[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Five additional COVID-19 confirmed cases, presumed to be 'n-th generation infections,' have been reported in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province.


According to the Cheorwon County health authorities on the 27th, five people, including Mr. A, an octogenarian resident of Mahyeon-ri, Geunnam-myeon, tested positive for COVID-19 on that day.


Among them, three are family members of confirmed cases, while the remaining two are linked to a local religious facility and contact with a confirmed case in Seoul, respectively.


The health authorities are conducting epidemiological investigations, presuming these cases to be 'n-th generation infections' in the community caused by contacts related to elderly care facilities or residents who tested positive after contact with confirmed cases associated with such facilities and small gatherings.



From the 22nd until this day, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in Cheorwon has reached 180.
