First, let’s look at the news about the spread of religious rallies. Are there confirmed cases across the country?

[기자]

Yes it is.

In addition to Jeonju, Gunsan, and Iksan, the pastors and church members were confirmed one after another in Daejeon.

There were 20 confirmed cases in Jeonbuk and 21 in Daejeon.

The wide range of confirmations is analyzed because the meetings in question were held in churches of the same name throughout the country.

At the end of last month, meetings were held one after another in Daejeon, Jeonju, Hoengseong, Gangwon and Hanam, Gyeonggi.

It was also found that a pastor from the Seoul area also attended this meeting.

There is also concern that the spreading trend may have spread to the community more than ten days after the religious gathering.

As such, epidemiological investigations are important and quarantine authorities are having a difficult time identifying the exact assistants.

This is because the meeting attendees at the time did not fill out the list accurately.

Additionally, attendees are reported to have not adhered well to quarantine rules, such as not sitting in a confined space or wearing a mask properly.

Among the confirmed patients who attended the meeting, there was an employee who worked in a hospital and nursing home.

Excluding these personnel, all workers, patients and residents were evaluated negatively.

Quarantine authorities, however, have quarantined patients who cannot move as much as there is the possibility of spread, and the rest are transferred to other hospitals for treatment.

Along with this, related churches are closed and additional inspections and member risk assessments are underway.

Let’s also look at the situation in Busan and Cheongju. Is the spread of entertainment establishments spreading to the local community?

[기자]

Yes it is.

The expansion of entertainment establishments in Busan has continued since quarantine authorities carried out preventive inspections of workers and users.

The number of confirmed cases related to entertainment establishments identified until yesterday was 232 people, among 50 workers, 60 users and 122 contacts.

It is a pattern of spread that is derived from workers and users of entertainment facilities to acquaintances, relatives and colleagues.

There are around 100 entertainment establishments in 7 districts, including Dong-gu, Seo-gu and Yeongdo-gu, such as pubs and karaoke bars where the confirmed person went out or visited.

The number of contacts is also in the thousands, so it seems that the proliferation trend will not abate for the moment.

Consequently, the City of Busan updates its social distancing to the second stage and mobilizes all available personnel to verify quarantine regulations and business hours of more than 4,100 entertainment establishments.

The number of confirmed cases related to entertainment establishments is increasing not only in Busan, but also in Chungbuk, such as Cheongju and Jincheon.

The Chungcheongbuk-do quarantine authorities issued an administrative order for people working at the entertainment facilities to undergo a thorough inspection.

If the violation of the quarantine rules is revealed through subsequent inspections, we will take steps such as requesting quarantine expenses along with an order to suspend the operation.
