Coronavirus19 infection I would like to tell you about the current state of housebreaks. With 29 new confirmed cases, the cumulative total number of confirmed cases is 19.91.
Of these, 1,145 overseas entries and 90% of the Korean population. The new quarantine is 67. As a result, a total of 9,762 people have been quarantined and 969 are currently quarantined.
Unfortunately, there was a fatality. I would like to express my sincere condolences. We also comfort the families of the bereaved.
Of the 29 new confirmers today, 26 are outbreaks. Incheon was the largest with 12, followed by Gyeonggi-do with 6 and Seoul with 3.
Three foreign entries are from America, one from Bangladesh and one from Pakistan.
In particular, 20 of the 26 outbreaks related to the domestic community were associated with outbreaks of club groups, 4 from Hongdae meetings and 1 without contact with confirmers.
There is a community outbreak in Gyeonggi-do. The path of infection is currently being investigated for four confirmed persons related to the Hongdae meeting and one confirmed person in the Gyeonggi area.
To give more details about the 20 participants related to the club, there are 5 people who have visited the club and 15 people who have contacted the participant.
As of 12 o’clock today, two additional people have been confirmed, and the total number of club-related patients is 133, and contact investigations and prevention measures are underway.
By region, Seoul is the largest with 73 people, followed by Gyeonggi province with 25 and Incheon with 18. By infection, 82 people participated in the visit to the club and 51 people were contacted. By age, there are 83 people between the ages of 19 and 29.
If you visit a club, pub, etc. located in Itaewon, Seoul, before May 6 at the Central Quarantine Countermeasures headquarters, avoid going out and staying at home and contact your local public health center or 1339 to visit the screening clinic regardless of symptoms. We ask that you undergo an inspection.
In particular, many people, such as religious facilities, indoor sports facilities, educational facilities, medical facilities, and social welfare facilities, and vulnerable people are highly likely to report and diagnose infections due to the high probability of infection. and damage. We emphasize that it will be tested.
To avoid an unnecessary invasion of privacy, our quarantine countermeasures headquarters expands anonymity inspections across the country and repeatedly reveals information on the location of central quarantine countermeasures, such as the confirmed person’s route, by expanding inspections anonymous throughout the country. I did it.
Also, through today’s press release, we will inform you of the trade name, detailed address, and exposure date for 9 repeat exposure locations. Until now, we have been discouraged from disclosing personally identifiable information.
However, since sex, age, etc. are revealed. For each confirmed person, we will immediately supplement and apply current guidelines for information that is not essential to the disclosure of the travel route.
Furthermore, we request active cooperation in relation to epidemiological investigations. In the epidemiological investigation, false statements or intentional omission or concealment of the facts can result in imprisonment for not more than two years or a fine of not more than 20 million won, depending on the infectious disease prevention method.
Currently, community outbreaks in Corona 19 are increasing. We emphasize the importance of early detection through diagnosis.
Recently, as the Itaewon and Hongdae related groups are suspected, it is recommended to undergo a diagnostic test at a public health center or screening clinic until 1339 if there is fever or respiratory symptoms in close contact with an unspecified number. of people in an enclosed space, such as a club or tavern. It is absolutely necessary
When it comes to personal quarantine, all citizens are asked to stay home, keep a healthy distance between their arms, wash their hands and cough, and periodically ventilate and disinfect more than twice a day to comply with the five basic rules of personal quarantine. .
I’ll tell you. The group infection, which started at a specific local club, took about a week to meet and respond to the prevention capabilities of the central and local governments.
Extensive active epidemiological investigations and inspections are conducted while protecting personal information as much as possible. It is not yet too late for anyone involved who has not been reported or examined.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s fast. Anyone involved should still be tested. It is because we must avoid secondary and tertiary damage to ourselves, family, neighbors, and even our community.
There are not only entertainment facilities, but also infections in the community that are progressing silently, so if someone is a bit strange, anyone should suspect Corona19 and get tested.
Medical personnel also request active reports. In the epidemiological investigation, I also told you during the briefing, that you must reduce the harm caused by yourself by a true statement, and in the case of false, evasive, concealment, etc., in the epidemiological investigation according to the law , our entire society, such as imprisonment or fines or the exercise of rights of compensation. There will be strict measures to guarantee the safety of people.
We are facing a very serious hump. The Corona 19 quarantine network, which has developed as a social distance, is likely to decide whether the epidemic will continue or whether some other action will be needed.
Of course, the current situation is clearly different from the Corona 19 explosion in late February and early March. It is true that medical institutions are actively reporting, and the scale of examinations is expanding due to active examinations through screening clinics. On the epidemiological chart, it appears that Itaewon related cases and community related cases they are gradually decreasing.
We are responding early by discovering it as soon as possible and conducting follow-up investigations. However, the word we should never say when it comes to the crown’s response is insanity.
