The case of Corona 19 confirmed in the Busan Joint Fish Market, the largest offshore fishery market in Korea, caused an emergency to the quarantine authorities.
In Ulsan, the number of confirmed sauna-related patients increased by 17 a day, and the quarantine authorities are investigating whether a mutant virus originating from the UK, which has a strong transmission power, has spread.

This is the Busan Joint Fish Market, the largest offshore fishery market in Korea.
Since the first confirmed patient of Corona 19 came out on the 6th, 13 people, including members of the Busan Port Transport Union and their families, have been confirmed.
The question is how long the spread will continue.
Only 500 members and 900 temporary members are subject to inspection.
The quarantine authorities self-contained 300 of these.

In Ulsan, 17 additional patients with confirmed sauna feet were added in one day.
Two of them used the sauna themselves, and the rest were the families of patients who were confirmed to be using the sauna.
The cumulative number of confirmed patients increased to 28.
The quarantine authorities estimate that there will be more than 2,000 people subject to sauna-related tests.
As the number of confirmed cases of sauna foot increased rapidly, Ulsan City was tested as a possibility of a mutant virus with a large transmission power.

Anseong slaughterhouse in Gyeonggi-do, where group infection occurred, has increased the number of confirmed patients nationwide to 90.
72 people were confirmed in Anseong alone, and 18 were confirmed in nearby Pyeongtaek and Osan.
The quarantine authorities found that about 20 of the confirmed cases were foreign workers and were living with them in accommodation near the slaughterhouse.
As there is a great concern about further transmission due to group life, we are focusing on identifying patient movements and contacts.
