“Itaewon group infection, secondary spread can occur anywhere in the country”

Quarantine officials estimated that infection with the corona19 group at the Itaewon Club in Seoul would not be a transmission of infectious disease A (patient Yongin 66) as a single source of infection.

There are multiple cases of symptoms the same day as Yong-in, who visits the club, increasing the chance that another sporadic chain of infection is already in progress.

Kwon Joon-wook, deputy director general of the Central Defense Response Headquarters, said in a regular briefing: “It is quite possible that the group infection associated with the Itaewon Club is not due to a single spread or spread by patients first-timers, but to links in sporadic propagation “.

Kwon added: “There are other cases of symptoms on the second day of the club visit, as well as symptoms in the first patient and sometimes on the day the first patient did not visit.”

Quarantine officials were also concerned about the possibility of the Corona19 epidemic spreading around Club Itaewon.

“Everyone who visited the club from the night of April 29 until the morning of May 6 has likely been exposed to Corona 19,” said Kwon, deputy general manager. “It is true that we cannot exclude it.”

He said: “Of the 27 patients involved, 4 club members visited the community, including family and acquaintances.” He said: “There are more possibilities to spread the community in the future and more patients through other links.” I did it
