(브레이크뉴스인천 박상도 기자) 인천시가 30일,시민들이 안전하고 편안한 추석 연휴를 보낼 수 있도록 호흡기 감염병, 수인성·식품매개 감염병, 해외 유입 신종 감염병에 대비한 비상 방역 대응체계를 강화한다고 밝혔다.
인천시에 따르면, 시는 오는 10월 3일부터 9일까지 7일간 비상 방역 상황반을 운영한다.
상황반은 시와 군·구 보건소, 보건환경연구원, 국가 지정 입원 치료 병상 등 의료기관을 중심으로 18개 반, 총 168명으로 구성된다.
이를 통해 24시간 비상근무와 상황 전파·감시체계를 가동하여 감염병 발생 시 신속하고 철저히 대응할 계획이다.
특히, 해외 유입 신종 감염병에 대비해 국가 지정 입원 치료 병상 등 6개소 96개의 격리 치료 병상을 상시 운영하며, 수인성·식품매개 감염병 등 집단발생에 대응하기 위해 시·군·구 역학조사반(14개 팀, 138명)을 투입한다.
역학조사반은 확진자의 감염경로 추적 및 사례 분류 등 초기 대응을 강화해 지역사회 확산 차단에 나선다.
인천시는 연휴 기간 지역 이동과 해외여행 증가로 감염병 전파 위험이 커지는 점을 고려해 시민들에게 철저한 개인 방역 수칙 준수를 당부했다.
주요 예방 수칙은 마스크 착용 등 기침 예절 실천하기, 올바른 손 씻기, 씻지 않은 손으로 눈, 코, 입 만지지 않기, 실내 자주 환기하기, 발열 및 호흡기 증상 발생 시 의료기관 방문하기 등이다.
또한, 해외 출국 전 각 지역의 감염병 정보를 확인할 것을 강조했다.
신병철 시 보건복지국장은 “지난 26일 국가정보자원관리원 화재로 방역통합정보시스템이 일시 중단됨에 따라 유선과 팩스를 통한 감염병 신고 방식으로 임시 조치할 계획이다”며, “철저한 감염병 관리로 시민들이 안심하고 명절을 보낼 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다.

-Break News Incheon Park Sang-do Reporter
Incheon City announced on the 30th that it will strengthen its emergency quarantine response system to prepare for respiratory infectious diseases, waterborne and foodborne infectious diseases, and new infectious diseases imported from overseas, to ensure citizens have a safe and comfortable Chuseok holiday.
According to Incheon City, the city will operate an emergency quarantine response team for seven days from October 3rd to 9th.
The team consists of 18 teams, with a total of 168 members, primarily from city, county, and district health centers, the National Institute of Health and Environment, and medical institutions such as nationally designated hospitalization treatment centers.
Through this, 24-hour emergency response and a situational awareness and monitoring system will be activated to ensure a swift and thorough response in the event of an infectious disease outbreak.
In particular, to prepare for new infectious diseases imported from overseas, 96 isolation treatment beds in six locations, including nationally designated inpatient treatment beds, will be permanently operated. Epidemiological investigation teams (14 teams, 138 personnel) from city, county, and district offices will be deployed to respond to cluster outbreaks of waterborne and foodborne infectious diseases.
The epidemiological investigation teams will strengthen their initial response, including tracing the infection routes of confirmed cases and classifying cases, to prevent community spread.
Considering the increased risk of infectious disease transmission due to increased regional movement and overseas travel during the holiday season, Incheon City urged citizens to strictly adhere to personal quarantine guidelines.

He added, "We will do our best to ensure citizens can enjoy the holiday season with peace of mind through thorough infectious disease management."
