SEOUL (AP): South Korea has reported 48 new cases of Covid-19 (coronavirus) as health authorities struggle to contain a resurgence that’s erasing some of the country’s hard-won gains against the virus.
Figures released by the Korea Centre for Disease Control and Prevention on Sunday brought the national caseload to 12,421 confirmed infections including 280 deaths.
Ten others were reported from the central city of Daejeon, indicating that the virus was beginning to spread more broadly, apparently as a result of increased public activity and complacency in social distancing. Seventy other cases were linked to a table tennis club in another part of Seoul, where members also passed the virus at a church.
