This is a 6 months report on the Coronavirus Disease-19 (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 July 19, 2020, there were 13,745 confirmed cases of COVID-19, and including 295 deaths. Confirmed cases were reported in all 17 provinces/cities in Korea, with the highest number of cases from Daegu, Seoul, Gyeonggi and Gyeongbuk Province. The results indicated that, by gender, women accounted for a slightly higher proportion (55.8%) of total confirmed cases than men.
