Abstract
|
|
|
This 6-month report (January 20, 2020 to July 19, 2020) on the COVID-19 situation in Korea was conducted by the disease management division of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC). This report was based on the number of confirmed cases reported through the Integrated System in accordance with Article 11 of the 「Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Act」 and on epidemiological investigations conducted by central and local health authorities.
By July 19, 2020, there were 13,745 confirmed cases of COVID-19; including 295 deaths. Confirmed cases were reported in all 17 provinces and cities in Korea, with the highest number of cases recorded in the provinces of Gyeonggi and Gyeongbuk and in the cities of Daegu and Seoul. The results indicated that, by gender, women accounted for a slightly higher proportion (55.8%) of total confirmed cases than men.
The main infectious paths confirmed by epidemiological investigations showed several major clusters related to COVID-19. Of the total cases, the proportion of imported cases was 14.9%; 37.9% were from the Shincheonji Church (and Shincheonji-related); 27.2% were small clusters and contacts of confirmed cases (other than Shincheonji); and 8.6% were under investigation as per the infection route surveys.
