Daily Recovery '70% Vaccination Rate' Nears... Gwangju, Spread Slows Down

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The spread of COVID-19 in the Gwangju area appears to have somewhat subsided.

With the local vaccination rates recording 77.11% for the first dose and 61.87% for the second dose, the region is entering the phase of daily life recovery. Additionally, the decline in the spread has significantly contributed to a recent decrease of about 2,000 daily tests, including proactive testing.

According to Gwangju Metropolitan City on the 15th, a total of six new infections were confirmed the previous day, including five local transmissions and one imported case.

They were classified as cases number 5233 to 5238.

At a construction site in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, where 'n-th generation infections' continue, case 5235 was newly added, increasing the cumulative total to 11.

Case 5238 was infected when a relative (confirmed case) living in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, recently visited their home.

Case 5237, a Kazakhstani national, tested positive immediately after entering the country on the 13th, and one person related to foreigner testing in Gwangsan-gu was identified as case 5236.

The infection routes for two cases, 5233 and 5234, have not yet been confirmed.
