The new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) was confirmed in a cluster in the Cheonan call center in Chungnam province, so Cheonan and Asan entered the social distancing step 1.5 from this day. Inspection of compliance with quarantine standards in the workplace, such as a call center, was also noted to be inadequate due to a single verification.
The Central Defense Response Headquarters announced that at 0 o’clock on the 5th, the number of new confirmed corona 19 cases increased by 125 compared to the previous day, and the total number of confirmed cases was 27,050.

In Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, a group infection from a call center occurred the same day after group infection through a bar, and 21 confirmed cases came out.
The government reaffirmed its position to maintain the first stage at the national level even on the 7th, when the revised social distancing standards are applied. Quarantine authorities, however, applied 1.5 steps away from the day in Cheonan and Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, where group infections continue.
Regarding the fact that a reporter who covered the funeral of the late Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee was positive, there have been a total of 7 confirmed cases since the first confirmed cases on the 2nd. He is the first person confirmed. and three colleagues, a contact, two relatives and an acquaintance.
Gang-tae, the first deputy chief of the Central Headquarters for Disasters and Security Countermeasures, warned at the day’s meeting that “there is a constant massive infection in the metropolitan area, and cases of small-scale infection continue in other areas such as Busan. , Chungnam and Gyeongnam “.
Call centers with another group of infection are classified as representative high-risk workplaces because the droplets are easy to splatter and it is difficult to ensure the distance between advisers. In fact, in March, more than 100 people were confirmed for a group infection that occurred at a call center in Sindorim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Group infections were reported at Jung-gu, Gangnam-gu and Gangdong-gu call centers even after the government and local governments began conducting on-site inspections of high-risk workplaces such as call centers. calls.
The government announced that starting on the 13th, if a mask is not used in high-risk workplaces such as call centers and distribution and distribution centers, it will impose a fine even in the first stage of social distancing.

If the inspection is notified in advance, it can become famous as an on-site inspection in high-risk workplaces. An official from the US Office of Strategic Organization of the National Federation of Democratic Unions said: “There are many workplaces that do not keep distance, and said that the workload has increased due to Corona 19 even when they are used More expensive. “You, sit down.”
