According to the city of Bucheon on the 9th, 20 people including Shindo at the Yeongsaenggyo Seungri Altar facility in Goean-dong and 33 instructors and students at a tutoring academy in Ojeong-dong were confirmed to have Corona 19. The first symptom at the Yeongsaenggyo-related facility was the academy instructor A. A, who had suspected symptoms of Corona 19 such as muscle pain and fever on the 3rd, was confirmed on the 8th. Later, in the course of epidemiological investigations by the quarantine authorities, it was revealed that Mr. A was living in the men’s dormitory of the Seungri Altar and working at an academy in Ohjeong-dong.
Concerned about the spread of the infection, the quarantine authorities began a total user investigation into three places, including the male and female dormitory of the Seungri Shrine and the clothing manufacturer Bokwang Fashion. Bokwang Fashion is in the women’s dormitory building of the Seungri Altar. As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that 20 people had Corona 19. Most of the confirmed cases are said to have lived in the men’s dormitory of the Seungri Altar.
The building of the Victory Altar was quite large, Bucheon City reported. It consists of two buildings, and male and female dormitories are located in separate buildings. The male dormitory was located on the 2nd basement level to the 4th floor above the ground and housed 21 people. The women’s dormitory has a size of 1 basement floor to 5 floors above ground, with 16 people living. There were 139 users of the Seungri Altar facility, including 37 residents in the dormitory, 104 members, and 35 employees at Bokwang Fashion. On this day, the city of Bucheon issued an administrative order prohibiting gatherings on the facilities of the Seungri Altar.

In the academy, group B, an elementary school student who was a student of Mr. A, was confirmed for the first time on the 7th after showing symptoms on the 6th. Ms. A had symptoms earlier than group B, but had not been tested. A test received after group B was confirmed confirmed that he was infected with Corona 19. An official from Bucheon City said, “Group B received the diagnosis first, but A, who had the fastest symptom onset, is regarded as the index patient (first patient).”
A total of 134 people, including 120 students, 8 instructors, and 6 employees, stayed at the academy was surveyed. An official from Bucheon City said, “It was investigated that two confirmed cases of academy went to two other academies, so an additional group infection could occur.” “Because Mr. A, who had other symptoms, was active from the beginning of this month, the possibility of more confirmed cases is also observed. I’m watching.”
Bucheon City asked the visitors to the Seungri Altar building and the academy to “regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms, undergo a corona 19 test.” If you visited the Seungri Altar building between the 1st of last month and the 8th of this month, or if you went to the academy building from the 20th to the 8th of this month, you are eligible. Bucheon City is also checking the path of confirmed patients by tracking the location of the mobile phone. An official from Bucheon City said, “It seems that the quarantine rules have become loose while living together in a dormitory. Through an epidemiological investigation, we are going to look for violations of quarantine regulations.”
Bucheon citizens are unable to hide their anxiety as a group infection related to religious facilities breaks out in the hall. Jangdeokcheon Mayor of Bucheon on Facebook on that day, “I’m angry because it’s a religious facility again.” “When I tried to remain silent, a group infection broke out again. It’s a pity” and so on. Mayor Jang said, “We will do our best to restore stability as soon as possible by following up on confirmed patients through active quarantine.”
