The Defense Countermeasures Headquarters announced that at 0 o’clock on the 5th, the number of new confirmed cases in Korea increased by 73 (64 outbreaks in the region, 9 entries from abroad), and the cumulative number was 24,164. . As of this month, the number of new confirmed cases has been below 100 for the fifth day. On the 30th of last month, the first day of the Chuseok holiday, 113 new confirmed cases came out, but since then it has occurred in about 60 to 70.

Looking at the current status of confirmed cases by region on this day, 49 were found in the metropolitan area, including Gyeonggi (25), Seoul (19) and Incheon (5). Busan, where 5 confirmed cases occurred on the 4th, was confirmed to be the largest among the regions excluding the metropolitan area. They were followed by Ulsan (4), Chungnam (2) and Jeonbuk (2).

As the number of new confirmed cases remains in double digits per day, health authorities predicted that the spread of infectious diseases due to the Chuseok holiday movement from mid-week to next week will be masked. Tae-ho Yoon, head of the Accident Control Headquarters, said in a regular briefing on the day: “Considering the efforts to keep people apart during the Chuseok holidays, we hope the same spread will not occur faster than after the August break. ” The proportion of cases remains around 19% and group infection continues in hospitals and nursing homes. It is too early to assess that it has returned to a situation of final calm ”.

In Busan, on the 5th, three confirmed cases were added and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 461. Confirmation 459 is the family of 412, a user of Green Core Bathhouse in Mandeok-dong, Buk-gu. The number of confirmed cases associated with 412 increased to 3, including 415 and 459. Greencore toilet-related infections increased to 15. Confirmed 461 person is the workplace contact of the 454 confirmed person (the route of the infection is not clear). Confirmed person 460 shows suspicious symptoms, undergoes an examination, is notified of confirmation, and is tracing the route of infection.

From the 29th to the 5th of last month, there were 50 new confirmed cases in Busan. The average number of new confirmed cases per day is 7.1, of which 5 cases (10%) were counted, of which it is difficult to identify the route of infection. The infectious reproductive production index rose to 1.06. If the infectious material production index is less than 1, it is interpreted as a pause. Ahn Byung-seon, head of the city’s Citizen Prevention Promotion Division, said: “As the number of cases in which the source of infection is unknown is unknown, it takes a long time from the start of the symptoms until diagnosis. The burden of epidemiological investigations is very high, “he said.” Even if you have mild symptoms, it’s best to visit a nearby public health center and get tested quickly to prevent further infection. ”

In Gyeongnam and Ulsan, there were no new confirmed cases on the 5th, so the 289 and 151 accumulated were maintained respectively. Gyeongnam-do is conducting diagnostic tests after being notified by the city of Busan of the list of contacts (25 people) in the Gyeongnam region of Busan case 444 (patients admitted to Ongene Hospital). As of that day, 21 of the evaluators tested negative and 4 are waiting for the results.
