The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said on Sunday that 95 new cases were reported throughout Saturday, raising the accumulated total to 23-thousand-611.

Out of the 73 domestic cases, 60 were from the capital region, including 33 from Seoul, 18 from Gyeonggi Province and nine from Incheon. The number of cases in the metro region rose by 21 from the previous day.
Of the 22 imported cases, eleven were detected upon arrival at quarantine checkpoints at airports or ports, while the other eleven tested positive during self-isolation.
