Authorities “400 people excluding IM Mission… The local spread is certainly not caught.”

-The quarantine authorities evaluated that the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) to the community is not yet clearly controlled. The fact that the number of confirmed cases per day was recorded in the 500 range explains that the spread is being carried out by latent infected people in various places in the community, excluding the outbreak of IM mission-related groups.

Park Young-jun, head of the epidemiological investigation team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Bang Dae-bon), at the Corona 19 reporter briefing on the 27th, said, “Excluding about 100 (the group related to the IM mission on the 27th), there are about 400 people. I see it as a situation that is definitely not caught.”

“The number of group outbreaks has increased,” Park said. “The group outbreak is added to the basic (community spread) situation, and 500 people are coming out.”

“(Community spread) 300~400 people are not a small number,” he said. “There is still a pile of additional spread to family members, co-workers, and people in close contact by latent infected people in the community, especially asymptomatic or mild patients. I’m watching.” As of the 27th, the number of new confirmed cases in Korea was 516, an increase of 178 from the previous day. There were 274 confirmed cases from the metropolitan area and 242 from the non-metropolitan area. There were more than 100 confirmed cases in Gwangju, where a group infection at TCS International School under the IM Mission was confirmed. It is the first time since the 17th (500) that the number of confirmed cases in Korea has been recorded in 500, and new cases of infection are appearing nationwide this week. In the case of an unauthorized educational facility under the IM Mission, 176 people were confirmed in Daejeon and 147 people in Gwangju. A manufacturer in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, has had 19 confirmed cases since the first confirmed case on the 25th. Additional confirmed cases are also continuing this week at workplaces located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul (34) and acquaintances (17) in Pohang, Gyeongbuk. It was close again to the stage standard (400 people). For this reason, it is observed that there is a possibility that the government may maintain the current distance for the time being if the current level of confirmed cases continues.

KCDC spokesman Ko Jae-young said, “(Distance adjustment) is scheduled to be announced on Friday (29th) at the Central Accident Response Headquarters.” “A discussion is underway on the status of infection, social receptivity, and infectious reproduction index. I will be able to say it after the evaluation of the Living Prevention Committee.”
