Right now, the Corona 19 Disaster and Security Countermeasures Headquarters meeting is 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.

[정세균 / 국무총리]

It has been three days since we set up screening clinics in major areas of the metropolitan area and searched for hidden infected people.

Despite the cold, thanks to the dedication of the medical staff and the participation of many citizens, so far more than 37,000 people have been carried out and 68 confirmed cases of Corona 19 have been confirmed in just two days.

This is considered sufficient to dispel the controversy about the effectiveness of this randomized preventive trial, which is the first attempt.

If these people hadn’t been willing to comply with the preventive test, the coronavirus would still be quietly spreading to anyone somewhere now.

We request the active participation of the citizens of the metropolitan area.

We hope that quarantine authorities and local governments will establish a planned temporary screening test as soon as possible to block the spread of corona 19 in advance.

With around 1,000 confirmed cases a day, securing beds has become the most urgent task.

The government has established the principle of transferring patients to a life treatment center or hospital within 24 hours of confirmation, and is doing everything possible to care for patients.

However, in some areas of the metropolitan area, there are still many patients waiting at home for more than two days.

Now, we are in an infectious disease crisis where we must first protect people’s lives.

Regarding the hospital bed problem in the metropolitan area, make sure that the heavy water supply serves as a control tower and actively cooperate with the idea that each local government is a body.

Ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays, there are reports that small-scale bookings have increased at hotels, party halls and guesthouses.

Although large-scale meetings and events have declined, it is said that there are no empty rooms in Gangwon-do or Jeju-do, as small-scale youth-focused meetings have increased.

It is truly unfortunate as most people focus on the number of confirmed cases every day and are working together to reverse the spread of Corona 19.

For the safety of your loved ones, friends and colleagues at the end of this year, we ask that you cancel all meetings and gatherings and avoid contact with people.

Thank you.
