Yes, this time, the confirmed cases were in the Cheorwon and Hwacheon military units in Gangwon-do.

All 33 people were confirmed as confirmed, 32 in Cheorwon and 1 in Hwacheon.

After a confirmed case last week, I was positive in the process of conducting a full investigation.

Among the confirmed cases, 7 executives and 26 soldiers are conducting diagnostic tests for all members of the troops while monitoring the movement of the troops.

Hwacheon military units were classified as civilian contacts and Cheorwon military units are believed to have been infected by confirmed individuals within the unit.

The Defense Ministry explained the background of the many confirmations, saying it knows that the work of the confirmed was diverse.

Subsequently, although there have been a number of confirmed cases, they have not yet reviewed the full control and said they will continue to distance themselves from the government.

Previously, the Ministry of National Defense issued a second phase of preventive distancing for military units in the metropolitan area and Gangwon-do, taking measures such as waiting for accommodation after work.

In particular, it is an unusual situation for a confirmed case with an unclear route of infection to appear.

Previously, there were confirmed cases with an unclear infection route in the Pocheon, Paju and Eumseong military units, but the problem is that it is difficult to take preventive measures.

Along with this, concern grows as successive confirmations occur from executives who frequently enter outside the unit.

Earlier, Defense Minister Seo-wook requested that soldiers be alert to the occurrence of confirmed cases, such as urging soldiers to wear masks in the bedroom, but the size of confirmed cases is not decreasing.

The Defense Ministry said that to the extent that the social distancing of the metropolitan area rises to the second stage as of tomorrow, the military leave for the units subject to the second stage may be restricted in the opinion of the commander.

To date, there are 263 confirmed cumulative cases of corona19 in the military, of which 167 have been cured and 96 are in treatment.
