[Breaking] Authorities: "Increased contact during Seol may cause COVID-19 resurgence... Strict daily quarantine measures required"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Ju-hyung] The Central Disease Control Headquarters (CDCH) reiterated on the 12th the importance of strictly adhering to daily quarantine rules to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19 infections during the Lunar New Year holiday (February 11?14).

On the same day, the CDCH warned through COVID-19 patient statistics and reference materials that "risk factors such as the ongoing third wave and increasing infections from variant viruses remain, and if interpersonal contact increases during the holiday, there is a risk of leading to a COVID-19 resurgence."

The CDCH emphasized that to prevent the spread of infection, it is very important to minimize movement and contact by refraining from visiting hometowns, relatives, and traveling, as well as prohibiting private gatherings of five or more people.
