▲ Korea Building with temporary closure notice


It was confirmed that at least 34 employees, trainees and their families were confirmed due to the infection of the corona 19 at the call center on the 11th floor of the Korea Building, Sindorim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul.

This is based on announcements made by local governments by 9 am on the 10th.

As there are many close contacts who have not been tested or have not been tested, the number of related patients is expected to increase.

According to each municipality, the 40-year-old and 48-year-old women who received the call center were confirmed with Corona19 at Dongjak-gu public health center on the morning of the 10th.

They all live in Noryangjin 1-dong, Dongjak-gu.

Of these, 40-year-olds developed sore throat symptoms over the past four days, and 48-year-olds began to have acupuncture for seven days.

In Dongjak-gu, nine of the call center employees live, and three people, including two confirmers and one voice, have been completed.

The remaining six are undergoing testing.

Among the call center employees, 56-year-old women living in Nowon-gu were confirmed first on Wednesday after they were examined at Eunpyeong-gu public health center.

A 51-year-old woman living in Eunpyeong-gu, her coworker, and her husband, 57, were also notified of confirmation 9 days after they were examined in Eunpyeong-gu.

After eight days of receiving notification that the workplace of the patient in Nowon-gu was the call center, Guro-gu contacted the call center staff and 207 trainees and instructed them to take self-containment measures.

54 of them were screened at the Guro-gu Health Center screening hospital on the morning of the morning, where 13 people, including 7 Guro-gu residents and 6 people living in other regions, were positive.

Among the call center employees and trainees who live in Yangcheon-gu, 30-year-old men living in Sinjeong 7-dong and 43-year-old men living in Sinwol 4-dong were confirmed.

Separately, Incheon city officials said that 11 of the call center employees were confirmed on the night of the night, and two more people were confirmed on the morning.

Currently, there are at least 13 residents in Incheon who have been confirmed as confirmed.

Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi-do, said on Thursday night that two of its call center employees were confirmed, and Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, confirmed that four call center employees were confirmed.

A 49-year-old female employee living in Gimpo, Gyeonggi, was confirmed.

So far, the number of people listed by each municipality is 40, but the number of people can be duplicated.

This was due to the fact that they were inspected and confirmed in Guro-gu and included in the Guro-gu presentation, but there are six people who live in the city.

According to the number of confirmed patients based on the inspection, the number of people who are considered as 'Seoul occurrence' is at least 20.

This number is expected to grow further as local governments announce future announcements and additional test results.

Kuro Ward said it plans to have the remaining 153 untrained employees and trainees tested at Guro-gu public health centers or screening clinics by 10 days.

On August 9, Guro-gu finished anti-disinfection work for the entire Korea Building and ordered a total closure of the office space from the 1st to 12th floors.

On the sixth floor of the building, there is an office of former head of the National Planning and Planning Office of Yoon Kun-young, a candidate for parliamentary candidate, in the Guro-dong district of Seoul.

In addition, we set up a screening clinic on the 1st floor of the Korea Building and decided to conduct a sample test for visiting residents.

The call center where the group infection has occurred is operated by a company called Metanet M Platform, and its clients include Ace Insurance.
