<Anchor> A
group of 32 crew members of the Navy's landing ship'Go Junbong' were infected with Corona 19. This is the first time a group infection has occurred on a naval ship.
Reporter Kim Tae-hoon's report.
<Reporter> This is
a naval landing ship, Ko Junbong, supporting coastal landings with Marine Corps soldiers and amphibious armored vehicles.
Jinhae, Gyeongsangnam-do is the home port, but while performing a mission at sea, we made an emergency entry to the naval base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do yesterday (on the 22nd).
A diagnostic test was conducted on all the crew members as a result of the confirmation of the child care center teacher of an executive Joon Bong-ham Koh, and 32 out of 80 people were tested positive for Corona 19.
It is the first mass infection of a naval ship.
The Navy has transported the confirmed and close contacts to land and is in quarantine for one person.
Currently, more than 20 essential manpower remain, and the Go Junbong ship is being quarantined at sea.
The inside of the trap is a dense space of a single cooperative system, so the virus easily spreads.
Hundreds of infections occurred last year on the US Navy's Roosevelt carrier and Japanese cruise ships.
The Navy is conducting diagnostic tests on all crew members of all ships, and said it is scheduled to wait in the ship until the ship's crew judges negative.
In addition, for two weeks, we decided to immediately implement special quarantine measures, such as raising the distance within the military to 2.5 steps for all ships and major units such as Busan, Jinhae, and Pyeongtaek.
