A group of confirmed people were infected there. What is the current situation?

[기자]

There are at least 62 confirmed cases related to the construction site in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

According to data released by the city of Seoul, the number of confirmed cases will continue to rise as the number of confirmed cases in the city increases by 12 at 0 o’clock.

This building, which was planned to be used by Big Hit Entertainment, BTS’s agency, as a new building was completed with 7 floors underground and 19 floors above ground.

The office renovation was confirmed to be in progress prior to moving in.

Yongsan-gu’s office said it has not taken steps to suspend operations as all close contacts are currently in self-isolation and quarantine measures have also been completed.

Therefore, company employees who are not in close contact can now carry out construction work normally.

The first confirmed cases here came out on the 12th.

An employee of a subcontractor working in an in-house facility was infected for the first time and 61 more people were confirmed within four days.

Most of them were construction site workers and the rest were identified as relatives or acquaintances.

We work together in a closed room, and it appears that meals are delivered together in local restaurants and nearby restaurants, but it is difficult to confirm whether quarantine regulations such as wearing a mask were followed well because there is no internal CCTV.

[앵커]

Also, infections continued in various locations in the metropolitan area, right?

[기자]

If it is.

First, a group infection case occurred in a nursing hospital in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.

The first confirmed cases came out on the 14th and, as a result of the contact survey, 29 people successively tested positive and the cumulative number of confirmed cases was 30.

Among them, 17 hospital staff and caregivers and 13 hospitalized patients were confirmed.

Quarantine authorities first quarantined the same group and then screened about 200 people, including patients and staff.

Furthermore, since the infection of the workers was confirmed first, it is very likely that it was introduced from outside and the correct infection route was confirmed.

At Gangseo-gu church, after the first confirmed person came out on the 6th, 11 more were confirmed and the cumulative number was 179.

Here, as of today at 0 o’clock, the number of confirmed cases in Seoul has risen by 9, and the number of additional infections is expected to continue to rise.

The number of confirmed cases related to the Pocheon Prayer Center has also risen to 39 with 5 more people.

As restaurant expansion continues in Jongno-gu, Seoul, the number of confirmed cases is approaching 290.

As the infection began here and spreads to singing classes and nursing homes in Suwon, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise.

At 0 o’clock today, 5 additional confirmed cases were added in Seoul.

In the Paju-si military units, 13 more people were infected after the first patient came out on the 14th.

All 14 were confirmed to be soldiers.

As the spread of Corona 19 strengthens, it is difficult to predict the peak of this “third pandemic.”

The number of confirmed cases in the region has averaged 832.6 per day over the past week and has entered the scope of the 3rd stage, from 800 to 1,000 or more.

Consequently, the quarantine authorities also opened the possibility of a three-stage update to keep their distance and went on to an internal review, but the socio-economic damage is so great that they will make the decision with the greatest possible care.

In particular, in the case of Seoul, the number of new confirmed cases has reached an all-time high, and is being reviewed with the government regarding the three-stage increase in distance, and is considering additional measures and support plans.
