43 more confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do religious organizations and tutoring academies.
The city of Bucheon announced on the 10th that 39 members were confirmed for Corona 19, including 39 members of the Seungri Altar facility in Goean-dong, and 4 students and their families related to the Ohjeong Ability Training Academy in Ojeong-dong.
As a result, the cumulative confirmed cases related to the Seungri Altar and the tutoring academy increased to 96, including 53 confirmed the day before.
It is estimated that all the confirmed cases of the Seungri Altar that came out on this day were infected by sharing facilities such as Shindo dormitories.
The age range of the confirmed patients was 3 in their 40s, 12 in their 50s, 8 in their 60s, 4 in their 70s, 7 in their 80s, and 5 in their 90s.
The quarantine authorities investigated 107 of the 139 members of the Seungri Altar to find additional confirmed cases.
Of the remaining 32, 5 are scheduled to be tested locally because they are in other areas, but 27 have refused to go to the facility for a long time and are unable to connect to the phone.
The quarantine authorities decided to ask the police to confirm whether these 27 people were infected.
In addition, 46 people who have been tested negative and 2 who have not yet obtained test results are monitored as there is a possibility of being confirmed later.
There were 4 confirmed cases related to the tutoring academy added on this day, one as a student and the other 3 as a family member.
Their age range is 1 person under teens, 1 person in teens, 1 person in 40s, and 1 person in 50s.
The infection was confirmed in a total investigation of 134 students, instructors, and employees of the tutoring academy.
The quarantine authorities found out that two to three confirmed persons at the tutoring academy went to four other academies and examined 233 students and 233 instructors for fear of spreading the infection, but fortunately all of them were negative.
However, it was investigated that some of the infected natives used the soccer field of Oh Jeong-dong’s middle school, and the quarantine authorities are confirming the contact person.
The quarantine authorities have reported that there is a possibility that additional confirmed cases may occur, and while conducting an epidemiologic investigation, they are appealing to visitors to the Seungri Altar facility and the training institute building to receive a specimen test.
An official from Bucheon City said, “Although additional confirmed cases have been revealed, their epidemiological investigation is still in progress, so if there are contacts, there is a possibility that the number of related confirmed cases will increase,” he said. “We will disclose the contents as soon as the results of the epidemiological investigation are released.”
