[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] A COVID-19 confirmed case has occurred in Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi).

The district announced on the 4th that one resident in the area tested positive and is currently hospitalized and receiving treatment at Seoul Medical Center.

This is the second confirmed case following the one on January 30. Upon receiving notification from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency about the confirmed case, the district immediately informed residents via text messages and disclosed the infection route on its website.

Additionally, disinfection was carried out at the affected residence and nearby locations, with 23 sites closed to minimize residents' anxiety.

The confirmed patient was found to have been infected through a relative with whom they had contact; the family members tested negative and are currently under self-quarantine.

The district feared that delayed information disclosure would increase residents' anxiety, so it promptly released information along with detailed and accurate tracking of the patient's movements.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “We will thoroughly identify close contacts to prevent further transmission within the community,” and added, “We will provide accurate information through thorough epidemiological investigations, strengthen quarantine activities, and promote strict personal hygiene rules to protect residents' health.”

Jungnang-gu has changed the arrangement of restaurants within the district office to a non-face-to-face setup, implemented staggered working hours to reduce public transportation congestion, and formed a quarantine team consisting of 66 groups and 266 members to ensure thorough quarantine activities alongside social distancing measures.
