Date May 10, 2020 Time 16:06 hrs.
Case study: rapid opening of the city, repeated pandemic Although the tests were exhaustive, there were still unexpected risks.
After easing the blockade measures for a few days, South Koreans have to worry again when they meet younger people. “Super spreader” He is a 29-year-old man who visited 5 entertainment venues in the Itaewon district of Seoul. More recently, 54 people were found. On Sunday alone, South Korea was the most infected since April 9.
Here are 15 key points that will indicate whether South Korea will have a new outbreak:
one) Jung Eun-Gyeong (Jeong Eun-kyeong), Director General of South Korea’s Department of Disease Control and Prevention, recommends that all tourists attending the 5 troublesome nightclubs in Itaewon between April 29 and May 6 come to a exam. The highest infection rate among those who go King club It was May 2
2. These clubs are King Club, Trunk Club, Club Queen AND Sulpan It is a place of entertainment for homosexuals. And by “Gay bar” Therefore, it is a topic that we will discuss at the end. Because it may be the cause of a second wave of pandemic in South Korea!
3. South Korean public health agencies estimate that there isApproximately 6,000 to 7,200 people are at risk of contracting the virus from a nightclub.At that time, initially, 54 patients who had been confirmed as infected were infected by a second person. (Secondary level) and more than 30% of confirmed patients have no symptoms
4. Some areas of South Korea are beginning to move to deal with the outbreak againGyeonggi ProvinceLocated on the outskirts of Seoul. Announcement of an order prohibiting direct contact with anyone visiting some of the entertainment venues in Itaewon and Gangnam on the above date.
5) Lee Jae-myeong (Lee Jae-myung) The provincial governor announced the ban “Group Gatherings” or all gatherings in entertainment venues such as discos and karaoke bars. As for Seoul, all entertainment venues have been closed for 1 month. Parkwon-sun (Park Won-soon) The Governor of Seoul even said that “Neglect can cause a pandemic.”
6. PresidentMunjae-inSouth Korea said the latest pandemic has to be vigilant, even in a stable state. And the same situation can happen at any time. Said “It doesn’t end until it ends” AND “We must not reduce outbreak prevention.”
7. Moon Jae In’s words that say “It doesn’t end until it ends” are somewhat vague becauseNo one can say when the outbreak will end.And will there be a second outbreak? The second wave of outbreaks was a periodic warning. Included from the World Health Organization (WHO)
8. The question is whether South Korea will have a second outbreak. The person who gave this answer was Yong-rae son (Son Young-rae), an epidemiologist at the Central Korean Disaster Management Agency, told NYT that “The second wave is inevitable”
9. Although it is inevitable But South Korea has discovered a formula to face the epidemic. That is verifying as many people as possible. Son Yong-rae said South Korea uses continuous monitoring and detection systems throughout society. In order to prevent the outbreak “Bomb” It went up as fast as hundreds or thousands of cases as it had happened.
10. In the past, South Korea received praise from around the world thatOne of the best ways to deal with the epidemic. Although there are many people who are infected and spread rapidly until the chart rushes, but due to extensive testing and response quickly allow South Korea to press the chart of the outbreak of a landscape dive
11. Son Yong-Rae hopes to curb the spread and control the size so that it is a small sprout from time to time. Hoping to control the pandemic in the size of only 20-30 cases for officials “Here I go” So let most people live normally
12. The problem is that the outbreak in Itaewon claims to be more than 50 outbreaks. In response, the South Korean formula is not applicable to all countries. Because South Korea has the potential to do a lot of testing (up to 655,000 people from the May 8 issue). And there are many inspection teams. Also, people are quite cooperative.
13. But cooperating people may not be enough. In the case of a nightclub in Itaewon, it shows that not many people can easily break their protective armor. And there are also interesting case studies of a nightclub in Itaewon, which isGay entertainment venues Do morePeople who do not dare to leave because of a request.
14. South Korean society is known to not yet accept lenders. Among the OECD industrialized countries, South Korea is the fourth most unacceptable country, at just 2.8 out of 10. Therefore, gay people are often condemned by society and remain silent without showing up.
15. The Korea Herald reports that after the Itaewon case, South Korean media join in using the term “gay club” in news reports, letting the public know that the people they are visiting at the time are the people who go to gay clubs. Or if you don’t go to the club but go to Itaewon at that time, it can be understood that going This will make thousands of people not dare to take the test.
