Other cases include three each in Busan and North Chungcheong Province as well as one each in Gwangju, Ulsan and Sejong.
According to the government data, Daegu and North Gyeongsang accounted for 88.1 percent of the country’s coronavirus cases with 6,031 and 1,157, respectively, largely due to widespread transmission among followers of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus in Daegu City.
Among the infected people, female accounted for 61.6 percent. By age, those in their 20s’ made up the largest portion with 28.2 percent, followed by those in 50s’ (19.2 percent), in 40s (14 percent) and 60s (12.4 percent).

President Moon Jae-in is set to designate Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province as special disaster zones upon request from governors of the respective areas.
Once the president approves it, the government will investigate the damage situation and establish a recovery plan and support 50 percent of the recovery cost. Residents’ livelihood and housing stability costs, relief gold for deaths, injuries and others, will be also provided. Reduction benefits on electricity bills, health insurance premiums, communication fees and city gas charges too will be given to the residents.
