You will see a temporary screening clinic behind me.

The operation has just ended today at 6pm.

Until just a moment ago, citizens and foreign workers in the city were going to be inspected.

The health authorities conducted a full corona 19 test on foreigners in the jurisdiction.

In Dongducheon City, in two days, 88 people were diagnosed, of which 84 were identified as foreigners.

The results of the Corona 19 test on 509 people who visited the temporary screening clinic for one day on the 28th of last month came out.

The confirmed cases of this time occurred mainly in areas where foreigners live densely, and they were found to be working in Namyangju and Yangju, Bucheon and Incheon respectively.

The health authorities are currently investigating 15 epidemiological investigators, and once the basic epidemiological investigation has been completed, it is gathering the contents of what has been confirmed.

Since most of the additional confirmed cases are foreigners, an investigation is being conducted with 10 staff members who can interpret English.

Along with this, the public health center has urgently built facilities that can collect corona 19 specimens at the dyeing and leather industrial complexes in the building this afternoon, respectively.

Currently, more than 50 people have been inspected at the dyeing industry and 20 people at the leather industry.

Foreign workers are expected to be tested until Friday, the 5th.

Earlier, on the 17th of last month, about 100 foreign workers were confirmed as a bunch at the factory in Jinjeon-eup, Namyang-si, and on the 26th of last month, more than 20 foreign workers were confirmed one after another at the factory in Yangju-si.

In this regard, Dongducheon City announced that it has conducted tests on 3,966 foreigners since the 18th of last month, and that at least 1,000 people have been tested so far.

As the test is still underway, there may be additional confirmed cases.

We will deliver as soon as new news comes out.

Did the government check out foreign employment workplaces as well?

[기자]

As cases of infection related to foreign workers continued, the Ministry of Employment and Labor began a special inspection.

The target is a manufacturing business that employs 5 or more foreign workers and has a dormitory.

All were found to be over 10,000.

The policy is to establish a special inspection team at each local government office to complete the inspection within this month.

The plan is to take intensive measures, such as imposing a fine by notifying the local government if a violation of the rules was found in this inspection or if they do not comply.
