The virus infection is spreading again in Beijing, which was considered a safe zone for the new coronavirus (Corona 19). In particular, in Wangjing, an area where Koreans are concentrated in Beijing, the movement of confirmed patients has been confirmed, increasing anxiety in the Korean community.
The Beijing municipal government held a press conference on the 26th and announced that two additional new confirmed cases were confirmed between midnight and midnight on the 25th. Both reside in the Shunyi district of Beijing. It is located about 10 km from Chaoyang District, where Wangjing is located. However, one of them was discovered to be Wangjing. This is the first time that a confirmed case has been confirmed directly in Wangjing.

According to the results of an epidemiological investigation carried out by the health authorities, Jie (29), an office worker for a US company in Wangjing, has made four trips since the 14th and all have used the subway. It was on the 16th that he first noticed signs of physical abnormalities such as nausea and a sore throat. Subsequently, he went to work as Wangjing on the 17th and 21st, and was admitted to the hospital on the 24th for confirmation.
Because of this, access to the office building in Wangjing, where he attended, was also blocked from the day before. Quarantine staff inspected 2,975 people in the building and the results were all negative. However, one in 280 environmental samples in buildings tested positive for nucleic acid. Therefore, the possibility of a subsequent transmission cannot be ruled out.
At the same time, Beijing quarantine authorities investigated the close contacts of two confirmed cases and revealed that five have currently tested positive for coronavirus. These five were confirmed to be living in Sunui-gu. Being asymptomatic, they were not reflected in confirmed cases. The apartments in the Sunui area where they currently reside are also under control.

Not only Koreans, but also all residents, including Chinese. On the 22nd, a company executive in Beijing was confirmed after returning to Korea. Currently, the total number of confirmed cases in Beijing is 13.
