As the infection of Corona 19 in Club Itaewon spread to karaoke and pubs in the metropolitan area, each local government decided to conduct a diagnostic test for people who visited the facility.

In addition, in order to prevent collective outbreaks centered on medical institutions, Samsung Medical Center decided to conduct periodic tests on all contactees and active monitors.

This is a measure that reflects the willingness of the quarantine authorities and local governments to quickly find out the spreader and block the path of infection through extensive inspection.

At the regular briefing on the 22nd, the Central Disaster Safety Response Headquarters announced the response policies of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do.

"In Seoul, Incheon, etc., the infection prevention authorities are spreading to families and acquaintances after being infected in multi-use facilities such as academy, singing practice center, tavern, etc." "We are committed to minimizing the spread of infection in the metropolitan area."

According to the manuscript, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to carry out diagnostic tests on visitors to Itaewon to prevent further spread of the Itaewon Club group infection, and to conduct a thorough test of the confirmed institutions.

Incheon Metropolitan City is planning to carry out quarantine for the Vision Plaza with coin karaoke rooms and PC rooms where additional confirmers have occurred and partially close the building.

In addition, we decided to check whether the 'prohibition of collection' measures given to the song practice hall in the hall until the 3rd of the following month were followed, and to provide information related to them in text to prevent the occurrence of additional patients.

Gyeonggi-do decided to conduct a diagnostic test with or without symptoms for people who used other rooms at the same time as the confirmer to prevent further spreads related to the Bucheon Stone Feast from Club Infection.

As of 0 o'clock on the day, the number of confirmed persons related to the Itaewon Club was 207, an increase of 1 from noon on the previous day.

There are more than 77,000 tests related to club foot infections.


However, it is not clear as to where the virus spread from the Itaewon Club began. (  * Related articles ▶ [SBS only] Itaewon virus is 'C type'… more contagious)

Kim said, “Investigation of infectious agents requires additional research, analysis, and expert review.” "It's very unstable to be quick."

This is the answer to the claim that the infection from the club was spread through immigration, such as international students and residents.

The Itaewon club-related confirmers reported that the same type of corona19 virus was found in the United States and Europe.

In order to prevent the spread of infections related to Samsung Seoul Hospital, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to periodically perform diagnostic tests on all contacts and active monitors.

Seoul City will conduct three inspections per person.

On the 19th, as the successors were discovered at the Samsung Seoul Hospital called 'Big 5' and Gangnam Hospital in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, there was concern that the infection continued mainly in medical institutions.

So far, there has been no major outbreak.

"The examination of the contact person in Samsung Seoul Hospital was almost completed, but there were no additional patients, and there were no additional confirmed patients in the hospital other than the first confirmed patient at Yongin Gangnam Hospital," explained Kim.

In addition, additional infections have not been confirmed in Seongnam Medical Center, Seoul Detention Center, and Korea Science and Technology Vocational College.

In the government official level 5 bond test held on the 16th, there was no confirmed person among 10,000 test takers.

Meanwhile, there have been reports of cases of childhood gangrene (children's multi-organ inflammatory syndrome) in countries around the world.
