Among 147 Overseas Arrivals in Daegu, 12 Report Symptoms... "All Under Self-Quarantine"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] Among the 147 overseas arrivals notified to Daegu City by the government, it has been confirmed that 12 are exhibiting symptoms suggestive of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

According to Daegu City on the 24th, all 12 individuals (2 from Europe, 10 from non-Europe) are Korean nationals who reported symptoms through the COVID-19 self-diagnosis app.

The city plans to conduct diagnostic tests on these individuals at the relevant public health centers, and if they test positive, they will be admitted to hospitals or residential treatment centers.

Additionally, according to government guidelines, all 147 arrivals from Europe will be subject to a 14-day self-quarantine even if they test negative, and non-European arrivals will be advised to voluntarily self-quarantine for two weeks.

In particular, since recent cases have emerged in other regions where asymptomatic non-European arrivals passed quarantine but were later confirmed positive, the government plans to strengthen monitoring until enhanced entry procedures for non-European arrivals are prepared.

At a regular briefing, Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin earnestly appealed, "To those returning from abroad for study or travel, I sincerely urge and solemnly say this: community transmission must not spread because of you."
