What is the situation at the southern prison where the confirmed yesterday was?

[기자]

There is not much movement around the prison where I am out.

All nine prisoners who were confirmed yesterday have not been transferred to the hospital, and are in separate quarantine in a single room.

When a confirmed person came out of the prison, the Ministry of Justice conducted a full-scale inspection on the staff and prisoners.

As of 8 o’clock this morning, over 1,200 employees and prisoners of Southern Prison were all negative.

About 30 employees who have not yet been tested are scheduled to undergo separate tests, and the Ministry of Justice plans to conduct a second full test.

All nine prisoners who were confirmed confirmed were found to have worked in the prison kitchen.

On the 25th of last month, the entire prison test did not show a positive test, and none of the confirmed cases have recently been outside, making it difficult to determine the route of infection.

There were also talks about whether the infection started from a prisoner who was transferred to the eastern detention center last month after being tested negative.

Health officials said that the relationship with the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul has not been confirmed and that they are investigating the exact route of infection.

Yes, yesterday, 188 people in Seoul were newly diagnosed with Corona 19.

Most of all, infections related to hunting pot tea in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul continue.

Yesterday, 24 people were newly infected, and 39 people have been confirmed so far.

The first confirmed person came out on the 29th of last month, and the infection has spread to users, employees, and acquaintances of the restaurant since then.

Seven more people were confirmed in connection with the homeless shelter at Seoul Station.

In this way, the number of confirmed cases increased to 69, including homeless people and employees.

In addition, 9 people were added to medical institutions in Gwanak-gu, and 12 people were confirmed.

At Hanyang University Hospital, 6 people were newly infected, and the number of cumulative confirmed cases is 54, and the infection continues.
