[앵커]

Even outside the metropolitan area, 110 confirmed patients a day came out yesterday.

COVID-19 outbreaks are appearing in some areas.

We will connect with reporters and listen to detailed stories. Reporter Cha Sang-eun!

Where was the largest number of corona19 confirmed patients yesterday outside the metropolitan area?

[기자]

Yes, there were the most confirmed cases in Gyeongsangnam-do.

In total, 52 people were found to be infected.

Among them, group infections, centered on the sauna in Jinju City, are continuing.

As a result of examining 1,600 people, including the first confirmed patients, cumulatively more than 130 people have been confirmed.

Not all contacts have been tested yet, so there is a possibility that the number of infections will increase.

Most of the confirmed patients are people living in Jinju, and health officials believe that the infection has not spread to other areas.

Gyeongnam is reinforcing quarantine regulations as confirmed cases appear one after another in public baths.

All baths in the Jinju area have been ordered to prohibit gatherings.

As the spread of Corona 19 increased, Jinju City raised its social distancing to the second stage until the 28th.

[앵커]

Recently, there have been saunas and foreign infections in Chungcheongbuk-do, right?

[기자]

Yes, it is.

Since last month, there have been confirmations of foreigners in various places in the Chungbuk region.

The quarantine authorities have entered a thorough inspection on workplaces where foreign workers work since the 2nd.

There were 24,000 foreigners who were tested until the 11th.

Through this, up to 97 confirmed cases were identified.

Domestic infections, mainly in marts, workplaces, and saunas, are also biting their tails.

For this reason, the spreading trend is seldom broken.

In Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province, four additional people were confirmed related to the sauna.

As a result, the number of confirmed cases related to the sauna here has increased to 37.

After contacting a confirmed person in Seoul at the construction site, the confirmed person used the sauna.

Since then, a series of infections have been occurring mainly in saunas and visitors.
