With family-wide COVID-19 transmission now occurring in two families in Seoul alone, there are increasing calls to raise awareness to prevent infections within families.

In the case of the family in Junggye-dong, Nowon-gu, the husband (46) was first confirmed positive on February 27, followed by his wife and children testing positive one after another. He is an employee working at a residential-commercial complex management office in Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, and it was confirmed that on February 11 he had contact with the 121st domestic patient (Seongdong-gu) at his workplace. Subsequently, his wife Kim (45, female), as well as their daughter, a high school senior, and their son, a middle school third grader, all tested positive for COVID-19.

Additionally, on the 7th in Yangcheon-gu, three family members?the wife, husband, and daughter?were confirmed as COVID-19 positive cases.

Two members of the third confirmed family requested specimen testing at the public health center screening clinic on the 6th, and the adult daughter (female, 25) was confirmed as the fourth positive case on the morning of the 7th.

The fifth confirmed case in Yangcheon-gu is the spouse (male, 55) of the third confirmed case. He received a final positive diagnosis on the afternoon of the 7th and is currently under self-quarantine.
