Bugok Nursing Hospital is a week since the first confirmed patient came out.

How many people have been found infected so far?

As group infection was confirmed, the total number of confirmed patients related to Bugok Nursing Hospital was isolated from the same group until yesterday.

Here, there are 60 patients, 18 employees, and 3 contacts.

Bugok Nursing Hospital has patients in the 2nd ward on the 2nd floor and the 3rd ward on the 3rd floor.

Until now, the ward where patients came from is ward 3, and the staff is also a worker in the ward.

There was a concern about infection as the patient and staff in Ward 2 did not have contact points with the patient and staff in Ward 3, but infection has not been confirmed in Ward 2.

In Busan, the number of confirmed patients related to the Gamcheon Branch of the Hangunun Union increased to 41.

It has 25 employees and 16 contacts, including family members.

Members of the Gamcheon Branch of the Port Transport Union are mainly workers who unload and unload refrigeration carriers in Russia.

It is unclear whether the contagion of the stevedoring workers originated from Russian ships or whether the virus spread in the community.

The quarantine authorities commissioned the virus gene analysis, and it will take up to a month for the results to come out.

As group infections emerged one after another, the number of weekly confirmed patients in Busan as of the 28th increased to an average of 30.8 per day.

The Infection Reproduction Index in Busan also soared from 0.65 to 1.14 in one week.

The city of Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, has issued an administrative order that requires more than one person to undergo diagnostic tests per household.

How many patients have you identified so far?

[기자]

We found 25 asymptomatic patients.

On the 25th, Mayor of Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Lee Kang-deok issued an administrative order to have one or more people undergo diagnostic tests.

Excluding households that have already been tested, there were 180,000 households.

It has been counted that 100,000 people have been tested so far.

Pohang City is encouraging diagnostic tests for households that have not yet been tested because large-scale tests are considered effective.

In addition, it was decided to extend the testing period to February 4 and significantly increase the sample team from 44 teams to 118 teams.

In Gwangju, 12 out of 17 additional confirmed patients were confirmed as related cases yesterday as the spread around adult entertainment rooms continued.

There were 30 related cumulative confirmed patients, and one from Jeonnam.

On the other hand, in relation to Gwangju Antioch Church and TCS International School, there was only one person at a time, and the spreading trend slowed.