As time goes by, anti-corruption officials are also realizing the fear of Corona 19. Even in foreign countries, childhood illnesses of unknown cause, warnings of complications caused by blood clots, etc. are reported, and signs are reported. of collective outbreaks in Germany and China in the process of lifting the blockade against Corona 19. There it is.
Corona 19 may be waiting for our vacancies and vigilance. You may have recognized that you are always exposed to Corona 19 anywhere in your community.
As I told you, the world has changed due to Corona19 fashion. Each person’s life should also be different from the previous one. That behavior is the distance in life.
Last weekend, religious facilities also began to worship along with street life, and various gatherings began. If you have doubts this week, and in the future, you should also be examined and examined.
It is a terrifying and complicated virus, but as a member of the community that we all report, we will take responsibility and work together in response to Corona 19 to overcome this serious humor. That is all.
[사회자]From now on, I will have a question and answer time for journalists. I will be asked by order of Osong, Sejong, Seoul Dangsan and online. Please ask an Osong journalist.
[기자]Yonhap News. In the briefing, I said that there was a third infection in Incheon, and I think it happened in Seoul. To date, tertiary infection in the Itaewon group infection group.
I am curious to see how many more infections have been detected. So I wonder if there are still two patients, the 29-year-old confirmed patient, who is still the first patient at the time, and it is still unknown where they are infected.
[권준욱 / 중앙방역대책본부 부본부장]The second question was the date of the most recent symptoms of this epidemic on May 2, two patients, two patients. There have been no cases.
Therefore, I would like to say that so far, two cases were the first to appear on May 2.
Regarding the first question, as you said, the third wave of the community has been confirmed in Incheon, and epidemiological investigations are still ongoing. Although ongoing, it was not possible to find any basis related to the visit or the visit to Itaewon.
In this part, the relevant epidemiological investigation team will tell you that the investigation is ongoing. Also, there is additional research, so we’ll review those areas and talk more about them.
For example, a patient who was diagnosed with a physical therapist at a medical institution was identified as a confirmed patient, and I just discovered him just before preparing the briefing, but I will have an opportunity to repeat a few more details.
[사회자]We will talk about epidemiological research and statistics through the Crisis Communication Team. Reporter Newsis from Sejong, please.
[기자]This is Newsis Reporter. So it’s called Hongdae meeting. So, I’m curious to see if there are epidemiological links between people related to Hongik University pubs, and how many cases do not overlap with Dongseon or infectious agents other than Itaewon Club.
Then, in connection with risk assessment, the part about resuming operation of the facility, and today, in today’s main script, I will discuss a step-by-step approach by the National Commission for the Defense of Life next week. I’d like to think about how you would like to address this at the script level. If you have this or have any comments please let me know.
[권준욱 / 중앙방역대책본부 부본부장]You asked three things. As for the first question, as far as I know about the Hongik University pub, the five confirmers are friends and related to each other.
And how many are the second questions that are not related to the clubs in a specific area? As I said for a moment, the epidemiological investigation is still in progress, so I will organize it separately and have a chance to tell you.
As of today, I have already said that it is a situation where I was unable to confirm the visiting power of Itaewon etc. in relation to the pub in Hongdae, which I mentioned earlier.
Finally, regarding risk assessment, we have already described some criteria for assessing risk during the regular briefing at that time in relation to social distance in early May.
At that time, with discussions with experts at the time, the average number of new patients per day was less than 50, less than 5% of cases with unknown routes of infection, the total number and size of outbreaks, and the rate administered in the quarantine network was over 80%. Keep. There are a number of things that currently focus on the majority.
First of all, right now, it’s a trendy situation related to a club in a specific area, Itaewon. However, as I said at the end of the briefing, the cases directly related to Itaewon have been intact until after 10 patients per day on May 10. It is true that it seems to decrease slightly.
Also, if you look at the community outbreaks related to Club Itaewon, there are almost 9-10 cases of community outbreaks from May 8-11.
Not only is the appearance of this group of groups important, but there are also cases that are irrelevant, and as I mentioned earlier, the case of Hongdae pub without the power of Itaewon visitors or any group event in another area.
We are looking at these things carefully now, and first of all, when leaving the social distance, we consider religious and entertainment facilities as well as indoor sports facilities as facilities that could pose a significant risk.
In addition, religious facilities also started in earnest last weekend. It is also a situation where, if you have any Corona 19 activity, you should observe the monitoring of patient outbreaks during the weekend while considering the incubation period.
So because we have looked at these parts holistically, and now have an opportunity to discuss them with experts for other purposes, we can see the general occurrence and objective understanding of the indicators mentioned above, and discussions with experts.
Also, since we are planning to start high school next Wednesday, we are saying that our quarantine authorities are considering the risk assessment and opinion internally.
