It was counted today (7th) that there were 57 people in the 20s who were confirmed as corona19 confirmed in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, to date.

One of them was confirmed.

Joon-Wook Kwon, Vice President of Central Defense Response Headquarters (Bang Dae-Bon), related to a 29-year-old male A living in Yongin, who was confirmed yesterday in Corona19 at the regular briefing held at the Osong Center for Disease Control in Chungcheongbuk-do, said, It is very likely to increase. "

Kwon added that one of these contacts was further confirmed.

Mr. A, who attends a software company in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a corona19 confirmer who happened in Yongin yesterday after a month.

According to the results of an epidemiological investigation released by Yongin City today, he visited clubs and restaurants in four areas, including Yongin, Seoul, Seongnam, and Suwon, until yesterday when they were confirmed from the 30th of last month, two days before the onset of symptoms.

Kwon said he is still in the process of conducting an epidemiologic investigation on Mr. A.

He responded to the question related to the spread of community by Mr. A and said that the Corona19 virus was already released before the onset of symptoms. "I think there is a high possibility of infection in dense environments and places before symptoms appear."

However, he said, "The definition of 'close contact' itself is related to distance and time, so there are still some areas to be checked through various epidemiological investigations."

When looking at the history of visits to entertainment facilities, it was pointed out whether there is a concern about large-scale infection. "In terms of prevention measures, the closeness of contact, even if it is a place where close contact can occur for more than 15 minutes for quite a long time "It's related to overtime, the timing of the patient's onset, and so on."

He added, "There is a paper that once a patient occurs, it is necessary to find as close to 90% of all contacts as possible as soon as possible to prevent further spread." I did.

Kwon urged the media to comply with the 'Infectious Diseases Reporting Standards', especially as he was aware of the controversy over personal identities caused by Mr. A's release of the movement during the briefing today.

Kwon, deputy general manager, said, "I would like to once again remind you that there is a content that is voluntarily created by the Journalists' Association to protect personal information of infected persons and family members and respect privacy."
