First, let’s look at the Busan situation. Lee Eon-ju, who went out to the Busan mayor’s by-election, was a confirmed person among the visitors to the preliminary candidate election office, right?
Yes, it is. The number of confirmed cases identified so far is 8, including 6 visitors to the elections office and 2 contacts.
On the 30th of last month and the 5th of this month, supporters gathered at this preliminary election office in the building in Jeonpo-dong, Busan.
This preliminary candidate said that 70 people gathered at the event on the 30th of last month.
At that time, more than 50 people were banned from participating in the event in Busan.
It was also last Tuesday. It was found that the quarantine regulations were not properly followed at the ceremony for the awarding of the letter of appointment of religious personnel.
In the case of this prospective candidate, he received a diagnostic test last Tuesday afternoon and held the election schedule by the next afternoon.
First of all, the test result was negative.
This preliminary candidate canceled all schedules and entered self-quarantine from yesterday.
First of all, I canceled it until noon next Tuesday.
This preliminary candidate apologized, saying, “We apologize for causing concern. We will prepare a countermeasure to prevent further confirmed cases.”
The ward office in charge has imposed a penalty of 1.5 million won on this prospective candidate for violating the quarantine guidelines.

The number of confirmed cases related to the BTJ World Center exceeded 700. How is quarantine going?
[기자]
Yes, as of yesterday, there were 713 confirmed cases related to the World Center.
Among them, two out of three infected people without going directly to the Centers of the Nations are so prevalent.
Despite this situation, about 1,300, a little less than half of the 3,000 test subjects, have not yet been tested.
There are people who can’t be contacted at all or even have gone abroad.
As a result, pressure from quarantine authorities and investigative agencies to stop the spread continues.
Two people from the BTJ World Center were arrested for interfering with the epidemiological investigation.
Investigation requests are also ongoing for those who refused or claim to have been absent.
The National Health Insurance Corporation announced that it would exercise the right to indemnify the corporation’s contributions out of the medical expenses for confirmed patients related to the Center for the Nations.
In response to these measures, the missionary organization Intercorp filed an application for temporary injunction and administrative lawsuit against the Sangju mayor to suspend the effect of the disposition of the collective prohibition or closure order.
It is excessive and unequal to take these administrative measures for not cooperating with the quarantine authorities.
[앵커]
This time, I will go to Gwangju. Group infection was confirmed in a medium-sized hospital?
[기자]
Yes, it is. This is Gwangju Central Hospital.
Starting with the confirmation of the nursing assistant, 12 people were confirmed, including workers, hospitalized patients, and their families.
Additional diagnostic tests are currently being conducted for those involved, so it seems that the situation of further transmission needs to be observed.
In the Hyojeong Nursing Hospital, where the group infection previously occurred, the number of confirmed cases increased to 136.
More than half of the 300 confirmed cases in Gwangju identified in the new year are related to nursing homes or general hospitals.
Criticism and magnetic voice came out.
Gwangju Mayor Yong-seop Lee expressed regret about the nursing facility, saying, “Even though high professional consciousness and thorough quarantine regulations are required, some violations have led to group infections.”
The chairman of the Gwangju Medical Association and the Chairman of the Nurses pledged to strictly observe the quarantine regulations with a sense of responsibility to protect the health and safety of citizens, both members and other medical personnel.
