In Seoul, the group infection caused by hunting for the disease is unusual. It has been confirmed that some confirmed patients have been to several other bars nearby. There is growing concern that the same thing as the spread from the club in Itaewon last year will not be repeated. After three days, the number of confirmed cases dropped to 300 a day, but I can’t be relieved.

Young men and women are gathered.
It is in front of Huntingpocha in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul where the outbreak of infection occurred.
Inside, I drank while dancing without wearing a mask.
Today (5th) 5 more people were confirmed.
These are 3 people who have been to this place and 2 acquaintances.
So far, there are 56 people in total.
Nine of these also went to other bars nearby.
From the 27th of last month, I visited 3 places in 6 days.
These are places only a hundred meters from the hunting pot where the confirmed person came out.
There have been no confirmed cases from nearby businesses.
The quarantine authorities revealed the name of the establishment and requested that visitors be examined.
It is similar to the group infection from the Itaewon club last May.
Even at that time, confirmed people went to various businesses to increase the size of the infection.
The city of Seoul is cracking down on whether hunting guns follow the quarantine rules.

Group infection also emerged at the children’s center in Jungnang-gu.
There are 20 people in total, including 8 teachers, 2 children, and 10 family members.
15 people were also infected in the sauna in Gangbuk-gu.
It spread to employees and users, their families and acquaintances.
Because it was in the basement, ventilation was poor, and users stayed in smoking rooms for a long time.
