127 corona19 confirmed cases came out at an unauthorized educational facility in Daejeon run by a religious organization. First, two students were diagnosed, followed by a complete diagnostic examination of students and staff, and an additional 125 infections were identified. It is highly likely that you did not follow the quarantine rules properly while living in a dense dormitory. The bigger problem is that there were also patients in another educational facility in Gwangju, run by the religious group. There is growing concern that the third pandemic, which has been showing signs of calming little by little recently, will become a fuse for amplification again.
The average number of new confirmed cases per day for the last week is a little less than 400, and today (25th), including the group infection in Daejeon, it is expected that the mid-to-late 400 confirmed cases will be announced. From February next month, the government is planning to make a decision this week on which distance steps to apply. It seems that there will be no choice but to consider cases of group infections that do not know where and how they will erupt.
This is the first news, reporter Kang Willow.

This is IEM International School in Daejeon, where many confirmed cases came out at once.
It is an unauthorized educational facility operated by IM Mission.
Yesterday, two students of this school were confirmed in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do and Pohang, Gyeongbuk, respectively, and Daejeon City urgently examined 146 students and faculty.
An additional 125 people were tested positive by night.

In light of the results of an epidemiological investigation that a student who was first confirmed in Pohang showed symptoms such as coughing and sore throat from a week ago, it is highly likely that the quarantine regulations such as the management of beacons in the facility were not properly followed.
In Gwangju Metropolitan City, group infection occurred in IM Mission-related educational facilities.
Yesterday and yesterday, 18 people were confirmed in one church, and the quarantine authorities believe that the virus has spread in TCS International School where the children of the church members attended.

115 students and staff at a daycare center next to a church run by a confirmed congregation were subjected to full inspection.
Another infection is also a concern as boarding-type educational facilities operated by IM Mission are all over the country.
There were 415 confirmed cases from 0 o’clock yesterday to 9 p.m. Today, 400 confirmed cases are expected in the mid-to-late half.
The average number of new confirmed cases per day for the past week was 392.6, of which regional outbreaks fell to 365.3, down to the range of two steps.
