[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] On the 7th, 18 days after undergoing surgery for early gastric cancer symptoms on the 20th of last month, Kwon Young-jin, Mayor of Daegu, returned to work in good health.

Mayor Kwon said, "I apologize for leaving my post amid numerous pressing issues and causing concern to the citizens of Daegu," adding, "I also thank Deputy Mayors Yang (Administration and Economy) for their efforts to prevent any administrative gaps in preparation for the third wave of COVID-19."

He continued, "The reason Daegu is maintaining stability despite the nationwide resurgence is due to citizen-participatory quarantine measures and the normalization of the 'Mask SseuGO Movement,' where citizens actively participate as the main agents of quarantine," emphasizing, "Let us devote ourselves to early detection of infection sources through proactive diagnostic testing and to economic quarantine efforts to protect the livelihoods of ordinary people."

Mayor Kwon requested, "For the remaining December period, except for important policy decisions, please carefully manage city affairs centered on Deputy Mayor Yang," and added, "Especially with various events planned for the year-end and New Year, please prepare and implement Plan B (alternative and supplementary plans) in accordance with the COVID-19 situation."
