[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's candidate for Seoul mayor, suspended her afternoon schedule on the 27th after Rep. Jeong Cheong-rae, who accompanied her on the campaign trail, was notified as a contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case.


Park and Rep. Jeong had campaigned together the previous day at Mangwon Market, held a meeting with the market merchants' association, and conducted a campaign at Hongdae Sangsangmadang's 'Healing Camp.'



A representative from Park's campaign said, "For now, the 2 PM schedule is canceled and the schedule after 6 PM is on hold. We will announce updates as soon as the situation is resolved."
