110 new infections with the coronavirus have been registered in South Korea. Half of the cases are related to a hospital in Busan city, the South Korean Disease Control and Prevention Authority said on Thursday.
In the country with a good 51 million inhabitants, the official number of cases is almost 25,000. At least 54 of the new infections are related to the elderly hospital.
More than 40 have been recorded in the densely populated metropolitan area of Seoul, with connections to hospitals, churches, schools and offices. The steady rise in new infections is cause for concern in the East Asian country, which recently eased distance-keeping measures,
allowing nightclubs and karaoke bars to reopen, and allowing spectators to attend sporting events. The authorities therefore want to test 160,000 employees in hospitals, nursing homes and social stations in Seoul and the surrounding area for the virus.
