SEOUL: South Korea’s Prime Minister said on Saturday (March 14) the country’s war against the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak is broadening despite a notable decline in new cases. He is urging vigilance after the emergence of infection clusters in areas including Seoul and warning of the possibility that the virus re-enters the country from abroad.

Chung Se-kyun’s comments during a government meeting on Saturday came as infections continued to slow in the worst-hit city of Daegu, which has reported daily increases of 60 to 70 cases over the past three days after averaging around 500 new cases per day a week ago. But there’s concern over a steady rise in infections in the Seoul metropolitan area, where at least 115 infections have been connected to a call centre.
The ministry said the Japanese official had stayed at his hotel until his departure from Paris on Friday.
