[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] On the afternoon of the 3rd, all official schedules of Lee Jong-bae, the Policy Committee Chairman of the People Power Party (formerly the United Future Party), were completely canceled after a party official in the Policy Committee Chairman's office tested positive for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The People Power Party announced that the scheduled attendance at 2 p.m. of Floor Leader Joo Ho-young and the Policy Committee Chairman at the ceremony for awarding the Policy Committee Chairpersons and Policy Coordination Committee Chairpersons was canceled.

Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman, who marked his 100th day in office on the same day, was also scheduled to attend the 'Cultural Future Report 2020 - Climate and Post-Corona' event held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry at 2 p.m., but his attendance was canceled.
