[전국]Double digits after 7 months in Gyeongbuk … ‘Three Sisters’ Meeting’ is the link

[앵커]

In Gyeongbuk, where the Corona 19 infection case was kept quiet, the number of confirmed cases skyrocketed to two places in about 7 months.

Family reunions between sisters were confirmed to be the link, but an emergency occurred before the end of the year when there were many reunions.

It is an agricultural products processing company in Qingdao, Gyeongbuk.

In one day, 11 employees here tested positive for Corona 19 at once.

It’s only been 7 months since last March that a new confirmed person in Gyeongbuk showed double digits.

As a result of epidemiological investigations, the link to the infection was a family gathering in Cheongsong, North Gyeongsang Province.

Three sisters from different regions met in Cheongsong, their older sister’s home, for two days starting on the 4th.

The younger brother who lives in Cheonan attended without knowing the infection, and after that, the older sister couple and the second sister who returned home to Qingdao tested positive.

For this reason, the ‘nth group infection’ occurred in the Qingdao processing company where the second person worked.

A new person confirmed in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, also tested positive after eating with the first husband of the three sisters.

The spread pattern of Corona 19 so far has been a large-scale outbreak of a specific group focused on the metropolitan area.

However, it is an analysis of the quarantine authorities that is taking place in various groups in daily life throughout the country.

[정은경 / 중앙방역대책본부장 : 특히 여행·행사·모임 증가에 따라 가족·지인 간 집단 발생이 증가하고, 또 무증상·경증 감염자의 누적으로 지역사회 감염의 위험이 증가했습니다.]

Quarantine authorities appealed that in order to prevent infection in the community, we should refrain from various events and meetings as much as possible, and pay more attention to managing personal hygiene.
