[사회]’Group infection’ Gangseo-gu church, what was laid during the choir practice

[앵커]

Group infections are constantly occurring in the metropolitan area.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases at Seongseok Church in Gangseo-gu, Seoul reached 170, and 23 confirmed cases were also found in Songpa-gu correctional facilities.

Group infections are also occurring in various nursing facilities, so it is an emergency.

First of all, please tell us the situation of the group infection at the church.

The cumulative confirmed cases related to this church are 168 as of 0 o’clock today.

It was found that the church, with more than 1,000 members registered, holds a weekly revival meeting and practiced the choir.

This church held revival meetings four times a week for 7 weeks from mid-October to the 3rd of this month.

It was reported that nearly 100 people attended the revival meeting, which lasted from an hour to an hour and a half.

The place where the revival meeting was held was a chapel of 400 people, and it was found that ventilation was difficult because only two windows of 60 cm wide and 40 cm long could be opened.

It was also investigated that the choir practice room has a structure that is difficult to ventilate due to the small windows.

In addition, the quarantine authorities believe that cup noodles and tea were placed at the time of practice, so it is highly likely that church members took off their masks and ate together.

With more than a week since the first confirmed case was released on the 6th, cases of nth infection are also continuing, so the number of additional cases is expected to increase.

The city of Seoul has secured an additional list of members of the church and conducted tests, but it said that an additional confirmed person has occurred and is investigating the route of infection.

I’m more worried that group infections are occurring not only in the church but also in the metropolitan area.

[기자]

That’s right. Of the additional confirmed cases identified during the day yesterday, 65% are concentrated in the metropolitan area.

Group infections that occur in daily living spaces such as restaurants, workplaces, and nursing hospitals are continuing.

In Seoul, a new case of outbreak has been identified today.

At the construction site in Yongsan-gu, the number of confirmed cases increased by 12 only yesterday to 15, and the number of confirmed cases related to the Songpa-gu correctional facility was accumulated to 23.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases related to restaurants in Jongno-gu, Seoul, where the first confirmed cases occurred on the 28th of last month reached 283 so far.

The number of confirmed cases continues to increase as the infection that started here spreads to song classes and nursing homes in Suwon.

The spread of infection in nursing hospitals and nursing homes where there are many elderly people with weak immunity is a more serious situation.

In the nursing hospital in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, the cumulative confirmed number of patients reaches 117.

There were 45 more confirmed yesterday alone.

In relation to nursing homes and day care centers in Namyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, the first confirmed cases occurred on December 13, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 30 in two days.

In most cases, the mass infection occurred in a so-called 3-mild space where a large number of people were concentrated in an enclosed space and had close contact within 1m.

There were also cases where a mask was not worn in such a space.

Now that even the route is unknown, asymptomatic and latent infections are spreading throughout everyday life, so it is most important to follow daily quarantine, such as wearing a mask, without worrying about meetings with family, acquaintances, and colleagues.
