SEOUL - South Korea reported 505 additional coronavirus infections in its largest daily increase on Thursday, as the United States issued a new warning against travel to the Asian nation, and their militaries postponed a joint drill.The new cases take total infections to 1,766, the Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention said, for the largest daily jump since the first confirmed infection on Jan. 20. South Korea also reported a 13th death.
In Seoul, the capital, people waited in long queues at some stores to buy masks, which have been in short supply, despite only a few dozen infections reported in the city. The virus that can lead to pneumonia is believed to have originated in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year before killing more than 2,700 and infecting about 80,000, the vast majority in China.
The South Korean military has also reported at least 21 infections, and has confined most troops to their bases. On Thursday, media said a Korean Air flight attendant who tested positive for the virus had worked on flights between Seoul and Los Angeles.
