 in Seoul
As the Corona 19 epidemic entered a clear spread phase, by 9 pm on the 11th, there were more than 30,000 confirmed cases across the country.
According to each local government, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, 35,805 people were confirmed with COVID-19 in 17 cities and provinces across the country from 00:00 to 9pm on the same day.
The number increased by 23,592 from 12,213 at the same time as the previous day, a 2.9 times increase.
It seems that the effect of the increase in the number of inspections over the weekend was also reflected.
The number soared to 2.1 times that of the same time period (17,146 people) a week ago on the 3rd, and 3.8 times from the 27th of last month (9,299 people) two weeks ago (9,299 people).
The ‘doubling’ phenomenon, in which the number of confirmed cases doubles every week, continues.
It is the first time in about eight weeks since May 17 (36,31 people) that the number of new confirmed cases exceeded 30,000 as of 9:00 pm.
The government is judging that Corona 19 has entered the phase of a re-invasion, and decided to announce quarantine and medical countermeasures in preparation for a resurgence in the summer on the 13th.
Prior to this, the National Infectious Disease Crisis Response Advisory Committee, which serves as an advisor to the government regarding quarantine policies, held its first meeting this evening and gathered expert opinions on the countermeasures.
As there is still time until midnight when the counting ends, the number of new confirmed cases to be announced on the 12th is expected to increase to the high 30,000 mark.
The number of daily new confirmed cases for one week from the 5th was 18,136 → 19,363 → 18,505 → 19,323 → 2286 → 20,410 → 12,693, an average of 18,388 per day.
In the interim count on that day, 25,600 (57.5%) of new confirmed cases came from the metropolitan area and 15,205 (42.5%) from non-metropolitan areas.
The number of confirmed cases by region is 10,187 in Gyeonggi, 9,412 in Seoul, 2,106 in Gyeongnam, 1,875 in Incheon, 1,483 in Busan, 1,280 in Daegu, 1,245 in Chungnam, 1,000 in Gyeongbuk. 162 people, Ulsan 1,01, Jeonbuk 991, Chungbuk 976, Daejeon 914, Gangwon 889, Jeonnam 754, Gwangju 699, Jeju 511, and Sejong 320.
