Is it true that every perfect set of a compact Hausdorff space is uncountable?

Let $(X, \mathcal{U})$ be a compact Hausdorff space and it has no isolated point. Let $A\subseteq X$ is a closed and infinite set with no isolated point . Is it true that $A$ is uncountable set?

Thanks for your help.

No. Consider $X=[0,1]$, $A=\{0\}\cup\{\frac1n:n\in\mathbb{N}\}$.

EDIT: However, any (non-empty) compact Hausdorff space with no isolated points is uncountable. Show the given space is uncountable. And if you have a closed subset, it is also a compact Hausdorff space, so if it (is non-empty and) has no isolated points, it must be uncountable.
