Ulleung residents 2nd confirmed, count 3rd confirmed
The first confirmed cases occurred in November of last year while maintaining a corona-clean area on Ulleungdo. It was a case where a fisherman (Jeju-do), who was fishing in the sea, entered Ulleungdo and was confirmed as positive for Corona 19. Then, on the 9th, A, a resident of Ulleung, was first tested positive for the Corona 19 test.
According to Ulleung-gun on the 10th, the new confirmed person on this day is a resident B, who was classified as a close contact with A, who was confirmed the day before. An official from Ulleung-gun explained, “Mr. B was classified as a close contact because it was identified as having contact with Mr. A in Ulleungdo, and as a result of conducting a virus test, it was positive.”
The Ulleung-gun side is conducting an epidemiological investigation on Mr. B and preparing for transfer to a hospital dedicated to Corona 19. There is no dedicated hospital in Ulleungdo. It is scheduled to be transferred to Pohang Medical Center, which is located on land. To this end, Ulleung-gun plans to request cooperation from the East Sea Coast Guard and use a patrol boat to move the patient to land. Mr. A, who was previously confirmed as confirmed, was also transferred to Pohang Medical Center, a dedicated hospital, and is hospitalized and treated.
A visited a hospital in Pohang with his family on the 23rd of last month and contacted a corona19 confirmed person. After returning to Ulleungdo, he was confirmed by corona 19 testing. A corona 19 virus test is in progress on residents who contacted Mr. A on Ulleungdo.
Head of the Ulleung County Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters Kim Byung-soo said, “I’m sorry for not being able to keep clean Ulleung” and “I will do my best to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.”
