Interns and resident doctors stage a rally against the government medical policy in Seoul on Friday.

The government plans to increase the number of medical students by 4,000 over the next 10 years, which it says is necessary to be better prepared for public health crises like the coronavirus pandemic. At least 8,365 of the country’s total 33,836 medical facilities, including private clinics, had said they would stage a walkout on Friday, but the numbers could rise, Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip told a briefing.“The number of physicians per 1,000 people has increased by 3.1% annually for the past 10 years, which is 6 times greater than that of OECD average,” KMA said in a statement.

The new cases, clustered around churches and fast-food restaurants, bring the country’s tally to 14,873 infections, with 305 deaths, as of midnight Thursday.
