South Korea’s Daily Virus Cases Drops Below 100 for First Time in Over a Month

It appears that the lockdown measures South Korea implemented on Seoul is slowly reducing coronavirus infections:

South Korea’s daily new coronavirus cases stayed below 100 for the second consecutive day Monday in what could be a sign of a slowdown in new infections, but the continued high number of untraceable cases and sporadic clusters pose challenges to the country’s virus fight.

The country added 70 more COVID-19 cases, including 55 local infections, raising the total caseload to 23,045, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).

On Sunday, the number of daily new infections fell below 100 for the first time in 38 days at 82.
