COVID-19 pandemic had spread in this settlement in recent days. The infection was confirmed in the cat also in course of carrying out contact tracing at the place. Three members of the family keeping the pet cat also tested positive for coronavirus. The South Korean government has urged one and all to be alert after the virus was found infecting an animal other than people. Although the Korean government has been preparing for vaccination against COVID-19, it is yet to be administered.
