코로나19 신규확진 34명…수도권 29명
South Korea, on Sunday, confirmed 34 new cases of COVID-19.
All but five of them were in the Seoul metropolitan area just three were imported.
These are mostly infections linked to a local door-to-door sales company.
The authorities are looking into a cluster that has spread from an elderly woman who attended a seminar held by the company... and who then transmitted the virus to a woman in her twenties.
From there, it was spread at a bar, a private study institute and a gym.
The health authorities say people in their twenties can spread the virus more easily because they're socially active and often don't show clear symptoms.
With no additional deaths, the death toll remains unchanged at 277.
In total, the number of COVID-19 cases in South Korea stands at 12-thousand-85.
