[앵커]

The number of confirmed cases increased by 126 in one day at the eastern detention center in Seoul, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 1,000.

In Incheon nursing hospital, 36 confirmed patients came out within a day, and the hospital was quarantined in the same group.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Hong Min-ki!

Yes, please tell me the current status of the confirmation of the Seoul Eastern Detention Center.

[기자]

Yes, the quarantine authorities said that as of today (3rd) 0 o’clock, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in the eastern detention center in Seoul was 1,084.

Yesterday’s 5th total inspection confirmed 121 prisoners and an employee.

Four detainees who were transferred from here to the Gangwon North Prison were also confirmed, and 126 more were confirmed within a day.

The Ministry of Justice said it would quarantine the transporters in one room per person to prevent the spread of infections related to the Eastern Detention Center.

The eastern detention center in Seoul is spreading considerably even with a single group outbreak.

It is the third and second after 4,000 people in Shincheonji in Daegu, and it is also close to 1,176 people at Sarangjeil Church in Seoul.

Based on the results of today’s inspection, the Ministry of Justice will decide whether to conduct additional full-time inspections at the Eastern Detention Center.

With the continued spread of correctional facilities, officials such as Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun and Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae went on site inspection yesterday.

Prime Minister Chung said he was concerned about the outbreak of a large-scale group infection in correctional facilities managed by the state, and said he felt sorry for the lack of initial response.

[앵커]

Yes, a new case of group infection came out at a nursing hospital in the metropolitan area?

[기자]

Yes, nursing hospitals and nursing homes are facilities with many elderly people who are susceptible to infection, so more attention is needed.

A new outbreak of infection occurred at a nursing hospital in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, with 43 confirmed cases.

Yesterday (3rd), 7 people, including nursing care caregivers and nursing assistants, were confirmed and carried out a full test, and 36 more were infected within a day.

Incheon city plans to quarantine hospitals in the same group and move confirmed patients to nearby hospitals in turn.

Six more people were confirmed yesterday at the nursing hospital in Guro-gu, Seoul, where the outbreak has already occurred.

With 4 patients, 4 residents, and 1 worker, the cumulative confirmed number was 206.

At the Welfare Facility for the Disabled in Songpa-gu, Seoul, 11 more were confirmed since December 29, last year, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases recorded 71.

At the Icheon Logistics Center in Gyeonggi-do, 10 workers and their family and acquaintances were confirmed, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases reached nearly 100.

The quarantine authorities saw some declines today, but the uncertainty is high, and they believe that a large number of confirmed cases can come out at any time.

In addition, we have repeatedly emphasized that we will adhere to the quarantine rules so that we can reliably hold the corona 19 infection tax until this month and begin vaccination from next month.
