Forty-seven soldiers are reported to have visited the Itaewon Entertainment District about two days after the confirmed coronavirus infectious disease (Corona19) confirmed the visit to the Itaewon Club in Seoul.
According to 11 military officials, 47 soldiers reported from 26 to 6 last month, following instructions from the National Defense Ministry to voluntarily report soldiers who used entertainment facilities near Itaewon. The number of trained soldiers was the highest with approximately 30, and the rest were executives and soldiers. The army quarantined them and carried out a gene amplification test (PCR) to check for crown infection19.
Sergeant A of the Armed Forces Cyber Operations Command and Captain B of Yongin Lieutenant Army, Gyeonggi-do, were infected with Corona 19 when they visited the Itaewon Club, visited by the “ Yongin 66 Confirmer ”. Two contacts with Sergeant A and Captain B were also confirmed.
As the number of soldiers visiting Itaewon reached 50, and concerns about secondary infections in society have increased, some have raised the need to control the holidays. An official from the Ministry of National Defense said: “We have no Crown 19 confirmed soldiers on military leave. We only control unit vacations with confirmed cases.”
Currently, the Army Cyber Command and Yongin, Gyeonggi-do Army-led units are under vacation control. The Ministry of National Defense will monitor the holidays for approximately two weeks for troops with confirmed cases, and will monitor the situation and decide whether to extend the term.
The Ministry of National Defense has been in charge of the military service license since day 8 in line with the government’s transition to “keep a distance in life.” However, overnight stays and visits will be promoted in stages in the future, taking into account the appearance of crown-confirmed cases19 in the military and the trend of social infection.
The executives, who had been restricted in the meantime, came out normally. It was noted that some executives violated guidelines to prohibit visits to multi-dense facilities after work, and that there was a need to strengthen control of leaving after work.
