South Korea’s Daily COVID Cases Continue to Drop from Record Peak

It looks like South Korea’s COVID numbers is beginning to trend downward to finally match what is going on in much of the rest of the world:

South Korea’s new daily COVID-19 cases fell below 200,000 for the first time in 25 days Monday, as the omicron-driven virus peak appears to have passed amid growing concerns over the spread of the even more transmissible “stealth omicron” subvariant.

The country added 187,213 new coronavirus infections, including 25 cases from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 12,003,054, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said. 

It is the first time since March 2 that the daily caseload dropped below 200,000. On March 2, the figure came to 198,803.
