Yesterday, 22 new confirmed persons in Gwangju.

Fifteen of them are contacts from the caregiver A, who was confirmed two days ago, with 12 members of the Sarang Church and 3 residents of the Dong-gu nursing facility.


A female patient in her 60s who was admitted to Chosun University Hospital on the 30th of last month was also a contact with Mr. A, and was confirmed after discharge.

Three additional residents, including guardians and guardians, were also confirmed.

Looking at the trend of infection in Gwangju, infections originating from religious facilities and officetels are spreading to nursing facilities and hospitals, and I am worried that the proportion of elderly people over 60 is over 60%.

[Park Hyang/Director of Welfare and Health, Gwangju Metropolitan City: I think there are some other symptoms. It's not serious enough to worry about it yet, but I'm worried because I'm

older .] Gwangju Gwangsa Temple is believed to be the source of infection in the Gwangju area, which began on the 27th of last month.

[Park Neung-Hoo/ Minister of Health and Welfare: The spread of Gwangju is not serious. In light of Daegu's experience, it took only a week from 20 to 200 people.]

Yesterday, Gwangju City upgraded its social distance to the second stage, raising the level of life protection, and the police were also unregistered to assist in the prevention activities. We started to crack down on the illegal operation of multi-level companies.
