New COVID-19 cases bounced back to above 10,000 for Monday due to increased testing following the weekend, amid eased antivirus curbs.

The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) reported 17,191 infections, including 43 from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 18,103,638.

The daily caseload rebounded from the 6,139 cases reported for Sunday as the count tends to fall over the weekend due to fewer tests before rising toward the end of the week.

Sunday's tally was the lowest since the 5,804 reported Jan. 19 in a steady downward trend in new infections in recent months after daily cases soared to over 621,000 in mid-March with the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

The country added nine deaths, bringing the total caseload to 24,176 for a fatality rate of 0.13 percent, while the number of critically ill patients rose by two to 180, the KDCA said. (Yonhap)
