As soon as the Lunar New Year holidays are over, news of a worrisome group infection continues.

About 40 people, including employees, were serially infected at the boiler plant in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do, while a family gathering that was worried about in Busan was reported.

This is a cricket boiler factory in Asan, Chungnam.

On the 13th, an employee in their 20s was confirmed, and as a result of diagnostic tests on colleagues and family, a bunch of infections were confirmed.

The city of Asan temporarily closed the factory building where the confirmed cases occurred, and all employees, excluding essential personnel, were taken home.

In the factory where the outbreak occurred, it was found that all 700 people worked.

The quarantine authorities have set up a temporary screening clinic in the factory to conduct full inspection of employees.

We also requested retesting of about 20 close contacts who were judged negative.

In addition, samples are collected and analyzed from various factories, such as restaurants and rest areas, in order to find the medium of infection.

As most of the infected people are residents of Cheonan and Asan, who are living in the same living area, the quarantine authorities are investigating contacts by mobilizing all available personnel to block further community infection.

In Busan, an infection at family gatherings, which was a concern during the holiday season, was confirmed.

All six people were confirmed, but Busan City is considering disposition as violating the rules for banning groups of five or more.
