A new infectious coronavirus disease (Corona19) confirmed by the Itaewon Club in Seoul has surpassed 100 people across the country within six days of the first occurrence on Day 6.

Quarantine Authority “Itaewon Collective Infection Route, possibility of multiple locations, not a single location”
Realization of ‘silent spread’ in the community … Hongdae pub bookstore also confirmed
“Premature eradication of anti-risk facilities in high-risk facilities … a shame”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the 12 and each local government, the number of confirmed patients crown19 of the Itaewon Club was 108 at 6 pm a day. With 68 in Seoul, 24 in Gyeonggi and 7 in Incheon, 91% of all confirmed patients are concentrated in the metropolitan area. Others include 5 Chungbuk, 1 Jeonbuk, 2 Busan, and 1 Jeju.

Quarantine officials are particularly considering the possibility that the group’s path of infection is not one, but several. Rather than trigger the spread of the Itaewon club, the first patient, “patient Yongin 66” (29-year-old man), said the participant exploded through a closed club during the golden holidays as the “silent radio wave “progressed in the community.

Kwon Joon-wook, the deputy director of the Central Quarantine and Countermeasures Center, confirmed that two people visited different clubs in addition to the club that patient Yongin 66 attended during this day’s regular briefing. I am considered to have it. He said: “Perhaps, due to the silent expansion of the community and elsewhere before, a dense environment was eventually created on April 24 (at Club Itaewon), and the Corona19 virus invaded there, thus increasing the number of patients. I can give it. April 24 was the first weekend since the end of the strengthened social distance (April 19). Quarantine authorities only consider patient Yongin 66 to be the first to develop symptoms like the earliest to date, and you also have the possibility that asymptomatic patients are ahead.

In addition to the three Itaewon clubs (King, Queen, and Trunk) visited by patient 66, those who visited other clubs (Soho, Him, The Fountain) and the clubs (Made) in Seodaemun-gu were all positive and the authorities had an emergency. State. In addition, the 20-year-old men who visited Itaewon Pink Elephant (April 24) and Pistil (May 5) were also confirmed. Consequently, the quarantine authorities expanded the scope of the epidemiological investigation to the entire Itaewon entertainment facility and extended the period from May 24 to 6.

According to the Kwon deputy general manager, the collective infection of Itaewon can occur at any time if there has been a “silent spread” to the community before the holidays. Corona 19 is a highly contagious virus even when it is asymptomatic or mild.

“The second and third Itaewon can come out,” said Professor Byung-Yul Jeon of Cha University of Medicine (former director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Said. Professor Jeon said: “Last February, there were several patients with symptoms similar to ’31 patients’ during the group infection at Sincheonji Church in Daegu.” said.

Professor Ki-Seok Jeong, from the department of respiratory medicine at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, said: “If you try it in Hongdae as well as Itaewon, you will see a proton.” Not that there is a single source of infection. “It’s just a coincidence because someone who didn’t do the tests did it.”

The Itaewon club group infection is very likely to trigger as in the case of the Shincheonji incident, but the dynamics and follow-up environment are worse. During the Sincheonji incident, this was a specific religious group and related individuals could be quickly recruited, but the epidemiological investigation is very likely to be carried out slowly as there is no separate list. Although the quarantine authorities were fully aware of Corona 19’s potential for silent transmission, some noted whether clubs, religious institutions, and multi-density facilities were included too soon in mitigating street categories or in the area of ​​life.

Professor Jeon said: “There were many voices pointing to the ease of quarantine for high-risk facilities, but the excessive part is unfortunate.” Even now, there is a need to strengthen access control to entertainment facilities such as clubs indefinitely. “” Younger people are especially asymptomatic, so they can become “silent propagators” who carry the virus without their knowledge”.

As of 12:00 noon on the day, 73 of the confirmed Itaewon club students visited the club and confirmed, and 29 extended to family, acquaintances and colleagues. Secondary infection is approximately 1 in 3 minutes. As the 20-year-old grandson transmitted the virus to his 80-year-old grandmother, secondary infection in the elderly is a scene of particular concern to quarantine authorities.
