"Infection by attending a trade union meeting? Not high, but cannot be ruled out"

The quarantine authorities said that they are investigating various possibilities, including a rally, in relation to the occurrence of a confirmed case of Corona 19 among participants in a recent rally in downtown Seoul held by the KCTU.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said, "Currently, we are investigating the route of infection of the confirmed cases related to the KCTU, and we have not yet confirmed the source of infection."

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said, "Three confirmed patients attended the assembly on the 3rd of this month, and the symptoms occurred on the 14th to 16th." "The probability of infection through the assembly is not high, but the maximum incubation period is within the range of 14 days. "The possibility of infection through gatherings cannot be ruled out," he said.

Earlier, on the 3rd of this month, the Confederation of Trade Unions held a large-scale national workers' conference in Jongno-gu, Seoul, attended by about 8,000 (organizer estimates).

At that time, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police announced a ban on the assembly due to the fear of the spread of Corona 19 and blocked the area around Yeouido, where the assembly was scheduled, but the Confederation of Trade Unions changed the venue to carry out the assembly, and three of the assembly participants were confirmed.
