On the 13th, it spreads after confirmation of a public bathhouse shrine

Many of the group confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) that occurred in a public bath in Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do were identified as workers in entertainment establishments who “moon bath”.

27 corona19 confirmed by the 15th

According to Gyeongnam-do, etc. on the 15th, three gentlemen A (female) was confirmed by Corona 19 at a public bath in Geoje city on the 13th. On the 14th, 3 additional people who had been to the public bath with one of Mr. A’s family were confirmed, and on the 15th, 22 additional confirmed patients were diagnosed due to the’N-type infection’ of the bathroom foot.

In Gyeongnam Province, as a bunch of corona 19 confirmed cases came out from the public bathhouse, these confirmed cases were classified as confirmed by bathhouse feet. However, as many of these confirmed cases are found to be employees of entertainment establishments, the first cause of infection is a public bathhouse or an entertainment establishment, and the relationship after the infection is being investigated. Particularly, among the confirmed cases, it is determined that entertainment establishment workers used the’moon bath’, and a full survey is conducted on moon bath users.

Moon bathing is a method of receiving a discount instead of paying for a certain period of time in advance. Experts point out that if you quit moon bathing in a local public bath or sauna, you will meet frequently, accumulating intimacy, and increasing your chances of getting infected by frequent conversations or sharing the food you took.

Geoje City believes that it is highly likely that confirmed entertainment establishment workers spread the infection while working in other entertainment establishments. Accordingly, a screening clinic was opened in Geoje Gymnasium, and citizens who used local entertainment pubs, singing practice areas, and danran pubs between February 26 and March 14 must be tested for Corona 19.

Starting with 1 on the 9th, 3 people on the 10th, 41 on the 11th, 48 on the 12th, 40 on the 13th, and 17 on the 14th, followed by 18 people on the 15th were finally tested positive.
