[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] As the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to rise in Seoul, the sources of these infections are gradually becoming clear.

In particular, several people who unknowingly had dinner with COVID-19 positive individuals have subsequently tested positive themselves, so it seems advisable to avoid dinner gatherings whenever possible.

It was revealed that on February 18, she had a one-hour business meeting and dinner with a 36-year-old man who was confirmed positive at the Gangnam Public Health Center on February 28.

After the meeting and dinner, from February 25, she began experiencing mild symptoms such as a dry throat and slight irritation. Upon being notified on February 28 that the man she met with was confirmed positive, she underwent testing at the Gangnam Public Health Center on February 29 and received a positive confirmation on the morning of March 1.
