It is analyzed that the pattern of group infection has also changed while the spread of quarantine authorities has grown again to the point that quarantine authorities describe it as ‘another crisis’.

Instead of a bunch of infections coming from specific institutions, sporadic small-scale infections are spreading across the country in everyday life.

Since the infection related to the Yeoksam station in Seoul has also spread to relatives, acquaintances and business contacts, the number of confirmed cases has already exceeded 30.

Do you have sporadic infections at Yeoksam Station in Seoul for more than 15 days?

[기자]

Yes it is.

The number of related confirmed cases rose to 31 as of yesterday after one of the Yeoksam Station Environmental Cleanup Centers was confirmed for the first time on 29 last month.

It cannot be said to be an explosive number, but it has been consistently confirmed for 17 days after the first confirmation.

Only three cases were confirmed by direct contact at Yeoksam station, but serial infections are occurring due to acquaintances and relatives of the confirmed person.

In particular, a person from Yeoksam station and an acquaintance of the mayor of Seongdong-gu were confirmed.

The market-related infections that started here were 11 at noon yesterday, and the number of confirmed cases from their relatives and acquaintances rose to 17.

Despite this small scale, sporadic serial infections continue throughout the country.

In the last week, there were only 34 cases of outbreaks or outbreaks reported by quarantine authorities.

Experts note that the infection pattern has changed since before.

This is because it is compared to the large-scale group infections that led to the spread, such as the Shincheonji-related infection in Daegu and Gyeongbuk that occurred in February and March and the confirmation of the Sarangjeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul in August.

In recent small cases of infection, most infections occur in everyday life, such as workplaces, schools, and gatherings, as well as in vulnerable facilities such as nursing homes.

Infected people continue to appear in various facilities and places, such as the Korea University club, the Armed Forces Welfare Group under the direct control of the Ministry of Defense in Yongsan-gu, and medical institutions in Gunpo, Gyeonggi province.

It is also noteworthy that the age range of infected people has decreased.

The proportion of young and old patients under 40 was 38% in September alone, but has recently risen to about half.

Quarantine authorities are concerned that small-scale group infections occur in about two to three people a day, and these everyday infections may be more dangerous.

It seems that Corona 19 is spreading deep into our daily lives and can turn into an explosive massive infection at any moment.

Quarantine authorities urged them to follow the rules of wearing a mask and keeping your distance even indoors, saying a severe winter could come at any moment if the tension is released.
