It is the emergence of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) related to an online community gathering in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi province. The meeting participants are residents of the metropolitan area, including Uijeongbu, Namyangju, Goyang, Seongnam, and Seoul. The area is wide and has an umpteenth pattern of infection. Quarantine authorities are very tense, such as conducting an epidemiological investigation on participants and contacts.
According to the city of Uijeongbu and the quarantine authorities on the 20th, 23 members of the local online community gathered at a bar in Minrak-dong, Uijeongbu-si on the 7th to drink and go to karaoke.
These are gatherings for people born in a specific year, and their residences are extensive, including Uijeongbu, Namyangju, Goyang, Seongnam, Yongin, and Nowon-gu, Seoul.
Of these, a member residing in Yongin on the 16th was the first of the attendees to be confirmed for Corona 19.
The meeting participants were subsequently classified as contacts and diagnosed at the screening clinic where they lived, and 11 more people were confirmed, including Mr. A, who lived in Uijeongbu.
The problem is that Mr. A attends another meeting in recent days, and the number of contacts is significant and is spreading to the nth infection. Four people were confirmed, including Mr. B, who had contact with Mr. A, and Mr. C, who contacted Mr. B, received a positive test.
The reason the quarantine authorities saw the meeting as a COVID-19 outbreak and the umpteenth source of infection is that Mr. A showed symptoms such as a sore throat on the 13th, and another participant, Mr. D, who lives in Uijeongbu city, was confirmed as one of her family members. The symptoms are due to the fact that D appeared for the first time.
However, quarantine authorities explained that it is not yet clear where Mr. A. was infected.
A city official said: “There are more people than expected in community meetings as well as in contacts, so we are having difficulties in quarantine.” “Since step 1.5 of social distancing was implemented, avoid meetings and outside contacts.”
