Corona19 confirmed cases occurred on the same day at Incheon Academy and Mental Hospital, but the spread of infection was significantly different.
In the case of the academy, the instructor, who had been confirmed, cheated on his line and his job, so that the authorities of the quarantine authorities could not respond promptly.
However, the mental hospital is regarded as a best practice to block the spread of infection by first reporting the fact that the mother of the diagnosed son visited Itaewon.
According to Incheon City, A (25), an instructor of a school that visited the Itaewon King Club on the 1st and 3rd, received a positive corona19 test on the 9th and is receiving quarantine treatment.
Immediately after the decision, he falsely stated that he was unemployed to an epidemiological investigator who asked about his job and his ties, and did not tell him that he had worked at the school.
Mr. A belatedly confessed that he had been conducting private tutoring classes and extracurricular classes only on the 12th when the ward office, which was suspicious of the inconsistency in the statements related to the movement, pressured them based on the results of mobile phone location information (GPS) search.
Quarantine officials say that when Mr. A was confirmed on the 9th, only the fact that he was working at the academy could significantly suppress the spread of infection.
If you knew the status of the instructor right away, you could reduce the chance of further infection by self-isolating the contact students who took the class, but couldn't do anything for three days to confirm Mr. A's actual status.
In the meantime, the number of patients diagnosed increased rapidly as students who came in contact with Mr. A went to other academies and churches to meet people.
There are 14 confirmed cases related to Mr. A, including 9 middle and high school students and 5 adults, but only 1,473 people including church believers and other academy graduates are in need of direct or indirect contact with the diagnosis.
Since it is the case that a third-degree infectious agent who has never been in contact with Mr. A is likely to spread the infection from the instructor of Incheon Academy.
In contrast, in the case of Mr. B (21), who was positive on the 9th, which is the same day as Mr. A's confirming decision date, the mother of the confirming person voluntarily informs the quarantine authorities of her son's visit to Itaewon to prevent the possibility of infection spread in the early stages. It played a decisive role.
Mr. B visited the Itaewon pub on the 4th and was admitted to the mother's hospital the next day.
At the time of hospitalization, there were no symptoms associated with Corona 19, but when the Itaewon Club group infection began to be reported to the media, Mr. B's mother called the hospital on the 8th to inform her son of her visit to Itaewon.
Eventually, the quarantine authorities inspected Mr. B's confirmation on the 9th and immediately managed the hospital with a cohort (same group) quarantine level, including full outpatient medical care outages, blocking of outsiders, and access control.
At that time, Mr. B was hospitalized, and 236 people, including 179 inpatients and 57 medical staff and staff, lived together in a single building, causing serious concern about group infection.
However, as a result of prompt prevention and thorough follow-up, all 236 people received a negative decision as a result of the Corona 19 test, so no additional confirmed patients were diagnosed.
Incheon Mayor Park Nam-chun said on Facebook, "One phone call to my mother who seemed to have been in Itaewon's pub has prevented the infection of the hospital." As the fight against Corona 19 is not over, please relax and respond together. "
