Are there any confirmations related to the church?
[기자]
Yes, it is.
Churches and church-related facilities are places where group infections occur sporadically as well as nursing homes.
Infections that started at the BJT Universal Center in Sangju, Gyeongbuk, a missionary facility, are occurring in a series of places nationwide.
On the 27th and 28th of last month, an event was held in which 500 people participated, and related confirmed cases are appearing in various places.
There were also confirmed people in Busan, Gwangju, and Daejeon through people who went to the event.
In particular, in Daejeon, more than 70 confirmed cases were found in 7 churches through additional infection.
There are also confirmed cases in the mission facility in Ulsan, but the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 50.
The quarantine authorities are conducting an epidemiological investigation to see if there is any relevance, as it is a member of the same missionary corporation as the Sangju BJT Universal Center.
[앵커]
In addition to religious facilities, are there places where there are many confirmed cases?
[기자]
Yes, it is.
There were more than 100 confirmed cases of food outlets in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do.
It is a food mart in rural areas for foreigners.
Most of the foreigners using the mart are rural workers in the area.
The problem is that foreign workers working in rural areas are often in contact with co-workers living in other areas at accommodations or restaurants specializing in foreigners, and the infection is more likely to spread sporadically.
In addition, two firefighters in Chungbuk were confirmed.
They are employees of Okcheon Fire Station in Chungbuk and Dongbu Fire Station in Cheongju, respectively.
These two are confirmed cases related to the church in the Daejeon area mentioned earlier.
In Chungcheongbuk-do, confirmed firefighters were lifted from their positions, claiming that they had violated an administrative order banning meetings.
