There are at least 29 confirmed cases in the sauna where I am listed.
On the 2nd, since the first employee was confirmed, 28 people have been infected one after another in five days.
Since the sauna facility is located underground, it is difficult to ventilate, and factors such as staying in an enclosed space for a long time were found to have affected the spread.
In the sauna in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, 11 additional people were confirmed, and a total of 15 were confirmed.
As such, there were 24 cases of group infections related to saunas nationwide since October last year.
The quarantine authorities must guide sauna owners to wear masks in spaces other than the bath.
Users asked to refrain from talking or eating or drinking.
Additional confirmed cases continue to emerge from existing cases of group infection.
In connection with an interior company in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, 16 additional contacts were confirmed, and 30 people in total are undergoing quarantine treatment.
The total number of confirmed cases related to hunting pot tea in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul reached 69, and the number of related confirmed cases increased to 84 at the homeless shelter at Seoul Station.
There were also cases of newly identified group infections.
In a table tennis court in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, since one user was first confirmed on the 2nd, the cumulative number of confirmed cases has increased to 16.
On the 28th of last month at a church in Dobong-gu. In the process of investigating the contact of the first confirmed person, it was found that 11 people in total were confirmed after infection.
