3 Itaewon Club Confirmed Cases Visited a Sentimental Pub in Sinchon

Seodaemun-gu Deploys Internal Route Investigation Team to Accurately Confirm Visit Date and Time through CCTV Analysis

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Among the COVID-19 confirmed cases who visited Itaewon clubs in Yongsan-gu, it has been revealed that three individuals visited the emotional pub Damotori5 (34-5 Yonsei-ro 7-gil) located in Sinchon, Seodaemun-gu twice.

According to Seodaemun-gu, the confirmed cases 'Yongsan-gu numbers 21, 22, and 23' stayed at Damotori5 from 9:40 PM on May 3rd to 3:00 AM on May 4th, and again from 11:00 PM on May 5th to 3:00 AM on May 6th.

Confirmed cases number 21 and 23 from Yongsan-gu are French nationals, and number 22 is an American national.

Initially, due to communication difficulties with them, the second visit date was reported as the night of May 4th instead of May 5th.

However, Seodaemun-gu deployed its own movement investigation team and, based on the owner's statements and CCTV footage, identified the exact visit dates, enabling smoother follow-up quarantine activities, contact tracing, and guidance.

Seodaemun-gu Public Health Center identified people who visited the same pub during the confirmed cases' visit times based on entry records and informed them via phone calls and text messages to 'self-quarantine for two weeks' and to 'visit their local public health center for COVID-19 testing.'

Additionally, the same message was sent to residents of the district. Furthermore, disinfection inside and outside the pub was completed, and the confirmed cases' movement routes will be investigated and disclosed on the district's official website.

Meanwhile, a 50-year-old woman residing in Cheonyeon-dong, Cheonyeon Tteuranchae Apartment in Seodaemun-gu, who entered through Incheon Airport from the Philippines on the 8th of this month, was confirmed positive for COVID-19 at 12:30 PM on the 9th.

This woman, the 20th confirmed case in Seodaemun-gu, was asymptomatic upon entry and visited the Seodaemun-gu Public Health Center screening clinic via a limousine dedicated to overseas entrants for testing.

After the test, she maintained self-quarantine at her home and was transferred to Boramae Hospital in Dongjak-gu at 3:30 PM on the 9th.

Seodaemun-gu Public Health Center conducted disinfection around the confirmed case's residence and will investigate her movement routes and disclose them on the district's official website.
