[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] In the Gwangju area, the daily number of new COVID-19 cases has recorded single digits for two consecutive days, showing a somewhat subdued spread.

However, it is still considered too early to be reassured, as the decrease in testing during the three-day holiday period had a significant impact.

According to Gwangju Metropolitan City on the 12th, 7 people were infected in one day, classified as cases 5202 to 5208.

Since the first patient (5114) was identified on the 6th at an apartment construction site in Gwangsan-gu, 3 additional cases including 5204, 5205, and 5208 have been confirmed, bringing the total to 11.

There are a total of 2 cases related to other cities and provinces: case 5202 had contact with Seongnam 8058 in Gyeonggi-do, and case 5206 had contact with Gyeongsan 1936 in Gyeongbuk.

In particular, case 5206 was infected after visiting a club in Daegu on the 4th, and it is known that this person also visited a club located in Dong-gu within the region two days later, on the 6th.

The quarantine authorities are actively responding by sending disaster safety messages to find those who visited the facilities.

Among the new confirmed cases, 4 people developed symptoms while in isolation, were tested, and then confirmed positive.
