On the 15th, as 880 new COVID-19 cases were reported, approaching the 900 mark again, medical staff collected specimens at a temporary screening clinic set up in the parking lot of the Amsa-dong Prehistoric Residential Site in Gangdong-gu. The Central Disease Control Headquarters announced that as of midnight that day, the number of new confirmed cases increased by 880. Due to the holiday effect, the number of tests conducted decreased compared to weekdays, causing the previous day's new cases to drop to the low 700s, but as the number of tests increased, the new cases approached the 900 level again. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
