The meeting of the Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters is currently being held at the Seoul Government Complex, chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun.

Let’s hear Prime Minister Chung’s meeting remarks a while ago.

An important week has passed before the Chuseok vacation. Although the average number of confirmed cases per week is gradually decreasing, the number of confirmed cases per day has fluctuated around 100 and the unstable appearance continues only 5 days before Chuseok, so I can’t relax for a moment.

At today’s meeting, we will discuss the quarantine measures that will apply during the special quarantine period during the Chuseok holidays starting next week. This measure focused on ensuring the effectiveness of the quarantine. Instead of a uniform application of the social distancing stage, the characteristics of the Chuseok period and regional conditions were carefully considered.

In the case of the metropolitan area, quarantine regulations for restaurants, amusement parks and cinemas, which are expected to be visited by many residents at home, are further enforced. Outside of the metropolitan area, group bans apply for at least a week at entertainment facilities that are likely to be visited by people visiting their hometown and those on the road. We request the active participation and cooperation of citizens so that the Chuseok holiday period, which will be the biggest step in response to Crown 19 in the second semester, can be safely passed.

The number of flu cases that occurred in the second quarter of this year was 180,000, which is said to have decreased by 1 million from the same period last year. The analysis is the result of following the rules of personal hygiene, such as wearing a mask and washing your hands due to Corona 19. There is great concern about the possibility of a simultaneous epidemic of COVID-19 and flu, but if you follow the rules of personal hygiene as well as before, you can completely avoid the worrying situation. Wearing a mask and washing your hands are the best vaccines against COVID-19 and flu.

According to statistics released a few days ago, there were 13,800 suicide deaths last year. In particular, it is shocking that more than half of deaths in their twenties appear to have made extreme decisions. The first half of this year was more serious. Suicide attempts in the 1920s and 1930s have increased by more than 80% compared to last year, and experts diagnose this as the Corona 19 effect. Even if K-Defense is praised around the world, its meaning will fade if it fails. The Ministry of Social Welfare and other related ministries should consider special suicide prevention measures.

A shocking incident occurred last Monday in the vicinity of Yeonpyeong-do, where a missing Korean official was killed by North Korean military gunfire and the body was burned. First of all, I wish the deceased a blessing and offer a word of deep comfort to the grieving family. We strongly condemn the brutality of our unarmed people and urge the North Korean authorities to respond and take responsible action. There is no value more valuable than protecting the life and safety of people.
