It has been confirmed that a family of volunteers who worked at the Busan Mayor’s Preliminary Candidate election office, Jin-bok Lee, have been diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Following the preliminary candidate Lee Eon-ju, the number of confirmed cases related to the election office is expected to have a great influence on the by-election.
According to Lee Jin-bok’s election office on the 15th, the family of camp volunteers was confirmed to be Corona 19 around 8:30 am on the day.
The volunteers had not attended work since the 13th because their family had symptoms of Corona 19, the election office said.
However, the prospective candidate Jin-bok Lee plans to focus its efforts on the spread of the infection.
First of all, it canceled all schedules until the 17th, including postponing the press conference for the announcement of the 6th pledge,’Customized Welfare by Life Cycle, Happy Life’, scheduled for 10:30 am on the day.
In addition, a total inspection will be conducted on about 20 employees of the camp, including volunteers.
An official from the camp said, “Candidate Jin-bok Lee was judged’negative’ at the test on the 14th, but we canceled the press conference to announce the pledge to prevent any possible infection.” The camp will also be temporarily closed for quarantine and disinfection,” he said.
Meanwhile, an emergency took place as it became known that a corona19 confirmed person visited the election office of the same party candidate Lee Eon-ju on December 30 and January 5 last year.
Among the visitors to the election office of Candidate Eon-Joo Lee, it has been confirmed that eight people have been confirmed to date, and the candidates were also self-quarantined until the 19th after contacting the confirmed patients.
As this situation continued, prospective candidate Lee Jin-bok was voluntarily tested for Corona 19 on the 14th.
