[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed gratitude and respect to the medical staff who are fighting fiercely against COVID-19.

On the afternoon of the 28th, the 100th day since the first COVID-19 case occurred, Governor Lee posted on Facebook, "Two nurses caring for patients in the COVID-19 isolation ward at Goyang Myeongji Hospital were recently diagnosed positive one after another," adding, "They must have endured great hardship, risking their lives for the past three months... It is heartbreaking and even feels shameful to express sympathy as they are now staying there as patients, not as medical staff."

He continued, "I sincerely hope that both of them recover fully in body and mind as soon as possible."

He explained, "Today marks 100 days since the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in Korea," and "The reason our country has been recognized as a model nation worldwide is due to the infinite dedication of the medical staff."

In particular, he emphasized, "I convey my deep respect and gratitude for the noble sacrifice and dedication of the medical staff who save patients' lives and protect the health of the residents," and "I believe the 13.6 million residents of Gyeonggi Province share the same sentiment."

Governor Lee added, "I will repay that dedication, even if just a little, by fulfilling the role entrusted to me more thoroughly," and encouraged, "Once again, I wish a speedy recovery to the two medical staff members of Myeongji Hospital, and I urge all medical personnel to stay strong."

As of 4 p.m. on that day, there were 675 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the province.
