Yes, the number of cumulative confirmed cases related to the Asan plant of the cricket boiler is close to 160.

Family members and acquaintances in their hometowns that the employees of this factory contacted during the Lunar New Year holidays are receiving positive tests one after another.

Infected people are emerging from Daegu, Gyeongbuk and Gangwon-do, Daejeon, Busan, and Sejong.

In Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, two additional confirmed cases related to the Asan plant occurred today.

Community infections that the quarantine authorities were concerned about became a reality.

The problem is that we can’t predict how far the’nth infection’ chain will spread.

Asan City, Chungnam, is managing 260 self-quarantine personnel in connection with this group infection on a one-to-one basis with dedicated public officials.

In addition, as more than 20 foreigners were identified among the confirmed cases, temporary screening clinics were installed and operated in the offices of three industrial complexes in the region.

In Gwangju, three additional corona confirmed cases occurred at Samsung Electronics’ Gwangju business site, a large business site.

The infection was confirmed in a group examination, and these are co-workers of the confirmed person who tested positive one day earlier.

As the corona test has not yet finished, there is a possibility that additional confirmed cases remain.

In Jeonnam, there are confirmed cases from various cities and counties.

According to Jeollanam-do, there were 59 confirmed cases in the region as of February this year, but the number of confirmed cases has rapidly increased to 43 since the Lunar New Year holiday.
