Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun Speaks at All Corona 19 Emergency Press Conferences
My fellow citizens, the third Corona 19 pandemic is rearing its head. This is the most serious crisis since last March. Community infections are rarely decreasing. There is already a risk of infection that is not seen everywhere in our daily lives.
But don’t worry too much. We will generously dedicate all government resources and capabilities to protect people’s lives and safety. The government will always be with the people.
Spring comes only after winter. Once again, we are facing a crisis, but we will surely overcome it together with the strength of solidarity and cooperation. The crisis we face is a test, not a failure.
Today’s emergency press conference for the overcoming of Corona 19 was prepared to provide detailed and honest reports to the public on the current dire situation.
Hope must begin with an accurate awareness of the current situation. The government will inform the people of the current situation as it is, and it will surely overcome this crisis together with the people. We will never leave people in danger.
First of all, I will briefly explain the results of today’s grand plenary session.
The Seoul Metropolitan Area maintains a distance of two steps, but prohibits the operation of sauna and steam room facilities with a high risk of group infection.
Additionally, extra gatherings are prohibited in indoor sports facilities where vigorous exercises such as Zumba, spinning, and aerobics are performed.
Classes in academies and classrooms with a high probability of splashes such as wind instruments and songs are also prohibited. However, students preparing for university entrance exams will be excluded under the condition of strict quarantine.
Complex facilities such as gym, sauna, cafeteria and reading room in the apartment will be discontinued. In addition, we will ban all New Years and New Year’s Eve events and parties hosted by lodging facilities such as hotels, party halls, and guesthouses.
Next, we will increase the distance in the non-metropolitan area to 1.5 steps. Local governments that judge the risk to be high based on the characteristics of the region will decide for themselves to take reinforced quarantine measures, such as the second stage of improvement.
The period is two weeks, but can be terminated early or extended depending on the situation.
For more information, please refer to the distributed materials, and I, the Minister of Health and Welfare, and the Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will explain in detail through questions from journalists.
My fellow citizens, from now on, regardless of whether or not the distancing stage is raised, all citizens must enter the defensive posture of the crown crisis. From now on, the subject of quarantine is people.
We need to open K-Defense Prevention Season 2, which goes beyond government-led quarantine and transitions to quarantine with people. A live quarantine is needed that is practiced by each and every citizen, not through cooperation.
Now is the time when the spirit of Corona Out, which actively surpasses Corona, beyond With Corona, which requires daily life with Corona, is in dire need.
Our people have the DNA of crisis overcoming that adds strength to difficult times. Once again, we will definitely do it. May the people and the government join forces until the end and defeat Corona 19 together.
Thank you.
