[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 3rd, Gwangju City announced that it has filed a complaint against a COVID-19 confirmed patient who participated in the Gwanghwamun rally and concealed their movement route, on charges of violating the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act.


The 40-year-old Mr. A, the 252nd confirmed case in the region, initially stated during the epidemiological investigation that he had visited a water play facility in Naju, Jeollanam-do.
