As the infection of family members and acquaintances due to contact with the confirmed person and the n-th infection continue to occur in daily life, the 4th stage extension is inevitable.

The city is focusing on testing for early detection of confirmed cases in 7 locations by installing 3 additional screening testing centers in addition to the 4 existing screening clinics.
