Seoul, Mar 7, 2021, SPA -- South Korea's daily new coronavirus cases hovered above 400 yesterday, on Saturday as sporadic cluster infections showed no signs of a letup and the rising number of travelers amid warm weather is worried to spark yet another uptick in the curve, Yonhap reported. The country reported 418 more COVID-19 cases, including 404 local infections, raising the total caseload to 92,055, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said. The daily case was slightly up from 398 reported on Friday, but down from 424 tallied on Thursday. The country added five more deaths from COVID-19, raising the total to 1,632. The fatality rate was 1.77 percent. South Korea reported record-high daily infections of 1,241 on Christmas last year, with the figure gradually falling since with some ups and downs. The number, however, has stayed stagnant recently at around 300 and 400, as cluster infections from workplaces and hospitals have lingered. --SPA 02:41 LOCAL TIME 23:41 GMT 0002 www.spa.gov.sa/w1516223
