SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea on Sunday reported 34 additional cases of the coronavirus amid a spate of infections linked to club goers, as President Moon Jae-in urged calm, saying that “there’s no reason to stand still out of fear."
Figures released by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised the number of virus cases to 10,874, including 256 deaths.
The agency said 26 of the 34 new patients were locally transmitted cases, while the others came from overseas. It was the first time that the daily jump has been above 30 in about a month.
