On the morning of the 21st, a student is unloading his luggage in the dormitory of the Bumin campus of Dong-A University in Seo-gu, Busan. On this day, three students from Dong-A University and a total of 12 confirmed students from Dong-A University were added. Yunhap news
When Dong-A University’s Bumin campus students were confirmed to be crown 19 for three consecutive days, quarantine authorities are doing their best to understand not only the extent of the contact, but also the process in which it began. the propagation. Busan and others plan to conduct an in-depth epidemiological investigation, placing more emphasis on the fact that outdoor club gatherings rather than face-to-face classes are the leading cause of infection on campus.
According to the city of Busan on the 21st, three additional students from Dong-A University’s Bumin campus were confirmed as crown19, and the number of related cumulative patients increased from 9 the day before to 12. Notably, 11 were confirmed out of every 12 infected people were students from the same department and club. A Busan city official said: “There are cases where we attend classes together or not, but the most common thing in common is that we participate in club activities together.” This is most likely the main cause. “
11 out of 12 belong to the same department
Outside meetings are presumed to be the main cause rather than face-to-face classes
Concern for additional infections in underground bars and cafes
The Bumin campus is empty and the business district is very small.
The quarantine authorities are giving importance to this speculation that a travel club in which 11 confirmed patients from Dong-A University met abroad. This is because the meeting place was identified as a nearby campus bar or restaurant. It is difficult to continue wearing masks in pubs and restaurants, and in particular, a pub where the meeting took place is confirmed to be in the basement. Underground spaces with poor ventilation compared to the ground are generally considered highly infected by droplets. Unlike classes, quarantine authorities are struggling to identify contacts because it is difficult for the school to monitor club activities or personal gatherings.
In this situation, concerns were raised on the 21st that more infected people could leave the faculty cafeteria on site. This is because it was confirmed that three students who had been confirmed have visited the restaurant on the first floor of the building’s basement. On the 14th, 15th and 16th of past, the City of Busan recommended that if you stop by the cafeteria of the faculty member of the International Pavilion at Dong-A University Bumin Campus, you should check with the public health center.
The city of Busan made an entry list for those who entered the International Pavilion through the building’s entrance, but it was deemed difficult to grasp a target list as there was another entrance to the restaurant. Fortunately, as a result of a Busan epidemiological investigator’s visit to the site, the restaurant was in a state of being covered. A Busan city official said: “The school staff cafeteria has no other way to specifically verify access, so we decided to disclose it.” The possibility of additional confirmed cases from the faculty cafeteria with more than two entrances cannot be ruled out.
As the spread continues for the third day, the anxiety of Dong-A University students increases. In particular, there are confirmed cases without symptoms, so it is not easy to curb the tension. The city of Busan announced on the 21st that some of the 12 Dong-A University patients are asymptomatic, and those with symptoms often complain of a sore throat.
In fact, at 1 pm on the 21st, the Bumin campus of Dong-A University was seen while the students were in isolation. Some faculty and staff sometimes go to and from the international hall, but it was difficult to find students walking the campus. After the transition to non-face-to-face classes until the Chuseok vacation period, the dormitory was temporarily closed.
Due to the spread of the student infection, the business district around the Bumin campus of Dong-A University has also shrunk. As of 12 noon that day, the campus-wide Restaurant A was up and running switching to delivery and packaging sales after the campus infection spread. On the door of the restaurant, there was a notice titled “ As the number of corona19 patients has increased on campus, only delivery and packaging are available. ” It also contained a nice request to wear a mask when visiting for food after placing an order by phone or app. . Inside restaurants where only employees were left, it was often noted that the delivery man came and went to receive food.
The 24-hour restaurant on the second floor of the same building was empty with no guests, even during lunchtime. The restaurant staff, holding the fever meter to the reporters’ foreheads, said, “It seems that the Bumin-dong area has become quiet due to the students becoming infected.”
