Lee Jae-myung: "Visitors to Itaewon Clubs Will Be Considered to Protect Their Identity as Much as Possible"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, promised to ensure that visitors to Itaewon clubs in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, who undergo COVID-19 testing will have their identities protected as much as possible.

At an emergency online press conference held at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government on the 10th regarding the Itaewon club COVID-19 cluster infection, Governor Lee said, "Public attention is focused on the clubs in Itaewon, the source of the cluster infection, and the special minority sleeping rooms in Nonhyeon-dong," adding, "Those who visited these facilities are reluctant to get tested for COVID-19 because they fear their identities or personal characteristics will be exposed. We will arrange for them to get tested alongside ordinary citizens so that they can be tested without revealing their personal traits."

Accordingly, from the 11th to the 17th, those wishing to be tested can do so at any medical clinic in the province by mentioning only their visit to Nonhyeon-dong or Itaewon-dong without disclosing their visit to the specific clubs or sleeping rooms.
