According to the city of Daejeon on the 1st, three people, including Congressman Hwang, the mayor of Yeomjeon, and businesswomen, ate dinner at a restaurant in Jung-gu, Daejeon on the 26th. At this time, Congressman Hwang and businesswomen sat side by side, and the salt field market was sitting across from the businesswomen. They are said to have eaten with accompaniment for over an hour.
Among them, former Mayor Yeom Hong-cheol was admitted to Chungnam National University Hospital after being confirmed on the 31st. The salt jeon market is said to be experiencing mild symptoms. Another confirmed case, the businesswomen, has had sore throat symptoms since the 25th, the quarantine authorities explained. This businesswomen was also admitted to the Daejeon Veterans Hospital after being diagnosed with infection on the same day, and the path of infection is still unknown.
Congressman Hwang was judged negative, but he will be self-contained until the 9th according to the guidelines of health authorities. Hwang attended the first meeting of the Democratic Party’s Prosecutors’ Reform Special Committee on the 29th.
Experts who saw the negative test result of Rep. Hwang Unha said, “It seems to be a case that once again showed that the meal is susceptible to infection.”
Professor Lee Moo-sik of Daejeon Konyang University Hospital said, “Because the droplets (saliva) that propagate Corona 19 are mainly transmitted to the front, it may be more dangerous to talk face to face. I made a structure to sit down and eat.” Professor Lee added, “When we talk, we take into account that the droplets bounce about 2m, so we keep our distance.”
An official in Daejeon said, “It is dangerous to have a meal or talk to each other, but I can never be relieved just because I am sitting next to them.” Even if it is negative for the first time, it may be positive for Corona 19 before self-isolation. “The direction of the splash may change due to the influence.”
