In Gwangju, a new group infection centered on the church was confirmed.

It is Bitnaeri Church in Buk-gu, Gwangju.

Since the first confirmed yesterday, 14 additional members, including church members and family members, were tested positive in the process of examining close contacts.

It has been reported that confirmed members of the church attended a worship service together from the 17th and started as a choir.

The quarantine authorities plan to determine whether or not to inspect all members after evaluating the risk of the site.

In Chungnam, confirmed cases related to the Seocheon Church and Boryeong Prayer Center continue to appear.

Five additional people, including contacts of infected people, were tested positive and the number of confirmed cases increased to 19.

Of the new confirmed cases, three were confirmed as members of another church, and one user was confirmed in the bathhouse where the previous infected person went.

In one church in Seocheon-eup, a member who had contact with an infected person in another region was tested positive for the first time on the 17th.

Since then, it has been confirmed that four more people, including church members and pastors, have been infected, and there are several confirmed cases in relation to the Boryeong Prayer Center, which the pastor visited two days before the diagnosis was confirmed.

The quarantine authorities believe that the infection spread through visitors who contacted the prayer center after the pastor was infected in a church small group on the 13th.

In Sejong, 10 family members were confirmed at once, and 6 additional people were tested positive for a screen golf practice range in Buk-gu, Daegu where group infections were confirmed.

In other regions, small-scale infections are continuing, and the situation is still unsafe.

There are still confirmed cases in hospitals in quarantine in the same group?

[기자]

Yes, this is Somang Hospital in Eumseong, Chungbuk.

After the first patient was released on the 17th of last month, the same group is being quarantined.

As a result of the total test, 5 additional patients were tested positive, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients increased to 170.

In the midst of this, the police are actively conducting an investigation into Goesan St. Mary’s Hospital, which has recently been removed from the same group quarantine.

Goesan-gun previously accused Goesan St. Mary’s Hospital of forgery of private documents and late reporting of infectious diseases to the police.

In a recent summons investigation by the police, a statement was secured that an administrative office employee randomly filled out a false statement and transferred the patient.

As soon as the police close the case, the police said they plan to send administrative staff and hospital directors to the prosecution in a disabled state.
