corona19 confirmed cases exceeded 50 again a day yesterday (11th). The number of outbreaks in Korea is 35, the most in 20 days, and the spread of the metropolitan area is unusual.

<Reporter> This

is Lotteria Gunja Station, a fast food chain located in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

At around 3:30 pm on the 6th, 9 store managers of Lotteria and 1 head office employee, 10 people in total, had a meeting here for about 2 hours.

Those who had dinner at a nearby restaurant moved to a nearby chicken house with 9 other co-workers and stayed until 9pm.

It was investigated that most of the masks were not worn.

The next day, one manager had fever symptoms and was confirmed yesterday in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

To date, 11 people have been confirmed, from meeting attendees and from them to employees at headquarters who are suspected of having a secondary infection.

Lotteria explained that it is unlikely that all of the confirmed patients worked in the office and met directly with customers.

However, as there are more co-workers who show suspicious symptoms, a confirmed case may be added.

The health authorities have requested that people who have been at the'Chicken Bangi Active Point' in Gwangjin-gu from 5 pm on the 6th to 2 am the next day should be tested if symptoms appear.


In the Namdaemun Market in Seoul, the family of a merchant in Jungang Shopping Center, who was confirmed yesterday, was further confirmed.

This is the fourth case of infection that started at Banseok Church in Goyang City and passed through Kennedy Shopping Center and Jungang Shopping Center in Namdaemun Market.

[Park Yoo-mi/Seoul City Citizen Health Bureau: There is no CCTV in the shopping area, so it is difficult to identify visitors, so we will view the current card usage history.]

From the 30th of last month to the 8th of this month, I visited the Kennedy Shopping Center of Namdaemun Market or the Jungang Shopping Center on the 7th and 8th. If you have any later symptoms, you should get tested immediately.
