[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Busan City disclosed part of the movement paths of the Incheon 107th and 108th confirmed COVID-19 cases, a married couple who tested positive after traveling to Busan, on the 14th.

They took the KTX from Gwangmyeong Station on the 8th and arrived at Busan Station around 4:10 PM. They then took a taxi to Galsamgui (Minrak Subyeon-ro 7) restaurant in Suyeong-gu, Busan, where they stayed from 6:36 PM to 7:31 PM.

They then stayed at Mapo Sutbul Galbi (Gwang-an-ro 61) in Suyeong-gu, Busan, from 3:50 AM to 4:28 AM on the 9th before returning to their accommodation and leaving Busan by KTX at 9:50 AM.

They began showing suspected symptoms such as coughing from the 10th and were confirmed positive on the 12th.

The city stated that five contacts were identified at the two restaurants they visited.

The city health authorities said, "They stayed near Gwangalli from 7:31 PM on the 8th to 3:49 AM on the 9th, but it is understood that they did not enter any specific locations."

As the epidemiological investigation found that they were not wearing masks while at the two restaurants, more contacts may be identified.

A city official said, "Anyone whose movement overlaps with the Incheon confirmed couple can visit the Suyeong-gu Public Health Center for consultation and, if confirmed as a contact, can receive diagnostic testing."
