[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The number of new confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has remained in the 20s for the third consecutive day.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) Central Disease Control Headquarters announced on the 24th at midnight that 25 new COVID-19 cases were confirmed. This brings the total number of confirmed cases in the country to 11,190.

By region, the new confirmed cases were 6 each in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gyeongbuk, 2 in Incheon, and 1 in Gangwon. Four cases were detected during quarantine. As confirmed cases from the Itaewon club-related 'n-th generation infections' continue to occur, the spread is extending not only in the metropolitan area but also to provincial regions, causing health authorities to remain vigilant.

Additionally, health authorities are conducting COVID-19 tests on 20,333 people. The total number of people tested so far is 820,289.
