[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A family member of a private academy instructor who was diagnosed with COVID-19 two weeks ago tested positive for the virus while in self-quarantine.

According to Dobong-gu, Seoul, on the 12th, a 23-year-old man living in Chang 5-dong (Dobong-gu case number 9) was confirmed positive and is receiving treatment at Seoul Medical Center.

This man’s mother, who works as an instructor at Nun Noppi Learning Center Shindonga Academy, tested positive on the 29th of last month (Dobong-gu case number 6). Following her diagnosis, the family of four, including the man, had been in self-quarantine together.
