77 new people confirmed in Chuseok
The day before, 113 three digits in five days
Confirmed a returning visitor living in Seoul from Busan
Pay attention to the trend of patient appearance during Chuseok holidays
As the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which appeared to have collapsed, showed signs of rearing its head, an emergency occurred in the quarantine response during the Chuseok holiday (9.30-10.4). In September, the number of new confirmed patients per day showed a trend to gradually decrease and fell below 50, but in just one day, the number of new confirmed cases has risen again to the first 100, showing an uncomfortable movement. In this situation, in addition to the returning guests, the quarantine authorities are very tense as the procession of ‘chucance’ (a combination of Chuseok and holidays) will continue during the Christmas season. Quarantine authorities are also paying close attention that a returnee from Busan in Busan was confirmed as confirmed the day before. This is because if the number of similar cases increases, it could be a factor for Corona 19 reproliferation.
According to the Central Defense Countermeasures Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon) on the 1st, the number of new corona 19 confirmed daily in Korea the previous day was 113, and it again registered three digits in five days after the 25th of last month ( 114). That’s about three times the day before, the 29th (38 people). Since mid-September, the number of new confirmed cases has gradually decreased. It has been 7 days of two-digit numbering with around 100 people, and on the 29th of last month, two days ago, the number of new confirmed patients dropped to 30 for the first time since mid-August, when the epidemic in the metropolitan area. However, as the number of confirmed cases of local outbreaks presumed to have been infected in the community is increasing, the situation is somewhat unusual. There were 40 and 23 confirmed cases of local outbreaks between the 28th and 29th of last month, respectively, that met the first stage criteria for ‘social distancing’, ‘less than 50 local outbreaks’, but the day before it soared to 93 and it reached 100. It was close. Confirmed cases in metropolitan areas such as Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon also increased from 60 to 33 to 17 from 27 last month, breaking a gradual decline and rising to 76. In Seoul, there were 51 confirmed cases a day.
Sporadic infections of new groups in medical institutions and nursing homes are leading the spread of Corona 19. In the case of ‘Dana Hospital’, a psychiatric hospital located in Dobong-gu, Seoul, two hospitalized patients were confirmed on the 28th of the month. last, and 28 more were confirmed the day before. Only in this hospital 30 new patients were confirmed. The number of confirmed cases related to the Yemaru Day Care Center in Dobong-gu, which is known to be adjacent to Dana Hospital, also increased by 3 the day before, to a total of 30. This also reflects the eight infected people with the imperial sauna visited by a confirmed person who used the nursery. Also, regardless of the facilities and types, such as ‘Daewoo Dioville Plus’, a residential-commercial complex in Gangnam-gu (with a cumulative number of 54 people), and a kindergarten in Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do (a total of 26 people), the spread of Corona 19 infection is a pattern that continues everywhere.
Quarantine authorities are also understanding the corona 19 outbreak related to returnees. According to the City of Busan, six confirmed patients left Busan the day before, mainly from visitors to the bathhouse and attendees of the health care event, including a visitor who is returning and living in Seoul. The quarantine authorities have been urging them to refrain from visiting their hometown as much as possible, fearing the possibility of a reproliferation of Corona 19. This is because the greater the amount of population movement , the greater the risk of Corona 19 spreading. In fact, there is a precedent that the number of confirmed cases increased even after the golden holidays from late April to early May and the summer holidays from late July to mid-July. of August. Some also express concern that if Corona 19 proliferates again around this Chuseok holiday, it could be the starting point for a pandemic in the fall and winter. Park Neung-hoo, the first deputy head of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters (Minister of Health and Welfare), said at a critical script meeting the day before that he is now “ in a situation where he is not it can reduce stress. ” Emphasized. Deputy Director General Park said: “Whether the metropolitan area-centered infection will spread across the country again or whether it will be possible to return to the daily life we have been waiting for depends on our practices.” “For this Chuseok, protect the health of the family and the safety of the Corona 19 community. And asked for the continued cooperation of the people in quarantine. Yoon Tae-ho, head of Accident Control Headquarters, said in a briefing: “After reaching a peak and a maximum at the end of August, (the number of confirmed patients) continues to decline, but the highest point of Inflection of this trend is the Chuseok holidays. ” / Reporter Woo Young-tak [email protected]
