Among visitors who returned or visited their hometown during the Chuseok holidays, two confirmed cases of Corona 19 were confirmed.
Joon-wook Kwon, deputy director of the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon), said in a briefing held today (3) at the Osong Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Chungbuk, “There are two cases Confirmed Corona 19 Among Returnees or Returnees “.
Deputy General Manager Kwon said: “At first, both cases were confirmed in Busan.”
Earlier, on the 30th of last month, the quarantine authorities of the Busan Metropolitan Government said that a returnee residing in Seoul had been confirmed.
This confirmed person was classified as a contact with a confirmed person in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and is known to have arrived at the home in Chuseok and was examined after symptoms appeared.
Assistant CEO Kwon made room for more confirmed cases in the future as the holidays continue until tomorrow.
“There are still people moving from their places of origin, and the meetings (between acquaintances and relatives) continue, and the holiday period is not over. It may be a bit premature to see that the longest incubation period for Corona 19 is 14 days, I was worried.
He added: “There is a slight lag in all the statistics (related to confirmed patients), and it takes some time to add and confirm the related content through each local government.”
Quarantine authorities are closely monitoring the situation through earlier this month, as well as the Chuseok holidays.
Taking into account the two previous experiences, such as the golden holidays in late April and early May, and the summer holidays in August, it means that after a long vacation, the number of confirmed patients has increased significantly, so never you can be alert.
Deputy Director General Kwon emphasized that the situation is being closely watched, saying: “As the Corona 19 situation has not been fully extinguished, we are concerned that there will be another explosive surge due to the Chuseok holiday.”
He added: “We plan to carefully watch the national Corona 19 outbreak, especially not only in the metropolitan area, but also by region during the new week after the Christmas season.”
