Connect with reporters. Reporter Oh Tae-in!

First, let’s look at the situation in the Gangwon area.

Did a small group infection occur in the Chuncheon area overnight?

[기자]

Yes it is.

Seven additional confirmed corona19 cases occurred in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

Quarantine authorities said seven more people have been confirmed, including five IT company employees and two local residents in Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do.

The IT company group infection was confirmed to be in contact with a confirmed patient in Seocho-gu.

Parents were included among the new confirmed cases, so an emergency was necessary to block the infection of the students.

The Gangwon Education Bureau made an emergency dismissal for all high school and kindergarten students who attended the school because two children from the confirmed case were classified as close contacts.

The city of Chuncheon decided to make an official request to the government to increase social distancing in step 1.5 as confirmed cases came out one after another.

[앵커]

In the Honam area, is the infection spreading mainly in university hospitals?

[기자]

Yes it is.

First, look at the situation in Gwangju.

Regarding Chonnam National University Hospital, confirmed patients continue to appear.

Yesterday a prisoner was confirmed in Gwangju Prison.

This prisoner may have spread through prison staff who used to come and go from Chonnam National University Hospital to work.

As a result, two employees and one prisoner have been confirmed in Gwangju Prison alone since 9.

As there are 2,000 inmates in Gwangju Prison, there is great concern about further spread.

Including the newly confirmed prisoners, there are 48 confirmed cases related to the Chonnam National University Hospital in Gwangju alone.

If the number of confirmed patients related to Chonnam National University Hospital is added to Mokpo, Jeollanam-do and Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-do, there are more than 60.

Wonkwang University Hospital in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, also continues to have confirmed cases.

Eight confirmed cases were added in Jeonbuk overnight.

To date, the number of confirmed cases related to Wonkwang University Hospital has risen to 33.

Of these, 22 were confirmed from two rooms.

There were 11 confirmed cases outside the hospital.

After Gwangju, Jeollabuk-do has been upgraded to 1.5 levels as of today.

The government determined that the situation in the Honam region was dire and decided to raise social distancing in Honam, including Jeonnam, to 1.5 levels.

[앵커]

Let’s also look at the Yeongnam area.

Even in Gyeongnam province, the propagation of radio waves has spread through family gatherings until recently. What is the current situation?

[기자]

Yes, fortunately, there were no confirmed cases in the Gyeongnam area overnight.

There were no confirmed cases overnight in the infection group that started at a social gathering in Changwon, the family-related infection group, and the Hadong school-related infection group.

There were 30 confirmed cases related to the Changwon social gathering, 8 confirmed cases related to the Jinhae family, and 29 confirmed cases related to the Hadong School.

It is said that there were no confirmed cases overnight, but there are still many people waiting for the results of the diagnostic test, so it is difficult for him to be relieved.

There were 3 confirmed cases in Busan.

One person who entered Russia and two people who had contact with existing confirmed cases were confirmed.

Four confirmed local infections were also found in Yeongju, Andong and Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
