As the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) continues domestically, medical staff are working at the temporary screening clinic at Seoul Station in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 3rd. On this day, the Central Disease Control Headquarters announced that as of midnight, 657 new confirmed cases were added, bringing the total to 63,244. The number in the 600s was recorded for the first time in 23 days since the 11th of last month (689 cases). However, this is due to a significant decrease in the number of diagnostic tests during the New Year holiday (January 1?3) compared to the previous weekdays, so it is too early to conclude that the spread is slowing down. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
