[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] It has been reported that one Blue House administrative officer tested positive for COVID-19, but all employees who worked in the same space as the infected staff have tested negative.


Park Kyung-mi, Blue House spokesperson, stated on the 15th, "Regarding the confirmed COVID-19 case among Blue House employees, all employees who worked in the same space tested negative in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests."


The Blue House announced the day before that one administrative officer tested positive for COVID-19. This is the first confirmed case among Blue House internal staff.



The employee was working from home after their spouse showed fever symptoms and underwent a PCR test, which confirmed the infection. The Blue House immediately restricted access to the area where the employee worked, implemented disinfection measures, and conducted PCR tests for all employees who worked in the same space.
