270 sailors on the anti-piracy navy destroyer who were flown home from Africa on Tuesday after being infected with Covid-19, were among the reasons for a sudden increase in numbers.
Stricter restrictions in the capital Seoul and neighbouring areas are being considered by authorities as small clusters continue to emerge nationwide.
This is the highest level since the country's first Covid-19 wave erupted from a church in the southeastern city of Daegu where 64.3 percent of the 1,533 cases were domestically transmitted.
However, due to the restrictions such as a ban on gatherings of more than two people after 6 p.m, the numbers for the Seoul metropolitan area have slightly dropped from more than 80 percent.
The KDCA data showed that South Korea's total infections rose to 184,103 cases with 2,063 deaths.
