As of July 3, 2023, South Korea has confirmed a total of 32,256,154 cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) within the country, including 35,071 deaths. South Korea's handling of the coronavirus (COVID-19) was initially widely praised, though the government's handling of vaccine distribution has been criticized. After the first wave lasted till April, Seoul and the metropolitan areas were hit hard by a few group infections during the second wave in August 2020. This was followed by a fourth wave, driven by the delta variant and low vaccination rates, leading to rising figures. Though the country has since achieved high vaccination rates, the omicron variant led to record new daily cases in 2022.

As of August 28, 2023, around 54 percent of confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) patients in South Korea were female.

In past 24 hours, N. Korea, Asia had N/A new cases, N/A deaths and N/A recoveries.

As of August 28, 2023, around 59.8 percent of the patients who died from novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in South Korea were aged 80 years or older. This was despite older people making up only a small percentage of all COVID-19 cases in South Korea. A fourth wave fueled by the delta and omicron variants led to a record rate of new daily cases in 2022, which once again began to decline in 2023.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

As of August 1, 2021, over 11.7 million coronavirus (COVID-19) tests were conducted in South Korea. South Korea succeeded in flattening the infection curve by rapidly conducting extensive tests immediately in the early stages and exported medical products and hygiene products to other countries. However, from July 2021, Korea has been dealing with a fourth wave because of the spread of the delta variant and low vaccination numbers. As of August 13, 2021, South Korea confirmed 220,182 cases of infection including 2,144 deaths.

Context

The novel coronavirus that has infected more than 79,551 people worldwide (as of time of writing this context) is spreading rapidly, and independently, in countries outside of China, including Italy, South Korea, and Iran. The viral illness is being diagnosed among hundreds of people in South Korea, Italy and Iran who have no connection to China.

Inspiration

To visualize COVID-19 spread world wide.

In Korea, the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was reported on January 21, 2020, after which the number of infected people began to increase. Intensive control measures stabilized the spread of COVID-19 in Korea. Therefore, the Korean government introduced the policy of “distancing in daily life” to support the maintenance of normal life starting on March 22, 2020. This policy provides rules and guidelines on distancing in daily life to facilitate the control of COVID-19 in Korea. “Distancing in daily life” refers to a new, sustainable way of life and social interactions that prepares society to face the possibility of long-term prevalence of COVID-19. These guidelines aim to achieve the goal of infection prevention and containment, while sustaining people’s everyday life, economic, and social activities. All members of society and communities are called upon to fulfill their respective responsibilities to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and to safeguard everyone’s health and well-being. Five key rules govern personal distancing in daily life: stay home for 3–4 days if you feel unwell; keep a distance of 2 arms’ length from others; wash your hands for 30 seconds and cough or sneeze into your sleeve; ventilate spaces at least twice a day and disinfect regularly; and stay connected while physically distancing. Collective distancing in daily life for communities and organizations is supported by these 5 key rules, and detailed guidelines are set out for different types of facilities. All individuals and communities are obliged to abide by these rules and guidelines for distancing as part of daily life

As of August 28, 2023, around 50.6 percent of patients who died from novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in South Korea were female. During the same time period, women also made up the larger share of COVID-19 diagnoses in South Korea.

The number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-positive cases has increased in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Identification and monitoring of new mutations in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are extremely important to fighting the global pandemic. We report a breakout of the B.1.620 lineage, harboring the E484 mutation in the virus spike protein in a general hospital on Jeju Island. A cluster of cases was detected between August 4 and September 10, 2021, involving 20 patients positive for COVID-19 of 286 individuals exposed to the virus, comprising hospital patients, staff, and caregivers. We analyzed the epidemiological characteristics and spike proteins mutation sites using Sanger sequencing and phylogenetic analysis on these 20 patients. By analyzing genomic variance, it was confirmed that 12 of the confirmed patients harbored the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.620 lineage. The breakthrough rate of infection was 2% in fully vaccinated individuals among these patients. Next clade analysis revealed that these SARS-CoV-2 genomes belong to clade 20A. This is the first reported case of SARS-CoV-2 sub-lineage B.1.620, although the B.1.617.2 lineage has prevailed in August and September in Jeju, which has a geographical advantage of being an island. We reaffirm that monitoring the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants with characteristic features is indispensable for controlling COVID-19 outbreaks.
