<Anchor> For the

first time since Corona 19, yesterday (30 days) and yesterday's new confirmed numbers in Gwangju recorded two digits. It has been stable for a while compared to other regions, but the number of patients has increased rapidly in the last five days. Gwangju City, which judged that the situation was not serious, said that it would raise social distance to the second level for the first time among local governments and stop attending elementary, middle, and high schools today and tomorrow.

entrance to the church is locked.

A nursing caregiver A, who was positively judged yesterday, went to the church four days ago, and seven believers here were confirmed at once.

It was confirmed that 12 confirmed persons, such as residents in A's nursing facility, where Mr. A was working, contacted Mr. A.

In Gwangju, 12 people were added yesterday and 16 people were added yesterday, and the number of confirmed cases recently increased to 39.

It is the appearance that the infection spreads through religious facilities and small gatherings such as the number of infected people visits the Geumyang officetel, which is believed to be a multi-level business office, and the number of confirmed people surges.

As the number of confirming persons surged, Gwangju City took the first step among the local governments to upgrade to'Secondary Social Positioning'.

[Lee Yong-seop / Gwangju Mayor: For gatherings, gatherings, and events, it is strictly prohibited to hold gatherings and events with more than 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors.]

Museums and libraries operated by public institutions are suspended, Elderly care facilities are limited to two-week visits and workers' outings.

Gwangju City decided to stop attending elementary, middle, and high schools throughout Gwangju today and tomorrow, and replace them with remote classes.
