Nine students at the Bumin campus of Busan Dong-A University, who are teaching face-to-face classes, tested positive for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and the school was turned upside down.
More than 1,000 people, including students, are expected to get in touch with them, so the possibility that the number of confirmed cases will rise further cannot be excluded. From the 14th to the second semester, Dong-A University, which offers both face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes, switched all classes to face-to-face classes from the 21st to the 4th of the following month.
The Busan City Health Authority announced on the 20th that four club members, including A’s two roommates, a student at Dong-A University, had tested positive. As a result, the number of confirmed cases related to Dong-A University increased to 9, including Mr. A and Mr. B, who were infected for the first time the day before, and one in Changwon, Gyeongnam. By region, there are 6 students from Gyeongnam, 2 from Gyeongbuk and 1 from Ulsan.
These are students who shared a dorm space with Mr. A or took classes in the same department and worked as a club. The exact route of infection for Mr. A is not yet known. In the dormitory for two, there is a bathroom in each room, but the laundry room is shared. A’s co-worker in the same room tested negative and is currently in self-restraint. Club A consists of 64 students in the same department. There were 317 students and 319 dormitory students who took classes with Mr. A, but there are known to be many duplicates. There were 6 students in dormitories in Seoul, 116 in Gyeongnam, 82 in Gyeongbuk, 64 in Ulsan, and 51 in other areas. Ahn Byung-seon, Head of Busan City Citizen Prevention Promotion Team, said: “Of the 506 contacts of Mr. A and Mr. B that were confirmed on the 19th, 302 were evaluated first and 6 they were positive and the rest negative. If students are included, the number of contacts is expected to increase. “
On the 16th and 17th, the health authorities revealed that Mr. A used the cafeteria and breweries near the Bumin-dong campus and requested that users at the same time receive consultation at the public health center.
Dong-A University decided to suspend the operation of the Bumin campus dormitory for the time being and transfer the students themselves until the 21st. Also, not only the Bumin campus, but also Seunghak (below). Access to all buildings on the Gudeok (Dongdaeshin) campus was controlled and quarantine was implemented.
Recently, in Busan, C confirmed and four people who ate at the same time in a restaurant tested positive one after another, and the health authorities launched an epidemiological investigation. This restaurant, which is a meat restaurant, is believed to have caused a serial infection in the next customer when air moved into the smoke suction pipe (duct).
C, a man in his 60s, used a meat restaurant in Busan with an acquaintance from 3:50 pm to 5:45 pm on the 6th. This acquaintance was confirmed on the 19th. In addition, a person at the table at al side, a table user 2m away and a table user 3m away (Gyeongnam) were confirmed one after another.
Busan city health authorities said: “It is estimated that Mr. C ate at the left end of the restaurant and the virus spread along with air movement into the far right pipe, causing the infection.” We are analyzing it exhaustively ”.
