[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, has requested active cooperation from citizens to prevent the spread of COVID-19 related to the sauna outbreak.

On the 15th, Jinju City announced requests to citizens and urged them to refrain from traveling to other areas to prevent the spread of the local cluster infection caused by the "Pharos Health Sauna" located in Sangdae-dong.

First, due to the outbreak of a bathhouse cluster infection and the elevation to social distancing level 2, the city asked citizens to refrain from traveling to other regions and to strictly follow quarantine rules in daily life until March 28, when social distancing level 2 is in effect.

The city also requested that, to block potential transmission of COVID-19, even those with mild symptoms visit nearby screening clinics for proactive testing.

If symptoms are present or there is an epidemiological link, free testing is available at private screening clinics and public health center screening clinics.

Additionally, the city requested that all citizens who used the "Pharos Health Sauna" from February 26 to March 10 promptly undergo testing and urged active cooperation from the public.
