Unfortunately, it seems that South Korea’s initial control of the disease may be fading. The country has been reporting hundreds of new infections per day every day for more than two weeks. On Saturday, the AP reported that the country had recorded 323 new cases, bringing the national caseload since the start of the health crisis in the country to 19,400. There have been 321 total deaths.
