[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On the 28th, Jincheon-gun, Chungbuk announced that a 44-year-old insurance planner, Mr. A, tested positive for COVID-19.


Mr. A was classified as a close contact of insurance planner Mr. B, who had previously tested positive, and underwent a COVID-19 specimen collection test at the health center the day before.


Another insurance planner, Mr. C (51), who had contact with Mr. B, was also confirmed positive on the night of the 27th.


Due to the nature of their work involving face-to-face contact, the three insurance planners, who have wide activity areas and have met many people, were consecutively confirmed positive, prompting Jincheon-gun to focus administrative efforts on tracing their movements and classifying contacts.


In the case of the initially confirmed Mr. B, the number of contacts reaches 110. Among them, except for two colleagues, 108 tested negative, but it is still too early to be relieved.



Mr. A and Mr. C are currently being investigated for their movements and contacts, but health authorities believe that each of them also contacted around 100 people.
