The spread of a new type of coronavirus infection (Corona 19) from the Club in Itaewon, Seoul has spread. On day 6, 80 suspect patients in the 1920s were identified after confirming that the suspect was the first patient infected with the club. Quarantine officials are tracking more than 5,000 people who visited five clubs in Itaewon, but more than 3,000 are still out of reach.
At the Itaewon Club in Seoul, where the 66 confirmed patients in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, had been infected with the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), a health center official in front of a club in Paldal-gu, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the afternoon of the 10th, is preventing the spread of Corona 19.

On the 11th, 6 people will be added. “To date, around 2,000 visitors have been contacted.”
According to the headquarters of the Central Center for Security and Countermeasures for Disasters on the 11th, the number of people infected with the Itaewon Club increased to 79 at 8 am on the day. The day before, it was 73 people (59 club visitors, 14 family members, acquaintances, etc.) until 8 pm, but in the meantime 6 were added. Since the 20-year-old patient in Yongin was considered positive on the day 6, the number of infected people has increased rapidly.
“The concern is that the spread of the infection has increased since the outbreak of the first confirmed Itaewon club on Day 6,” said Yoon Tae-ho, head of the Accident and Prevention Center, Accident Remediation Headquarters.
Authorities are tracking visitors to the club, but more than 3,000 still don’t believe it. “The city of Seoul obtained a list of 5,517 visitors to the Itaewon club from April 24 to May 6,” Yoon said. We will actively monitor some 3,000 people who have not yet been contacted by credit card usage checks and cooperation at the government level, such as the National Police Agency. ”
Citizens are completing a questionnaire at the Selected Clinic of the Yongsan-gu Public Health Center on the 11th, as concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona19) are due to the influence of the Club’s group infection Itaewon. Newsis
Although many are still unable to contact, Yoon said, “At first, the contact rate between the people on the list was quite low, but it continues to increase.” In addition, he explained, “Credit card inquiries are made through the Credit Association, and credit card information is released to each local government.”
Authorities urged those who visited the Itaewon area from 24 to 6 this month to have a diagnostic test regardless of symptoms. If symptoms are after self-isolation through contact classification, a test is recommended if there is a visit to the Itaewon area, regardless of whether there is contact or not.
“It is very difficult to classify contacts through precise epidemiological investigations,” Yoon said. “We continue to recommend inspections for Itaewon club and pub visits, such as dangerous facilities, regardless of symptoms.”
“If you have an infection and live in an environment where an infection is suspected, the problem may be even greater if you develop another group infection.” “Even if there are no symptoms, visit the closest screening clinic right now and be sure to ask for another diagnosis.”
In particular, authorities emphasized that there was no need to worry about the point that club visitors were reluctant to expose themselves and be passive on diagnostic tests. “The inspection is free if he says he visited the entertainment facilities in the Itaewon area, not the specific club in question.” I beg you.
“It is best for us to avoid as much as possible the spread of group outbreaks related to Itaewon,” said Tae-Ho Yoon. “If we hesitate every day, our daily life can stop for a month.” I hope those who need the test will actively respond to the test. ”
