A new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) mutant virus infection case came out in Ulsan, and Ulsan City decided to strengthen the management of 41 confirmed cases.
The city of Ulsan announced on the 8th that one of the nine cases of mutant virus domestic infection announced by the Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Daebon) included one confirmed in Ulsan.
According to the city of Ulsan, as a result of the genetic analysis of Bang Dae-bon, the Ulsan confirmed patient A was confirmed to be infected with a mutant virus from the UK. Mr. A was tested positive in the middle of last month.
At that time, after A was confirmed, a series of infections continued, centering on workplaces and golf driving ranges, and the number of related confirmed cases in Ulsan increased to 41 as of this day, including A. From the 2nd to this day, no additional infected people have come out.
Bang Dae-bon classified A’s infection as a’mutation confirmed case’ in which the mutant strain was confirmed. The remaining 40 confirmed patients in the Ulsan area related to Mr. A did not analyze the virus, but were classified as’epidemiological cases’ in which contact history with the mutant virus infection was confirmed in a situation where no other source of infection was identified epidemiologically. In the end, the explanation of Bang Dae-bon is that all of them can be seen as infected with the mutant virus.
According to the city of Ulsan, 29 out of 41 people were released from quarantine after completing treatment, and the remaining 12 are currently being treated at Ulsan University Hospital and Ulsan Life Treatment Center.
It was investigated that Mr. A was infected by contacting a confirmed patient in another area after stopping by the Busan funeral home. Daebon Bang plans to find out the first person infected with the mutant virus through an epidemiological investigation of where and where A was first infected. Jung Eun-kyung, head of Bangdae Headquarters, said on the day that, “For group cases related to mutant viruses, we are investigating the relationship with cases of foreign inflows,” and “We will disclose the infection route and source of infection as soon as the investigation proceeds.
As Mr. A was identified as infected with the mutant virus, Ulsan City decided to apply enhanced infection control measures that are comparable to those who are currently being treated with the mutant virus. In principle, single-room quarantine is used, and when quarantine is released, both of them must be negatively determined by a gene amplification (PCR) test every 24 hours.
Tae-ik Yeo, head of the Ulsan City Infectious Disease Control Division, said, “A case of Ulsan was confirmed while examining whether a mutant virus was infected among domestic confirmed cases with a large spread and a fast spread.” I strengthened my back,” he said.
On the other hand, as a result of analyzing 248 confirmed cases of domestic outbreaks and overseas inflows since the 4th, Bang Dae-bon announced on the day that it was identified as a mutant virus in 20 cases, 11 out of 20 as foreign inflows and 9 as domestic infections.
All 9 infected persons in Korea are Koreans ▶ Gwangju food company in Gyeonggi-do ▶ Family family in Gimpo city, Gyeonggi-do ▶ Funeral homes in Buk-gu, Busan and golf practice center in Ulsan ▶ Trading company in Seo-gu, Incheon ▶ Manufacturers in Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do. As 20 additional people were confirmed this time, the number of people infected with the mutant virus in Korea increased to 182 people.
