In Gwangju, the aftermath of a group infection from Evergreen Nursing Home continues.

Two more people were confirmed, and the number of related cases increased to 50.

Currently, the 2nd and 3rd floors of this nursing home are in the same group, or cohort, quarantined, and all inmates with negative test results have been taken to other hospitals.

The number of confirmed cases related to Gwangju Cheongsa Church also increased by two.

As a result, the cumulative confirmed number was 32.

In addition, the spread of a foreign food store in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, where the outbreak has occurred, is seldom declining.

11 more were confirmed, and the cumulative confirmed number exceeded 70.

Seven more Thais were tested positive in Cheonan, and four more were confirmed in Hongseong.

The quarantine authorities believe that the infection spread as foreigners gathered in the space on the second floor of a food store.

In Chungbuk, a chain infection from hospitals followed by a chain infection from churches is spreading.

There were 36 additional confirmed cases in Chungbuk since yesterday morning.

Goesan St. Mary’s Hospital, Eumseong Somang Hospital, and Jincheon Doeun Hospital were made into a triangular ring, and so far, close to 200 confirmed cases have occurred.

In addition, 15 confirmed cases occurred in Cheongju, of which 11 were confirmed as a serial infection from a small church.

In Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, three additional people were confirmed in connection with a farming association corporation operated by a church.

Accordingly, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 17.

The quarantine authorities say the contagion appears to have occurred through a place where congregation members working in farming unions live and eat.

A bus-related serial infection occurred in Seocheon, South Chungcheong Province.

Bus users were confirmed in Seocheon, and the contact was examined, but four confirmed people were added in one village.

The bus company’s employee was initially confirmed by a serial infection, but so far, the cumulative number of confirmed cases has increased to 13.

You said that there are temporary screening clinics installed outside the metropolitan area that conduct anonymous tests to find so-called hidden confirmed cases?

Looking at the spread of Corona 19 now, group infection in nursing homes and hospitals is also a problem, but spread between families is also serious.

Nowadays, one out of four confirmed cases is classified as a case of spread between families.

In addition, the proportion of confirmed cases of so-called’unknown infection route’, where it is unknown where and how they got coronavirus, has risen to 28%.

In a word, it means that the anxious situation of not knowing who’is infected’ has become more serious.

As a result, random tests are expanded anonymously outside the metropolitan area.

The first place it was installed is Busan.

There are 5 temporary screening and inspection stations in Busan.

Yesterday, one confirmed person was found, and by yesterday afternoon, three were confirmed here.

Gwangju City also operates a temporary screening laboratory starting today.

The operation starts from 1pm today, and it will be installed in the Gwangju City Hall Plaza

In the temporary screening laboratory, anyone can get an anonymous test for free regardless of the epidemiological relationship, such as the presence of symptoms or contact with the confirmed person.

Although the social distancing step has been strengthened, the trend of the spread of Corona 19 has not stopped, so local governments that conduct’free random anonymous tests’ through temporary screening stations are expected to continue to increase in the future.
