This is the smallest increase in the number of infections in South Korea in almost a month, but this is mainly due to fewer tests conducted over the weekend.. Authorities warn that new outbreaks revealed after easing epidemic restrictions have already led to the second wave of the epidemic.
This is written by URA-Inform with reference to Yonhap.
- Initially, we predicted that the second wave would appear in autumn or winter. Our predictions turned out to be wrong.
“We think that as long as people have close contacts with each other, infections will still occur,” said the head of the Korean Centers for Disease Control (KCDC), Dzeong Yong Kyong.
Seoul Mayor Park Won-san stressed that from the end of April to June 11, there has been an increase in the spread of coronavirus in South Korea to the level of 1.79. If the current trend continues, then in July more than 800 new infections may occur again per day.
WHO previously reported the most tragic day since the start of the pandemic.
