[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that since the first COVID-19 case was confirmed at the Hair Cock Yeonsinnae branch, a hair salon located in Eunpyeong-gu, a total of 9 confirmed cases, including colleagues and family members, have been reported as of the 25th.

Immediately after the first confirmed case, the district took emergency disinfection and temporary closure measures for the facility.

Additionally, a rapid response team was deployed to conduct in-depth epidemiological investigations, trace the movements of confirmed cases, identify contacts, and investigate infection routes.

Along with this, from August 8 to 22, visitors to the hair salon were sent notification messages advising them to visit the nearest public health center screening clinic for testing, regardless of symptoms.

A public health center official stated, “The hair salon where the confirmed cases occurred had many visitors, and if payment was made in cash, it is difficult to conduct epidemiological investigations,” urging once again that “those who visited between August 8 and 22 must get tested.”

As of August 26, the total number of confirmed cases in Eunpyeong-gu is 160.
