Infections of the Corona19 group related to the Itaewon Club in Seoul are spreading more and more.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government has been trying to block the spread by revealing the anonymous inspection and transmission inspection policy.
Let’s listen to the Seoul briefing.
[박원순 / 서울시장]I will tell you about the current situation in Seoul in relation to Corona 19’s response. First of all, it is a heavy heart to convey the sad news.
One more death was caused by Corona 19 in Seoul. So far, a total of three people have lost their lives in Seoul.
The dead person is an 82-year-old man who lives in Jongno-gu. After being confirmed as Corona 19 on February 16, he was treated for a negative pressure condition, and on March 13, he received a voice trial and was isolated.
And after Corona 19 was cured, she was treated in an intensive care unit for another medical condition and eventually died of acute respiratory distress syndrome on May 8.
Even if the person who died is infected with crown19, even those who have been cured did not have the underlying disease, and the reason for worsening respiratory disease, which is the cause of death, was caused by crown19. It was the beginning of Jillbon and the city of Seoul.
We pray for the blessings of the deceased and offer deep comfort to surviving families. Below, I will tell you about the current situation of the Seoul Metropolitan City regarding Club Itaewon Infectious Disease. The total number of 119 people related to the Itaewon Club was 119 at 10 am on May 13, of whom 69 were Seoul.
The total number of confirmed people in Seoul is 708. In Seoul, Itaewon Club visitors and contacts were evaluated at 14,121. Currently, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is requesting a voluntary inspection by implementing an anonymous inspection system for a quick inspection.
At the same time, we are doing everything possible, such as contacting through the list and sending text messages to secure users of the base station.
It is fortunate that the number of inspections has increased significantly. However, there are people who have not yet been tested.
There is no time to hesitate and delay. You should visit the screening clinic as soon as possible for an exam. In addition, since most of the confirmed patients are young people between 20 and 30 years old, the radius of activity is very wide and there are many contacts.
In particular, as a result of epidemiological research, there are many places of close contact, such as karaoke and taverns, that have a high chance of spreading the infection. In fact, the local spread continues in the pubs where deaf people related to Itaewon went and in the karaoke rooms where those deaf people went.
We are very interested to see if this is another group of collective infections. Therefore, we will strictly monitor the autonomous districts to see if they comply with the order to implement quarantine regulations for similar entertainment establishments such as Hunting Pocha.
Also, places like karaoke rooms, computer rooms, and pubs where close contact is required frequently must comply with quarantine rules.
In addition to the five clubs in Itaewon that were in trouble, there were additional contributors to other clubs in Itaewon, such as Maid, Pink Elephant, and Pistil. Immediately, quarantine measures and temporary closure measures are completed to identify the contact person.
Epidemiological investigation is still ongoing. Therefore, we believe that there is a high probability that the infection was caused by a completely different link.
Of these, Club Maid is a great club with an average of approximately 1500 visitors per day. The Seoul Metropolitan Government ensures a list of visitors created by Club Maid to contact them, as well as information on access to base stations, and will be secured starting today.
As I have said many times, infectious disease is a war of speed. Above all, spontaneous testing is important. Anyone visiting the Itaewon Club from April 24 to May 6 will be promptly inspected without delay. The city of Seoul said yesterday that from April 24 to May 6 it secured a list of 1,905 people connected to cell phone base stations near five clubs in Itaewon and sent text messages.
However, about 1,210 of them were foreigners. Consequently, the Seoul Metropolitan Government immediately sent a letter in English to inform the health center that the screening clinic will inspect it. Furthermore, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, 53 of the native teachers of the Seoul schools visited Itaewon.
Of these, 6 people visited the club, all were evaluated, 4 were negative and 2 expected the results. No one has been positive yet.
Parents may be anxious that native teachers who visited Itaewon have been surveyed across the country. However, since the school has not yet opened, there is little chance of disseminating it to students.
Itaewon, where the corona19 infection occurred this time, is especially home to many foreign residents and visitors. We will guide and take steps to ensure that foreigners who have visited the club or who live nearby are actively inspected. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has been doing everything possible to ensure that there are no blind spots for foreigners.
Every time new policies and guidelines are announced, they are immediately translated into 12 languages and distributed to foreign support facilities so that foreign residents can quickly understand crown-related information. You are sharing
In addition, a total of 250,000 masks were distributed free of charge to foreigners without health insurance. In the future, we will continue to promote it by connecting with NGOs and religious organizations such as NGOs and religious organizations so that there are no blind spots for the outbreak of foreigners due to lack of information.
Furthermore, we will provide this information to each embassy so that we can more actively and systematically induce and manage prosecutors. Next, we will talk about the additional installation of a screening clinic.
Before the Itaewon Club outbreak, the average number of screenings per day in Seoul was approximately 1,000. However, since the Seoul Metropolitan Government began an anonymous inspection on May 11, the number of inspectors has increased significantly. There are around 6544 cases on the 11th and 8343 cases on the 12th.
I am convinced that this is a rebuttal that has a great effect on obtaining volunteer prosecutors and demonstrates the power of community participation and citizen participation. As the number of inspections increased, the city of Seoul immediately reinforced the screening clinic in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu yesterday.
In addition, through comprehensive demand surveys, additional support was provided to those in need. With the cooperation of the Seoul Metropolitan Medical Association, we have secured 114 volunteers and plan to immediately inject 35 people in every health center, such as Gangnam and Seocho, where demand has increased.
Due to the sudden increase in the number of inspections, we will do our best to ensure that citizens have no discomfort or difficulty in obtaining a safe and trouble-free inspection.
