Since there is still time until midnight when the tally is finalized, the number of new confirmed cases to be announced on the 15th is expected to increase further.

Due to social distancing and the expanded effect of the third dose of vaccination, the scale of the domestic COVID-19 outbreak had been declining since late last month, but recently, the number of new confirmed cases is rising again due to the spread of the Omicron variant.
