The number of new confirmed cases, which temporarily went down to 700 due to holidays, etc., reached 900 again.
880 people occurred a day yesterday (14th), and 162 people surged from the previous day.
As the number of tests nearly doubled compared to Sunday, it seems that more confirmed cases were hidden.
The problem is that this spreading trend could continue for the time being.
Since there are confirmed cases from everywhere, regardless of region or group, it can exceed the record high of 1,030.
It means that it may not have passed the peak yet.

As the quarantine authorities are concerned, if the number of confirmed cases increases in the future, the possibility of a third-level upgrade will inevitably increase.
In fact, the average number of local outbreaks in the last week was 774.4 per day.
It is under the chin of 800 people, which is the three-level upward standard.
The government is still cautious because of fears of enormous economic damage, but the moment of decision is approaching little by little.
Of course, if the proliferation trend breaks, you can keep the last bastion.
But yesterday, there are still no signs of improvement, with confirmed cases appearing in all 17 cities and provinces.
In particular, the situation is serious in the metropolitan area, where new patients, which account for nearly 70% of domestic cases, have occurred.
If you don’t calm down here, it will be difficult to overcome the third pandemic.
Then, let’s take a closer look at the Corona 19 situation in the metropolitan area.
At Seongseok Church in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached 170 within a week after the first confirmed cases came out.
It is literally an emergency, as group infections that started in everyday life spaces such as restaurants also pop up everywhere.
Connect with reporters who are out on the scene. Reporter Shin Joon-myeong!
First of all, please tell us the situation of the group infection at the church.
[기자]
Yes, the number of cumulative confirmed cases related to this church was 168, except for the first confirmed cases that occurred on the 6th, the city of Seoul has identified by 0:00 today.
It is highly likely that the number will increase nationwide. It was found that this church, which has more than 1,000 members registered, holds revival meetings every week and practiced choirs.
This church held revival meetings four times a week for 7 weeks from mid-October to the 3rd of this month.
It was reported that nearly 100 people attended the revival meeting, which lasted from an hour to an hour and a half.
The place where the revival meeting was held was a chapel of 400 people, and it was found that ventilation was difficult because only two windows of 60 cm wide and 40 cm long could be opened.
It was also investigated that the choir practice room has a structure that is difficult to ventilate due to the small windows.
In addition, the quarantine authorities believe that cup noodles and tea were placed at the time of practice, so it is highly likely that church members took off their masks and ate together.
The 10 additional confirmed cases in Seoul yesterday were 7 congregation members, 2 co-workers of the congregation, and 1 family member of the co-worker. The number of additional confirmed cases is expected to increase further.
The city of Seoul has secured an additional list of members of the church and conducted tests, but it said that an additional confirmed person has occurred and is investigating the route of infection.
[앵커]
I’m more worried that group infections are occurring not only in the church but also in the metropolitan area.
[기자]
That’s right. Of the additional confirmed cases identified during the day yesterday, 65% are concentrated in the metropolitan area.
Group infections that occur in daily living spaces such as restaurants, workplaces, and nursing hospitals are continuing.
In Seoul, a new case of outbreak has been identified today.
At the construction site in Yongsan-gu, the number of confirmed cases increased by 12 only yesterday to 15, and the number of confirmed cases related to the Songpa-gu correctional facility was 22, including 4 yesterday.
First, there have been 280 confirmed cases related to restaurants in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
The number of confirmed cases continues to increase as the infection that started here spreads to song classes and nursing homes in Suwon.
In connection with the call center in Jung-gu, Seoul, 21 people were confirmed, and it is estimated that additional spread has occurred to the church where the confirmed person attends.
In the prayer center in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, where the first confirmed cases occurred on the 11th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 34.
The spread of infection in hospitals and nursing hospitals with many elderly people with weak immunity is even more serious.
There were 58 confirmed cases related to Wisdom Hospital in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, and 72 cases were confirmed at Hyoplus Nursing Hospital in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.
In a nursing home in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, after the first confirmed person came out on the 12th, it has been investigated that 17 additional people have been infected so far in the process of investigating the contact person.
In most cases, the mass infection occurred in a so-called 3-mild space where a large number of people were concentrated in an enclosed space and had close contact within 1m.
It was also investigated that a mask was not worn in such a space.
Now that even the route is unknown, asymptomatic and latent infections are spreading throughout everyday life, so it is most important to follow daily quarantine, such as wearing a mask, without worrying about meetings with family, acquaintances, and colleagues.
