South Korea CDC: 977 COVID-19 Cases - 10 Deaths




#14,945


The latest (1600hrs KST) summary from South Korea's CDC shows an increase of 144 cases over the past 24 hours, after which I'll return with some details on the spread of the virus across the South Korean peninsula.


The afternoon update (above) is just a summary, but the morning update (issued 10 hours ago) provides us with more details about the cases (up to that point). 

While more than half of all confirmed cases are  epidemiologically linked to the Shincheon Daegu Church, the epidemic has spread to at least 18 cities and counties (see chart below) across the Korean Peninsula.
