As a confirmed case of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) occurs in apartments in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, there is growing concern about group apartment infection.
However, it is known that only those who contacted the security guard believed to be the first confirmed cases were infected, so the possibility of contagion to an unspecified number is low.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that a total of six people were confirmed in connection with the apartment in Gangnam-gu at the regular information session for Corona 19 held at Seoul City Hall at 11 a.m. on the 2nd.
The first confirmed case related to an apartment in Gangnam-gu was a security guard working at the apartment and it was confirmed on August 28. On August 31, two more people were confirmed, and on September 1, three more people were infected, a total of six people were infected.
The apartments where the group infection occurred are located in Gangnam-gu, and the total number of households is known to exceed 2,000. Furthermore, it was investigated as a corridor-type apartment, similar to the group infection of the apartments in Guro-gu. A Seoul city official said: “The first two residents who contacted the confirmed security guard were infected. The three people who happened next were relatives of the confirmed person, “he explained.” Unlike the Guro apartments, the possibility of group infection with an unspecified number is low. “
He said: “It was not in the same building or line as Guro-gu’s apartment, but a confirmed case came out in a different building. The probability of infection through elevators or apartment vents is low. “
In addition, he said, “there is also the surveillance post where the security guards work, so they are in a state of knowledge of the traffic route,” he said. “Currently the first route of infection is being investigated.”
The city set up a screening clinic in the apartment together with Gangnam-gu, and sent a city epidemiological investigation team and an autonomous district epidemiological investigation team. A total of 987 people were tested for apartments in Gangnam-gu, and 464 people were currently tested.
He said: “It is an urgent need to quickly identify the contact person with the security guard of the apartment.”
Park Yoo-mi, head of the city’s Citizen Health Office, said in a briefing the same day: “At first, it started in a different building with a security guard working in an apartment and a local resident. It doesn’t happen at the same time in the same vein as Guro-gu’s apartment. “
Director Park added: “The city is investigating the contact person and the path of infection according to the path of the confirmed person, including the apartment building where the confirmed person resides, the resident center, the center of wellness and nearby nurseries. “
