Governor Kim Kyung-soo Cancels Schedule on the 8th Due to Family Member's COVID-19 Confirmation Among Appeal Trial Attendees

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Kim Kyung-soo, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, canceled all official schedules after a family member of one of the audience members who had contact with him during the appellate trial was confirmed positive for COVID-19 on the 8th.

Gyeongnam Province announced on the 8th that a family member of one of the attendees at Kim's appellate trial held at the Seoul High Court tested positive for COVID-19.

Governor Kim, who was in close proximity to this trial attendee, decided not to attend the event following the recommendation of Gyeongnam Province health officials that it would be better not to participate.

Governor Kim was scheduled to attend the Gyeongnam Green New Deal Ideathon event held in Tongyeong at 2 p.m. and the awards ceremony of the 14th Admiral Yi Sun-sin International Yacht Competition. The province explained that since Governor Kim did not have direct contact with the confirmed case, he was not subject to testing.

Governor Kim said, "I feel sorry to the officials and residents who have prepared and participated in the event for a long time," adding, "Although I cannot attend in person, I will continue to strive for the promotion of Gyeongnam's Green New Deal and the revitalization of marine leisure tourism."
