- The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) reported 438 new coronavirus cases as of midnight on Sunday (Nov 29), bringing the country’s total to 34,201 cases and 526 deaths.
- South Korea’s ruling party has called for the country to purchase millions of additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine after an increase in the number of infections raised concerns about the government’s existing plans.
- South Korea is already planning to secure enough doses to vaccinate 30 million people, or about 60% of the population, but Democratic Party lawmakers said they would appropriate funds to buy doses for at least 44 million people.
- Lee Nak-yon of the ruling Democratic Party said the party plans to allocate an additional 1.3 trillion won (US$1.2 billion) to next year’s budget.
- South Korea is battling one of its largest waves of coronavirus infections yet, fuelled by small outbreaks in the densely populated capital city of Seoul and surrounding areas.
