[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, posted a photo of a nurse playing Hwatu card game with a grandmother confirmed with COVID-19 in a hospital room while wearing a suffocating protective suit, saying "My heart feels heavy" and promised to do his best.

On the 4th, the governor uploaded a photo on Facebook, saying, "A single photo, I can't take my eyes off it," and asked, "What words can express this solemn human love that even feels reverent?"

He continued, "The prolonged COVID-19, the exhausting daily quarantine routine, but there were these images of our people. It overlaps with the recent photo of 'swollen nurse fingers,'" adding, "Perhaps the fingertips of the nurse in the photo are like this too. My heart aches and feels heavy."

Governor Lee then expressed gratitude, saying, "Nurse Lee Soo-ryun, and all the medical staff working hard on the front lines of quarantine, thank you so very much," and "Your hard work has rekindled the 'power of faith' that supports our community."

He also said, "It made us realize what we must do in our respective positions again," and pledged, "I will do my part so that we can surely overcome the current ordeal and the greatness and nobility of our people can bear fruit."
