The city of Seoul announced on the 8th that the number of new confirmed cases increased by 54 per day on the 7th, to a cumulative 6,326.

Only three days after the 30th of last month (52) and the last 4 (50) the number of new confirmed patients per day reached 50. In particular, the spread of Seoul is unclear as the number of confirmed cases appeared in 44 days after September 24, when 57 people occurred.

This is largely due to the dumping of 13 confirmed patients in vulnerable nursing homes to Corona 19.

First, a new group infection occurred in a nursing home for the elderly in Seongdong-gu. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, five patients, including patients a day, tested positive at a nursing home in Seongdong-gu on the 7th, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients rose to six, including one for the first time.

In addition, in relation to the existing group infection case, the Ace Hope Care Center in Dongdaemun-gu, 8 additional patients were confirmed, increasing the cumulative number of confirmed cases to 34.

The five aggregates are all residents of Seodaemun-gu, including Namgajwa 2-dong, Yeonhui-dong, Hongeun 1-dong, and Hongje 1-dong.

A Seoul official explained: “The five confirmed patients who went out the day before in a bar in Seodaemun-gu are currently linked to the ‘Gangnam-gu gym’ and are investigating the detailed relevance.”

In addition, 5 people related to the Yeoksam station in Gangnam-gu increased, 4 people related to the Seocho-gu building, 1 related to the Gangseo-gu insurance company, 1 related to the music lessons in Seoul and 1 related to the medical companies in Yongsan-gu, respectively.

Among the confirmed cases on this day, 14 patients (26.9%) of whom the path of infection was unknown were double digits.

Seoul The daily average of confirmed cases in the week of 38.9, the increase is more pronounced

As the number of new confirmed cases increases, the anxiety of quarantine authorities and citizens has not diminished. The average daily number of new confirmed cases in the last week (from November 1 to 7) was 38.9, higher than the average of the previous week (from October 25 to 31) (35.7), and the increase it was more pronounced.

Especially in this month, 25 people (1 day) → 22 people (2 days) → 42 people (3 days) → 50 people (4 days) → 40 people (5 days) → 39 people (6 days) → 54 people ( 7 days)), except on Monday (1st) and Tuesday (2nd), where the number of confirmed cases is usually small, they were between 40 and 50 people. Compared to last month, when there were around 20 or 30 people, the pattern has changed.

The number of weekday inspections increased from 2,000 to 3,000 last month to around 5,000. As the weather turns colder and the virus spreads easily, the number of citizens experiencing symptoms such as a cough and sore throat as the seasons change appears to have increased.

Furthermore, whether or not the effect of ‘Halloween Day (October 31)’ will appear, when young people flock to clubs and pubs, is also a key issue. Although group infections around Halloween have not been confirmed, considering that the maximum incubation period is two weeks, it is expected to keep an eye on it until next week.
