Group infections involving foreign workers continue to be reported.
Workers living in quarantine at a chicken processing company in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do were additionally confirmed with Corona 19.
There is also a chain infection of negative glass makers.
Let’s connect reporters and look at the current situation. Reporter Lee Moon-seok!
In the second complete survey of chicken processing companies in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, did an additional double-digit number of infections come out?
[기자]
Yes, 11 additional infected people have been identified.
All of them were employees of the company and were confirmed during self-isolation.
The chicken processing company reported confirmed cases from the 28th of last month.
To this day, a total of 36 people have been tested positive, of which 34 are foreign workers.
It is believed that the infection spread while living in the same dormitory.
Jincheon-gun explained that about 80 employees who were negative in the first test were re-diagnosed, taking into account the incubation period, and found additional infected persons.
As additional infections came out from the group we live with, we are considering a third test for employees who were negative in the second test.
[앵커]
Haven’t there been cases of outbreaks in Eumseong glass manufacturers in North Chungcheong Province?
There were no additional confirmed cases today?
[기자]
Yes, no further confirmed cases have been reported today.
Until yesterday (6th), all 18 people were confirmed.
Of these, only one was Korean and 17 were foreign workers, and they also lived in the same dormitory.
As a preemptive response, Eumseong-gun conducts a thorough inspection on companies where foreign workers work.
In this process, one worker at two different companies was tested positive today.
One is a Korean and one is a foreigner. As soon as the test proceeds, the number of confirmed cases is expected to increase.
In the area of Nam-myeon, Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, a series of infections continues among villagers with frequent traffic.
Starting with a confirmed person in their twenties, an additional infection occurred through family and contacts, and a total of six were confirmed.
In an epidemiological investigation, it was reported that they went to the hospital or ate with the confirmed patient.
The original route of infection has not been identified.
