The first confirmed cases related to Seoul’s Dongbu Detention Center, where a lot of confirmed cases came out, were found to be the employee’s family.
The cumulative number of infections in detention centers reached 214.
Before Christmas, sporadic group infections are still occurring in churches.
Let’s find out by connecting to reporters who cover the detailed news. Reporter Park Hee-jae!
Tell us about the situation on the site.
[기자]Yes, the place where I am is on the way to the civil petition room of the Dongbu Detention Center in Seoul.
Normally, it is a place where outsiders come and go, but now it is firmly closed with an iron gate.
In front of the iron door, there is a notice stating that the complaints room is temporarily closed due to the corona19 patient outbreak.
About two hours ago, a YTN camera captured a man who appears to be incarcerated at the detention center.
He also reached for the rack and shook something that looked like a towel up and down and shouted loudly, “Save me.”
Yesterday, 185 confirmed patients and 214 accumulated patients across the country were found here, and today there were no additional patients.
This is the result of a total inspection of 3,550 people between prisoners and employees.
It was a great concern to transfer these confirmed prisoners to an outside hospital for treatment.
First, it was found that the majority of confirmed patients are asymptomatic or mild, so there is currently no plan to transfer them abroad.
Confirmed patients and those in close contact were transferred to three quarantine buildings at the detention center.
Medical personnel, such as 7 doctors and 14 nurses, are supported by quarantine authorities and medical treatment continues.
The estimated route of infection was also a bit more specific.
A high school student in Songpa-gu, Seoul was confirmed on the 27th of last month.
The infection was later found to have been caused by the family of the student who worked at the detention center, another employee of the detention center, and an inmate.
Confirmed detainees were also confirmed to have gone to court across the country.
It was found that 22 people from the East District Law, 17 from the North District Law, and the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Law and the Seosan Branch of Daejeon District Law School, respectively.
The court is conducting an emergency quarantine in the court building and continues to verify contacts.
[앵커]Is the infection continuing in religious facilities?
[기자]Yes, before Christmas, cases of group infection continue to appear, centered on the church.
At a church in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, the number of confirmed cases increased by 4 and the cumulative number of infected people reached 202.
In a church in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, which was listed yesterday as a case of a new group infection, five more people were confirmed and a total of 19 people were infected.
However, the possibility of more confirmed patients cannot be ruled out, as comprehensive tests are underway for church members and pastors.
A small church in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do was also listed as a new infection case, as 13 people were confirmed yesterday.
Quarantine authorities said there are still cases of practicing the event without wearing a mask for the Christmas Thanksgiving service.
[앵커]Did you say that there are several confirmed cases in nursing homes and hospitals?
[기자]Yes, 23 more were confirmed at the nursing hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul, and 54 were confirmed.
At a nursing hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, 17 more were confirmed yesterday, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases in 10 days reached 134.
Of these, five patients were waiting to be transferred to the quarantine treatment bed, but the condition worsened and they died.
Due to the lack of isolation beds, 87 confirmed patients are still awaiting all measures.
At a nursing home in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, today a contact tested positive during self-isolation, bringing the cumulative number of confirmed cases to 39.
Quarantine authorities analyzed that of the 26 cases of recent group infections, two-thirds came from nursing homes and nursing homes.
In particular, 73% of the cases were transmitted through workers or caregivers, so we asked them to refrain from private meetings as much as possible.
So far, this is YTN Park Hee-jae in front of the East Detention Center in Seoul.
