Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, said today (6 days) that all four members of the Hanam region who were confirmed that they had contacted the 17th confirmed person living with new coronavirus infection (resident in Guri-si) were negative.

A city official said, "All of the tests were confirmed by the Gyeonggi Institute for Health and Environment Research," he said. "The quarantine measures will be maintained for 14 days (up to 8 days) from the date of final contact with the sponsor."

The city has agreed to maintain the closures for day care centers with two children in these families.

Earlier, the family reported that they had contacted the 17th sponsor and the New Year's holiday on the 25th of last month in a city other than the race zone within 1 hour.

The 17th confirmed was a 38-year-old Korean male who attended a Singapore seminar on 18-24 last month and is currently isolated from Goyang Myongji Hospital.
