Korea reported a new high of 90,443 cases Wednesday; gov't to declare new quarantine rules Friday
한국 수요일 90,443명 신규 확진으로 신기록; 정부는 금요일 새 방역 대책 발표 예정


By Ko Dong-hwan

Korea's daily new COVID-19 infections will continue on an upward trajectory for a while and are highly likely to peak in the weeks to come, some experts forecast Wednesday.
한국의 코로나19 최근 당분간 일일 확진자 수가 지속적으로 상승 곡선을 그리고 있으며 수요일 전문가들은 다가올 수주간 정점을 찍을 것이라고 예상했다.


The prediction comes after 90,443 new cases were reported on Wednesday, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA).
이러한 예측은 질병관리청에 따르면 수요일 일일 확진자가 90,443명으로 기록된 것에 따랐다.


The figure jumped sharply from the previous day's 57,175. The daily figures had been below 60,000 since Feb. 10.
이 수치는 전날인 57,175명에서 급격하게 증가했다. 일일 확진자 수치는 2월 10일부터 줄곧 60,000명 미만이었다.


The KDCA predicts that the daily new infection cases will soon exceed 100,000 and could reach somewhere between 130,000 to 170,000 by the end of this month.
질병관리청은 일일 확진자 수가 곧 10만명을 넘어설 것이며 이달 말까지 13만~17만 사이에 이를 수도 있다고 예측했다.

The country's total accumulated COVID-19 cases is now at 1,552,851.
한국의 코로나19 총 누적 확진자 수는 이제 1,552,851명이다.


The rising trend of infections in the country is different compared to the U.K. and the U.S., according to local newspaper JoongAng Ilbo.
한국의 증가하는 감염 추세는 영국과 미국와 비교했을 때 상이하다고 국내 신문사 중앙일보는 전했다.
