Mayor Oh Se-hoon was confirmed today (11th) with COVID-19.
According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Mayor Oh went to work at the city hall this morning and when the rapid antigen test (self-diagnosis kit) came out positive, he underwent a PCR (gene amplification) test, and was notified of the diagnosis in the afternoon.
The face-to-face meeting with executives scheduled for the morning was replaced by a video conference, and all external schedules were canceled.
Mayor Oh will stay at home for 7 days until the 17th to receive home treatment.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said, "Mayor Oh plans to take various reports and current affairs through online and video conferencing so that there is no gap in the administration during the home treatment period. "He said.
Mayor Oh did not attend the luncheon for President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol yesterday, but it was confirmed that he had a meal with People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok recently.
CEO Jun-seok Lee, who has been visiting Gwangju since yesterday, was not feeling well this morning, so he took a rapid antigen test at a hospital in Gwangju and the result came out positive.
An official from Seoul said, "Mayor Oh has been testing the self-diagnosis kit every morning, and today's test was also done as usual." "There were no special symptoms until morning."
