The 13th COVID-19 Case Confirmed in Dobong-gu, Seoul... Suspected 3rd Generation Infection from Itaewon (Update)

[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Dobong-gu, Seoul announced on the 14th that the 13th confirmed case of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) occurred in the district. It is known that there is a high possibility of third-generation infection originating from the Itaewon club.

Dobong-gu explained that the 13th patient, a man in his 20s, visited 'Gawang Coin Karaoke' in Chang 1-dong, which the 10th patient of Dobong-gu had visited, experienced body aches and fatigue, got tested on the 13th, and was confirmed positive on this day.

The 10th patient of Dobong is a close contact of the 46th confirmed patient of Gwanak-gu, who was confirmed positive after visiting the Itaewon club. He was at Gawang Coin Karaoke from 9:37 PM to 10:10 PM on the 7th. This location is also where the 12th patient of Dobong stayed from 9:36 PM to 10:54 PM on the same day.

The currently presumed infection route is that the Itaewon club visitor (Gwanak 46th) transmitted the virus to a close contact (Dobong 10th), and from there, through the karaoke room, it spread to Dobong 12th and 13th patients.

If there are no other infection factors for Dobong 12th and 13th patients, it is highly likely that the third-generation infection occurred at the karaoke room.
