© News1When 36 confirmed coronavirus (Corona 19) infections flooded a military base located in Naechon-myeon, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, voices reminiscent of the nightmare of the mass infection in early May and early August.
This is due to concerns that long vacations will end and small group infections will break out in unexpected places and spread across the country. In 2-3 days, the outline of whether such a prospect will stop at a climax is expected to emerge.
◇ The first infection of a soldier in the Pocheon military base → accumulated 36 people … Possibility of external entry
The Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) (hereinafter Bang Dae-bon) announced that at 12 noon on the 5th, there were 36 accumulated confirmed cases of corona19 in Pocheon’s military units. After the first infection of a soldier living in the unit, 35 more people were infected. Of the 36 infected, 33 were in bed and the remaining 3 were at the executive level. Quarantine authorities are in the process of completing the first investigation, but have yet to find a clear route of infection. Additional research is needed for those who have been left out of the research, such as vacationers. A group infection occurred in a military unit where the exit of the unit was controlled, but three soldiers who could leave were also infected. Currently, quarantine authorities and the military are paying attention to Mr. A. Mr. A lives in an off-campus dormitory and went to and from campus during Chuseok vacations. It was investigated that he visited Seoul on the 26th and 27th of last month.
Considering the fact that two military personnel were included in the collective infection of the Itaewon Club in Seoul, which spread like an epidemic nationwide in early May, it is difficult to alleviate it. In early May, the military issued guidelines to restrict departures in the second-stage social distancing situation. However, a sergeant from the Cyber Operations Command and a captain from the Army direct division visited the Itaewon Club, became infected with Corona 19 and caused an additional spread to 10 people.
Although he was not an executive, Corona 19 was introduced to the Pocheon military base through an outside instructor in July, resulting in a group infection of 22 people, including 19 soldiers. “The first person confirmed was a soldier in the unit, but there was an executive among the confirmed patients through additional testing,” said Kwak-jin, head of the patient management team, Dae-bon Bang. “We are investigating the path of infection by linking this.”
Despite the outbreak of group infection in a controlled space called a military base, voices of concern about the recurrence arose, as in May and August, due to the widespread spread of Corona 19. In any case, if the external input is true, suggests that a “silent propagation” has occurred outside the quarantine network.
◇ Medium writing “I will do less than in August” … Jung Eun-kyung said, “You must not forget the August fashion.”
As soon as the holidays ended in late April and early May, a group infection broke out at the Itaewon club in Seoul. The exit was a confirmed person from ‘Yongin City No. 66’ who came to the Itaewon Club in the early morning of May 6. In August, the number of confirmed patients saw a sharp increase after the Sarangjeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul and downtown Seoul on August 15.
The daily confirmed case flow chart at 0 o’clock increased from May 1, May 6, to May 17, 8, 24 to 9, and 34 to 10. Subsequently, group infections broke out at the Bucheon Coupang Distribution Center and continued to spread to the area metropolitan. Quarantine authorities predicted that the scale would not be large without excluding the possibility of a recurrence. Yoon Tae-ho, head of Accident Control Headquarters, said in a briefing on the 5th: “It is difficult to predict, but people are very careful and keep a good distance from quarantine rules, and I think there will be slightly fewer cases where the number of confirmed cases has increased rapidly since August 15. ” did.
The reason the quarantine authorities made such a judgment is that the practice of walking distances performed relatively well, such as the double-digit traffic decline compared to last year’s Chuseok holidays.
According to the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (hereinafter the main script), the average daily number of people who moved from September 29 to October 4, which is the Chuseok holiday and the special quarantine period , fell 19.3% compared to last year’s Chuseok holiday. Average daily traffic volume on the expressway decreased 13.8% compared to the previous year, and congestion on the way home and Gwigyeong was similar to that of the usual weekend.
Many pointed out that in May and August, when the scale of the epidemic decreased, tensions decreased and distances became somewhat more relaxed. During the Chuseok holidays, two distance stages were applied nationwide.
Jung Eun-kyung, head of Bang Dae-bon (Disease Management Administration) headquarters, took a somewhat more conservative position than the heavy script. In a briefing on the 5th, HQ Jeong Eun-kyung said, “The reason the double-digit infection scale was maintained during the Christmas season was due to the small amount of testing.” I can’t let it go. “Then he warned:” We must not forget the situation in which the outbreak in the metropolitan area has spread to the entire country since mid-August, and there has been a lot of damage. “
Cold weather continues into the morning and evening into October, and influenza (flu) infections are expected to increase after the middle of the month. Kim Woo-ju, professor of infectious medicine at Kodae Guro Hospital, said: “There is no choice but to increase the number of people infected with Corona 19 in the fall and winter. He stressed that a countermeasure should be established beforehand. “
