[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Two additional confirmed cases of COVID-19 related to the Chuseok holiday have been reported in Daejeon.

According to Daejeon City on the 13th, two men in their 20s residing in Bongmyeong-dong, Yuseong-gu, tested positive for COVID-19 on the same day.

It was confirmed that these confirmed cases attended a church retreat held in Asan, Chungnam, from the 8th to the 10th.

The number of retreat attendees was about 70, and health authorities are concerned that the infectious disease, which showed signs of spreading immediately after the Chuseok holiday, could cause secondary infections through the retreat.

The two confirmed cases also gathered and ate meals with other attendees at the retreat.

In particular, it was reported that Daejeon cases No. 387 and 338 (a married couple), who had already tested positive, also attended the retreat.

This couple was part of a family of seven who tested positive between the 10th and 11th after having a family gathering during the Chuseok holiday (3rd). The husband was confirmed through epidemiological investigation to be a pastor active in Jeonju, Jeonbuk.
