A county official said, “Recently, cases of infection have been increasing not only in high-risk facilities nationwide but also through everyday meetings among family and acquaintances,” and added, “Please refrain from visiting or traveling to other regions, private gatherings, and family meetings, and strictly follow quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks.”
