According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the two new cases, compiled in the 24-hour period through 12 a.m. Wednesday, were imported and detected in airport screenings. The national tally now stands at 10-thousand-806. 

It marks the lowest daily increase since February 18, which also saw two new cases. One was the nation’s 31st patient who would start a mass infection in Daegu and its surrounding North Gyeongsang Province. 

For the 19th consecutive day, the country reported less than 20 daily additions. It is the third day in a row with no single domestic transmission reported.
