[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Ki-dong] Mokpo City announced on the 21st that the self-quarantine of all quarantine subjects due to contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases in the region was lifted as of the 15th.

In Mokpo, starting with the first confirmed case on the 24th of last month, a total of five confirmed cases occurred, including three overseas entrants, and 54 contacts with them entered self-quarantine.

After 14 days of quarantine, the re-diagnosis test results were negative, and with the lifting of quarantine, the number of self-quarantined individuals due to contact with confirmed cases in Mokpo became zero.

As a result, currently in Mokpo, excluding 61 overseas entrants whose quarantine was lifted since the 1st, 69 people (38 in two facility quarantines, 31 in home quarantine) are under strict management by the public health center as quarantine subjects.

Furthermore, as the domestic COVID-19 situation stabilizes to some extent, and overseas entrants are collectively tested at the Naju temporary inspection facility with their numbers continuously decreasing, Mokpo City will partially adjust the management system for efficiency in personnel and equipment operation.

The Yudal Stadium drive-through screening clinic, which conducted 0 to 1 diagnostic test per day, ceased operation from the 20th, and the two overseas entrant quarantine facilities, the West Sea Regional Coast Guard Dormitory and the International Football Center, are under consideration to be integrated into one facility according to the fluctuation in arrivals. However, all facilities will be maintained as is for the time being in preparation for any situation.

Meanwhile, Mokpo's first confirmed case was discharged after being declared recovered on the 10th and is currently under self-quarantine. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th confirmed cases are currently hospitalized at Gangjin Medical Center, and the 5th confirmed case is hospitalized at Mokpo City Medical Center. Their health conditions are good, but they have not been discharged yet as the final diagnostic test results have not come out negative.
