[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Busan City is attracting attention by creating witty posters to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 8th, Busan Metropolitan City's official SNS (social networking service) posted three posters along with a message asking people to refrain from year-end gatherings.

The first poster revealed featured the phrase, "So that year-end gatherings and appointments with acquaintances and family, and healing time, do not become the start of killing," accompanied by a photo of a Christmas tree. The decorations hanging on the tree appear to be shaped like the coronavirus.
