South Korea has reported 27 new cases of coronavirus in the past 24 hours.

Figures released by South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday brought national figures to 10,936 cases and 258 deaths. At least 1,138 infections have been linked to international arrivals, but such cases have declined after the country strengthened border controls in April, enforcing two-week quarantines on all passengers coming from abroad.

The recent transmissions linked to club-goers have alarmed a country that had eased up on social distancing and scheduled reopening of schools, which was pushed back by a week to May 20.

The mayor of South Korea, Park Won-soon, capital of Seoul says the number of recent coronavirus cases linked to the city’s clubs and other nightspots has surpassed 100.

Tuesday came from Seoul, which is requesting that anyone who visited any clubs or bars in the Itaewon entertainment district between April 24 and May 6 get tested for COVID-19.
