The cumulative number of confirmed cases at the plastic manufacturing plant in Namyangju increased to 123. An infected person left not only this factory but also other factories in the industrial complex. There are still concerns about further spread. Let’s find out more news and links to sites. Reporter Park Hee-jae! Did the number of confirmed cases increase? Yes, the cumulative number of confirmed plant-related cases here has risen to 123. Since yesterday eight more people have been confirmed. There are 4 factory workers here, 3 family members of the confirmed person and 1 worker in the nearby factories, and the remaining 200 people who did not receive the tests in the health centers near their homes today and the results will be available from the evening. . Other factory workers have also been confirmed to be infected, raising concerns about further spread. By the way, the confirmed and negative workers are gathered in the bedroom? Yes, 76 confirmed workers here are gathered in the bedroom of the building behind me. The foreign workers who tested negative have not found a place to isolate themselves. So, we are quarantined together in the bedroom here where the confirmed person is. There is a risk of increased infection among workers who have tested negative because there are bathrooms in bedrooms and in public spaces. The local government that has jurisdiction plans to transfer the confirmed cases abroad today. Is there a possibility of spreading the infection outside the industrial complex? Yes it is. In particular, the first confirmed case was confirmed on the 13th, but the notification was not made until the 15th, two days later. The health authorities explained that there was some delay in the process of transferring the confirmation information from the clinic where the test was performed to Yongsan-gu and from Yongsan-gu to Namyangju. In addition, it was found that the confirmed patient went abroad for two days, although self-isolation is the beginning before receiving the confirmation notification. It is known that on the day the diagnosis was made it was a house in Yongsan-gu, and the next day, he passed a market in the same area and then moved to the dormitory in Namyangju by public transport. It is urgent to identify the contact person. Also, it is known that during the Lunar New Year holidays, factory workers left the dormitory and traveled through downtown Namyangju and Itaewon, Seoul. Quarantine authorities are currently employing more than 10 epidemiological investigators to understand the movement of other confirmed cases.
