|
This is a weekly report on the COVID-19 situation in the Republic of Korea based on the confirmed cases reported through
the Integrated System to Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention according to the INFECTIOUS DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION ACT and based on the epidemiological investigation by central and local health authorities.
As of March 28, 2020, there have been 9,645 confirmed cases in total, including 154 deaths. Confirmed cases have been
reported in all 17 provinces/cities in Korea, with highest number of cases from Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Seoul, and Gyeonggi.
Women accounted for slightly higher proportion (60.3%, n=5,818) of total confirmed cases than men. The median age was
45 years old (range: 0 to 104 years old). Current epidemiological investigation shows several major clusters related with COVID-19. Of the total cases, the proportion of the imported cases (and cases related to the imported cases) is 4.8% (n=465); 53.6% (n=5,171) are Shincheonji (and related); 31.6% (n=3,046) are small clusters and contacts of confirmed cases (other than Shincheonji); and 10.0% (n=963) are currently under investigation.
