With a large-scale population movement of more than 27 million people expected during the Chuseok holiday, quarantine authorities are well aware of the emergence of new confirmed cases through ‘silent spread’ after holidays. The outline of how the Chuseok holidays have affected the occurrence of new confirmed cases is expected in the second week of October.
Quarantine authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a new group infection in any form, as they experienced a large-scale group infection just after the holiday season in late April and early May, and immediately after the holidays from summer in early August.
◇ Average daily mobile population of 4.6 million people on vacation … Two returnees from Busan confirmed
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation and the Korea Transportation Institute predicted that during Chuseok’s five-day holiday period, 2.75 million people and an average of 4.6 million people would move. Compared to last year’s Chuseok holidays, an average of 6.43 million people moved daily, the number decreased by 28.5% (1.83 million), but it is a dangerous situation in the epidemic of the crown 19.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters on the 4th (hereinafter Bangdaebon), the number of new daily confirmed cases that occurred during a week from September 27 to October 3 showed a trend of ’95 → 50 → 38 → 113 → 77 → 63 → 75 ‘One day of the week had three digits and the remaining six days were two digits. However, it is difficult to guarantee whether the flow of confirmed cases will continue.
Signs of insecurity are already appearing. Cases of Corona 19 infection appear one after another in other areas outside the residence. In Busan, two returnees were confirmed for Corona 19. Seoul residents who visited Sangju village during the Chuseok holiday also tested positive.
In a regular online briefing on the 3rd, Kwon Jun-wook, head of Bang Dae-bon headquarters, said: “There are two corona19 confirmed patients among returnees or returnees through epidemiological investigation team.”
Currently, Busan shows a trend similar to that of the metropolitan area. At 0 o’clock on day 2, 18 confirmed cases emerged. Two of them are confirmed abroad. The number of confirmed cases in Busan on this day was the highest in 220 days after registering 21 on February 25, and the second-largest in history.
Then, starting at 0 am on day 3, there were 8 new confirmed cases. In Busan, there were 2 confirmed cases in Buk-gu and one in Dongnae, Haeundae, Geumjeong, Sasang, and Busanjin-gu.
Quarantine authorities predicted that considering that the Chuseok holiday is not over and more people are moving and the longest incubation period for Corona 19 is 14 days, additional cases of return home and returning visitors are confirmed. , and there will be cases of spread or infection by Corona 19 in other regions.

◇ Bang script “If you have any questions, ask” … Special attention to those who are exposed to the environment and who are dedicated to wellness facilities.
Quarantine authorities have proposed the prevention of Corona 19 infection in high-risk groups such as the elderly and underlying diseases as a top priority in quarantine activities. In particular, if the elderly who have been hospitalized in social welfare services, nursing hospitals and medical institutions are infected with Corona 19, the mortality rate (death / confirmed) may increase. People who are exposed to closed, sealed, and dense environments must also exercise caution.
These concerns are gradually becoming a reality. According to Bang Dae-bon, after the first confirmed case occurred on the 21st of last month at the Somang Community Nursing Home in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, 13 confirmed cases increased and it was classified as a new group of infection. By classification, 14 people were cumulatively confirmed, including 3 nursing home workers, 3 residents, 7 family members and acquaintances, and 1 other person.
Of the 14 infected, only 3 were admitted, but considering the fact that the workers were infected, there is a high possibility of additional confirmed cases. In addition to large-scale population migration on the way home, there is the potential for latent infection to spread throughout the country.
Latent infection refers to an unidentified infected person whose symptoms have not appeared at all, although the Corona 19 virus has penetrated the body and has begun to multiply. The problem is that it can lead to an unpredictable infection because the infected person may not know that they are infected.
The situation where a latently infected person on the Chuseok holiday transmits the virus to elderly parents with underlying or major illnesses is the worst-case scenario assumed by quarantine authorities. This is why he continued to emphasize wearing a mask even in the spin.
Kim Woo-joo, professor of infectious medicine at Kodae Guro Hospital, said: “After the holidays, there is a high possibility that the recurrence experienced in May and August will reappear.” Emphasized.
Quarantine authorities requested that workers at welfare facilities, people exposed to the environment, and visitors from their places of origin visit a screening clinic immediately after the Chuseok holiday if they had any suspicious symptoms. Headquarters deputy chief Kwon Joon-wook explained, “You need to undergo an examination and diagnosis immediately to block the spread of Corona 19 to the local community.”
