Additional confirmations have increased, right?

[기자]

This morning, the number of confirmed cases rose to 29 in two days, as a patient, a caregiver and a nurse were also confirmed.

Additionally, concerns mount as diffusion to other layers is confirmed.

Until yesterday, the diagnosis was concentrated on the 5th floor, where the patient and guardian who presented symptoms on the 5th was also positive, today, the patient on the 3rd floor and the spread to other layers was confirmed.

Since yesterday, quarantine authorities have been testing 560 people, including 180 patients, hospital staff, and visitors.

The number of test subjects is expected to increase as the research progresses.

The hospital has now stopped all outpatient treatments and implemented a cohort quarantine, barring all access to about 100 patients, including patients and medical staff in the fifth-floor room where confirmed cases are concentrated.

As there were also confirmed cases on the third floor, quarantine authorities are considering whether to expand the cohort quarantine room to the third floor.

Quarantine authorities requested that if you visit Master Plus Hospital here from the 27th of last month to the 5th of last month, you should be tested at a public health center or screening clinic regardless of symptoms.

They are not just hospitals.

Sporadic infections in your family or neighbors?

[기자]

After the Chuseok holiday, the number of confirmed cases exceeded triple digits per day yesterday, as group infection cases continued to appear across the country.

As feared, the infection among relatives and neighbors who met during the Christmas season has become a reality.

In particular, in Jeongeup-si, Jeollabuk-do, a woman in her 30s tested positive for the first time, and then seven children were confirmed one after another, including her children, mother-in-law and father-in-law.

In addition, four more neighbors have been confirmed and there is concern about the spread.

To prevent further spread, the quarantine authorities implemented cohort quarantine measures for the village residents, which in effect closed the village.

In Daejeon, at a family meal gathering on the first day of vacation, a high school girl, an uncle, and a grandmother successively tested positive, and two contacts with this grandmother were also confirmed.

In addition, one more person was confirmed at the Pocheon military base in Gyeonggi-do, all of which increased to 37, and the number of confirmed cases related to the Busan Green Core bathtub became 15.

In this regard, quarantine authorities said that the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak increased due to the aftermath of movements and gatherings during the Chuseok holiday, and urged more attention, such as compliance with personal quarantine guidelines.
