On the 28th of last month, the number of confirmed corona19 at the ‘Dana Hospital’ in Dobong-gu, Seoul, where the first confirmed person came out, increased to 40.

On the day of the confirmed case, the first full test was performed on 210 workers and hospitalized patients, and then the second test was performed on 165 people excluding the confirmed person, and as a result, a group of additional confirmed patients came out.

Consequently, there were 46 cases in total.

They are all hospitalized patients.

Dana Hospital is a 200-bed specialized neuropsychiatric hospital, and quarantine authorities group the entire hospital together and perform a full examination once every three days.

It is said that no one complains of symptoms other than those confirmed to date.

At the Seoul Design High School in Mapo-gu, Seoul, 4 more people were infected with Corona 19, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 6.

The school changed all classes online on the 13th.

At the Somang Community Nursing Home in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, after the first confirmed case came out on 21 last month, an additional 13 people tested positive and the confirmed cumulative number became 14.

There have also been cases of visitors returning home or having been infected with Corona 19 who visited their hometown during the Chuseok holidays.

Only two confirmed cases so far, all of them have been confirmed in Busan.

However, quarantine authorities explained that there are still people moving from their places of origin, that the holiday period has not ended, and that the longest incubation period is 14 days, so time is needed for a accurate count.
