<Reporter> As

of today (5th) at 12:00 noon, the Central Quarantine and Prevention Headquarters announced that there were 29 corona19 confirmers related to Richway, a health product visiting and selling company in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

By region, Seoul has the largest number of 18 people, with 5 Gyeonggi, 4 Incheon, and 2 Chungnam.

In particular, it was found that most of the confirmed patients were elderly people in their 60s and 70s, and the oldest patients were 86 years old.

The total number of visitors identified so far is 179, and the company urged those who visited the company between 21st and 3rd last month to undergo diagnostic tests regardless of symptoms.

Some facilities were closed because it was confirmed that corona19 confirmed patients went to Asan Hospital in Seoul as well.

A 69-year-old male A had a corona19 test at a health center in Gangbuk-gu yesterday, and he received a confirmed notice while waiting for an outpatient visit to Asan Hospital this morning, before the test results were released.

As a result, the kiosk and blood collection room on the first floor of the new building where Mr. A went, the outpatient photography room and restaurant on the first floor of the east hall, and the electrocardiogram room on the second floor of the east hall were immediately closed.

However, Asan Hospital in Seoul said that the treatment is ongoing without a hitch.
