[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] The initial source that caused the infection of six family members in Suwon with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was a tuna restaurant gathering attended by the father in his 40s.

According to quarantine authorities on the 28th, among the six family members, the first confirmed case was Mr. A in his 40s (Suwon case number 164), who had a meeting with acquaintances at a tuna restaurant in Suwon on the afternoon of the 18th.

At the tuna restaurant that day, Mr. B in his 70s (Suwon case number 148) was also present about 4 to 5 meters away from Mr. A and his group.

Mr. B, who attended a rally held in Gwanghwamun, Jongno-gu on the 15th, reportedly intentionally kept distance from other customers while dining.

However, it seems that even a distance of 4 to 5 meters could not prevent the virus with strong transmissibility.

At the time of visiting the tuna restaurant, Mr. B was unaware of his infection. When he developed a fever the next day on the 19th, he underwent a specimen test and was confirmed positive the following day.

Mr. A, who was contacted as a contact of Mr. B at the tuna restaurant, was confirmed positive on the 22nd.

Mr. A transmitted the virus to his family members living together.

On the 24th, Mr. A’s wife in her 40s (Suwon case number 167), mother in her 70s (Suwon case number 168), and son under 10 years old (Suwon case number 169) were all confirmed positive at once.

Two other children under 10 years old (Suwon case numbers 198 and 199) were confirmed positive four days later on the 28th. Thus, a total of six family members including Mr. A were infected.

Although Mr. A’s family is not related to the Gwanghwamun rally, they were classified as confirmed cases originating from the Gwanghwamun rally as victims of secondary infections caused by rally participants.
