A large-scale COVID-19 infection occurred at Gamcheon Port in Busan, and the number of confirmed cases in Busan once again exceeded 50.
As of the afternoon of the 27th, the city of Busan announced that 52 new corona19 confirmed patients were added, and the cumulative number of patients was 2,670. The number of 50 new confirmed cases was 12 days after 59 cases came out on the 15th. Meanwhile, there were only about 20 confirmed cases in Busan a day.
Of the new confirmed cases, 17 are workers from the Gamcheon branch of the Busan Port Transport Union. The cumulative number of confirmed cases related to the Gamcheon branch of the shipping union increased to 26 (20 workers, 6 contacts). The total investigation of 342 union members in the Gamcheon branch has been completed. In addition, one additional person was confirmed as a result of the inspection of the contact person of an employee of a western port company, and the cumulative number of related confirmed cases increased to three. The company also sent employees to Gamcheon Port to carry out the unloading work.
Due to a large-scale group infection, the dock on the east side of Gamcheon Port in Busan Port has been suspended for the second day, and there may be a disruption in the unloading of seafood for the time being. An official from the Busan Port Transport Union said, “We are preparing to ensure that there are no problems with the work, but it is difficult to definitively say when the unloading work is normalized.” The route of infection is still unknown. Since overseas sailors are examined during the entry process, infection in the region is currently prevalent.
The aftershock of group infection in Bugok Nursing Hospital continues. On this day, 13 patients and 2 additional workers were confirmed, and there were 56 confirmed cases related to Bugok Nursing Hospital (39 patients, 16 workers, and 1 related contact). In addition, one of the participants of the Daejeon IEM International School camp was included as a new confirmed case.
In Gyeongnam as well, 19 new confirmed cases occurred due to the nth infection, including 10 corona19 confirmed cases in Yangsan. In Ulsan, three family members recently visited Gwangju TCS International School, where the corona19 group infection occurred, and were infected. Reporters Baeksang Kim and Byeongjin Jang k103@
