1832 New COVID-19 Cases Nationwide by 9 PM... Around 2000 Expected Tomorrow

On the 10th, when the number of new COVID-19 confirmed cases was recorded at 1,594, citizens were getting tested at the temporary screening clinic at Seoul Station. According to the Central Disease Control Headquarters, as of midnight that day, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased by 1,594 to 331,519. Although the number remained in the 1,000s for the second consecutive day, this result reflects a decrease in the number of tests conducted over the weekend, so it is difficult to interpret it as a sign that the spread is slowing down.
