Jinju bath-related infections exceeded 100 people?

[기자]

That’s right.

It was on the 10th that the first patient who was confirmed confirmed after going to the bathhouse in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do came out.

It’s called’Paros Health Saura’.

Since then, only 80 people who have been to this bathhouse have been confirmed.

In addition, the number of confirmed cases surpassed 100 as a series of infections continued due to family and acquaintances.

Since the first outbreak of Corona 19 last year, it is the largest outbreak of outbreaks in Gyeongnam.

The problem is that there may be more cases involved.

There is a possibility of an additional infected person coming out during self-isolation, with over 230 people identified as bathhouse users.

In addition, quarantine authorities are concerned as there are also many concerns about serial infections in contacts of more than 100 confirmed cases.

Jinju City first blocked access to 98 public bathhouses in the area.

In addition, we raised the social distancing stage to the second stage until the 28th, fearing the spread of local communities.

There is also a group infection of foreign workers?

[기자]

Yes, since a large-scale mass infection of foreign workers was confirmed at a factory in Namyangju last month, an increasing number of local governments are giving administrative orders for corona19 diagnostic tests on them.

Foreign population infections have been confirmed everywhere.

At a glass factory in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, starting on the 4th, nearly 30 foreign workers have been tested positive.

Foreign worker infections also followed in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province.

Chungcheongbuk-do started a total inspection on workplaces where foreign workers work on the 2nd.

Through this, it was confirmed that 97 foreigners were infected.

There were 188 confirmed cases in Chungcheong this month, more than half of them are foreigners.

In addition, 8 workers who arrived from overseas were infected at a waste auto parts recycling plant in Hongseong, Chungcheongnam-do.

Even in Goryeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, 10 workers who entered the country in two days were confirmed.

It is estimated that most foreign workers live in groups in dormitories or lodgings near factories or workplaces, leading to group infections easily.

The quarantine authorities will strengthen their inspections and expand inspections to foreigners working in small businesses and illegal immigrants.
