262 New COVID-19 Cases Nationwide by 6 PM... 41 Fewer Than Previous Day
According to the quarantine authorities, Seoul city, and other local governments on the 13th, 262 new COVID-19 cases were confirmed nationwide from midnight to 6 p.m. on that day.
This is 41 fewer than the 303 cases reported at the same time on the previous day, the 12th. On the 12th, the total number of confirmed cases for the entire day was 362. This appears to largely reflect the decrease in testing during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Among the confirmed cases, 212 (80.9%) were from the metropolitan area, and 50 (19.1%) were from non-metropolitan areas. The breakdown is as follows: Seoul 128, Gyeonggi 70, Busan 15, Incheon 14, Chungnam 10, Gyeongbuk 5, Jeonbuk 4, Daegu, Ulsan, Daejeon, and Gyeongnam each 3, Gangwon and Chungbuk each 2.
