The city announced on the 12th that although the number of new corona19 confirmed patients remains at a certain level, group infections have occurred in various places such as joint fish markets and general hospitals, so it has decided to maintain the current distance.
However, up to 8 members of the group are allowed for meetings between the two families for marriage and for preschool children under 6 years of age. Direct family gatherings with exceptions are also allowed for up to eight members.
Restrictions on business hours of entertainment facilities will also be lifted. The city demanded that the core quarantine rules be followed so that normal operations can continue.
The ban on the operation of saunas and sweat rooms continues due to the continuous occurrence of confirmed cases in the bathing area.
As of the day, the city announced that 17 new corona19 confirmed cases were added, accumulating 3398.
A bunch of nine workers at the welfare center for the elderly in Busanjin-gu, where one confirmed person was confirmed the day before, was confirmed. It was confirmed that they were packing meals in the welfare center. The city is investigating the welfare center and plans to conduct inspections on all workers and users.
One worker in the Busan joint fish market and one patient discharged from the Seo-gu General Hospital were also added. Other than that, most of the family members or contacts of the existing confirmed patients are investigating the source of infection.
The number of vaccinations was 42,808 as of 9 o’clock the night before, and 68.7% of the first vaccination subjects received the vaccination. Reporter Lee Young-sil [email protected]
