[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Go Minjung, the Democratic Party candidate for Gwangjin-eul, claimed regarding the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) that "places visited by confirmed cases are actually safer."

On the 12th, Go posted on her Facebook, "Tonight, I went to a kimbap restaurant in front of Jayang Traditional Market," adding, "I heard that the restaurant had to close for several days because a COVID-19 confirmed case had visited."

She continued, "However, places visited by confirmed cases undergo more thorough disinfection," and added, "They actually become safer places (from COVID-19 infection)."

On the previous day (the 11th), Go appeared on a YouTube broadcast to defend the government's COVID-19 response.

On that day, on the YouTube channel Go Minjung TV's 'Reply! Feeling Live,' she said, "We must do our best until the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases reaches zero, but having seen the government's repeated responses to disasters, I have confidence," and added, "Although small business owners and others who are struggling may not be fully satisfied, I want to say that the government is neither neglecting its duties nor responding poorly."

Meanwhile, Go resigned from her position as Blue House spokesperson on the 15th of last month. Subsequently, the Democratic Party nominated her for the Seoul Gwangjin-eul constituency.
