[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The number of new COVID-19 cases in South Korea has reached the high 400s.


The Central Disease Control Headquarters announced on the 30th at midnight that there were 480 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total to 139,910.


This is 53 fewer than the previous day (533), dropping below 500. The number of cases in the 400s is the first in 20 days since the 10th of this month (463 cases).


The decrease in the number of tests conducted over the weekend is believed to have contributed to the decline in cases. However, it is still difficult to say that the number of cases is decreasing as a trend.



Among the new cases reported that day, 464 were locally transmitted and 16 were imported.
