Long lines lined up even in the early morning.

As the infection related to the Jinju baths continued, a recommendation was made by citizens and market merchants around the baths to undergo diagnostic tests.

After the first confirmed case on the 10th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 190.

The virus has spread to Daegu as well as neighboring cities such as Hapcheon and Changwon.

It was investigated that some of the confirmed patients visited the public baths even though they were aware of the abnormal symptoms, leading to group infection.

In Geoje, the number of cumulative confirmed cases exceeded 50 due to repeated serial infections related to entertainment establishments.

Among the confirmed cases, 13 employees at large shipyards were also included.

The operation did not stop right now, but we have tried to block it in case it could lead to further infection.
