Gyeonggi-do municipalities also had an emergency response due to the outbreak of corona virus infection-19 (corona 19) at a call center in Guro-gu, Seoul.

Most of the call center employees live in Gyeonggi-do, and it is estimated that there will be a large number of commuters and contacts using public transportation such as subways and buses.

According to Gyeonggi-do's municipalities, there are 14 employees in five municipalities including Bucheon, Anyang, Gwangmyeong, Gimpo, and Uijeongbu as of 3:00 pm today (11th) of Ace Damage Insurance call center employees in Korea Building in Sindorim-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul.

In addition, additional inspections are underway for 139 Gyeonggi-do contacts on the 7th and 9th floors of the building.

The county identified the corridors' movements, first quarantined family members and contacts, and sanitized the sites.

However, the status of municipal contacts did not include the large number of unspecified residents who were estimated to have been in contact with the subway and buses as the majority of the confirmed commute to work.

This raises concerns about the spread of local communities through secondary and tertiary infections.

According to the caller confirmed by the county, the 11th confirmed person in Anyang City had contacted 17 people in the past 5-7 days.

These are residents who have contacted apartment lifts, taxis, clinics, pharmacies, restaurants, supermarkets, etc., all of which are classified as self-contained or active surveillance.

The commuter commuted to and used subway line 1 (Anyang Station and Guro Station) every day and also used a bus from the subway station to his home.

However, those who contacted during this process could not be identified and were not included.

This commute line is similar to Anyang City's 8-10 confirmation, but no contact was confirmed when using public transportation.

Anyang health official said, "If the examiner used a city bus, subway, or village bus, it would be difficult to identify the contact person." "To check this, you must check both the stop CCTV and the CCTV on the bus. "It's not easy to do."

The Gwangmyeong city checker used the wide area bus and subway line 1 and 7, the Uijeongbu checker used the town bus and subway line 1 and the Gimpo city checker used the Gimpo Urban Railway (Gold Line) and the subway line 2 and 5.

There was also no contact for their use of public transportation.

The good news is that epidemiological studies have confirmed that people wore masks when they commute to work.

Nevertheless, experts said, "It's better to wear it than not wearing it, but it's not 100% safe in crowded spaces."

An epidemiologist at Gyeonggi-do said, "If you wear a mask, you can prevent infection by direct splash. If both sides wear a mask, you will not be classified as a close contact during the epidemiological investigation." I have to weigh it. "

Chung Ki-suk, professor of respiratory medicine at Hallym University Medical School, former director of the Center for Disease Control, said, "It is not easy to find a large number of unspecified contacts by CCTV."

Anyang city official said, "Most of the city buses do not have CCTV inside," he said. "It is desirable to make and implement guidelines for disinfecting trains and buses from time to time."

Yoon Tae-ho, the Central Accident and Welfare Headquarters, said in a briefing today that "finding contacts in public transportation such as subways is practically difficult."

In order to prevent radio waves through contact with exposed surfaces such as handles, the Central Defense Response Headquarters washes hands thoroughly with soap under running water and does not touch eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. I repeatedly asked him to watch.
