SEOUL - About a quarter of South Korea's medical clinics closed on Friday for a one-day strike in protest at government plans to train new doctors, as the country reported the highest number of domestic coronavirus cases since the end of March.

But the Korean Medical Association , which helped organise the protest, says the country already has more than enough physicians. The strike comes as South Korea on Friday reported 103 new coronavirus cases, of which 85 were domestic, the most locally transmitted cases since March 31, the Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said.
