[앵커]

After the Lunar New Year holidays, group infections have continued, mostly in large-scale workplaces and bedrooms.

Quarantine authorities are closely monitoring the situation, for example, strengthening inspections as cases of group infection continue in workplaces.

At the Hyundai Motor Jeonju plant in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, employees were confirmed one after another.

This is the second time after the massive infection outbreak in December last year.

Some of these confirmed cases have been confirmed to have visited other areas during the Lunar New Year holidays, and quarantine authorities are investigating the connection.

At the Samsung Electronics Gwangju factory, 4 employees have been confirmed and infection cases at the factory continue regardless of region.

The infection spread from the Asan plant and the Namyangju plastic manufacturing plant to the cricket kettle’s family and acquaintances.

As a result of investigation by quarantine authorities, factories were found to be vulnerable to infection.

It has become a problem that workplace ventilation is not performed properly or that foreign workers staying illegally in dormitories have been crowded into dormitories.

The Quarantine Countermeasures Headquarters, which saw the situation as unusual, began to strengthen quarantine for large-scale commercial sites.

With every local government being inspected for quarantine regulations for workplaces with fewer than 50 employees and preventive inspections for foreign workers, quarantine authorities are well aware of the spread of the infection.
