Daily COVID-19 cases dropped by some four-thousand from a day earlier, staying in the 20-thousand range for a second day on Thursday. 

According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, 25-thousand-431 infections were reported throughout Wednesday, including 53 from overseas, raising the nation’s total caseload to around 25-million-219-thousand. 

The daily tally is down by about 15-hundred from a week earlier and over three-thousand from two weeks ago.

Jung Ki-suck, the head of the national advisory committee for the infectious disease crisis response, warned that the nation will likely see a resurgence in early December after leveling off at around 20-thousand. 

The number of seriously or critically ill patients is up by six from the previous day to 249.
