Ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, the number of corona 19 confirmed cases is increasing, centering on religious facilities in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.

A person who used to live in a religious facility called the Seungri Altar of Yeongsaenggyo and taught academy was infected, and so far, nearly 100 people have been confirmed.

Among the confirmed cases, there are elderly people, and in the case of students, they go to other academies, so the authorities are closely monitoring the movement.

For more information, we will connect with reporters.



Reporter Sohee Han, let’s first summarize the status of additional confirmed cases today (10th).



<Reporter> The



building of the Yeongsaeng Bridge Victory Altar has been emptied from yesterday and has been firmly closed.



As news of the spread is known, few people visit this place.



Of the 43 new confirmed cases released today, 39 members of Yeongsaenggyo here, and 4 additional students, including students and their families, were confirmed at a nearby academy where Shindo taught.



This is the result of a total survey of 110 members of Yeongsaenggyo and 130 students, including academies and officials.



As a result, the number of confirmed cases related to Youngsenggyo has increased to 96.



In particular, the new confirmed cases are people who have lived in a dormitory, and there are many elderly people in their 60s to 90s, which is a big concern.




<Anchor> The



number of people increased by more than 40 in one day. What is the reason why the number of confirmed patients increased so much?



<Reporter> The



quarantine authorities believe that the first symptom was spread because a man in his 50s who showed symptoms for the first time received a late audit.



This man, while living in a dormitory here, has been teaching children at academy.



Even though I had symptoms such as coughing and muscle pain on the 3rd, I have been living without suspicion of corona.



The test was also received on the 7th when a student of the academy was first confirmed.



It is 4 days after the onset of symptoms.



Eventually, the virus spread all over the place in the meantime, and it is already too late when the quarantine authorities began a full investigation.
