[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Pohang City, Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 14th that Mayor Lee Kang-deok has resumed on-site visits, which had been paused due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Following his visit on the 13th, Mayor Lee visited four construction sites on the 14th as well, including the access road to Happy Housing, Ilwol-dong Happy Housing, Yeonil Public Library, and Yeonil Neighborhood Park, receiving reports on project progress and inspecting the sites one by one.
