The Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters meeting is currently being held at the Sejong Government Complex, chaired by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun.
Today, along with the Corona 19 response situation, we are also checking readiness for Typhoon 9 ‘Mysak’ in North Korea.
Let’s hear the comments from Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun’s meeting a while ago.
[정세균 / 국무총리]A new month has started, but the Corona 19 situation remains dire.
In August, there were more than 5,000 confirmed cases in a month and the cumulative number of confirmed cases exceeded 20,000. Small-scale group infections continue in many places, and in the past week, 25% of confirmed patients with unknown routes of infection are struggling with quarantine.
However, the government will surely overcome this crisis by cooperating with you. This week will be a major turning point in determining Corona 19’s spread and calm.
Many citizens keep the quarantine rules well, but some churches, restaurants, cafes, etc. they still have cases of quarantine violations. As you cooperate with the quarantine, I hope that you will join forces so as not to waste the efforts of many people who struggle every day.
In particular, this week, I ask you to be patient and join us in the fight against Corona 19. Chuseok is approaching a month in advance. This holiday season shouldn’t be another spark for the spread of Corona 19. I urge people to make quarantine a top priority and make a vacation plan.
Chuseok’s public welfare measures, such as transportation and consumption, prepared by the government, must also be in harmony with each other by faithfully considering the COVID-19 quarantine policy. Quarantine authorities should consult with relevant ministries to preemptively prepare quarantine measures for Chuseok and inform the public in advance.
The closure of the group of important doctors has continued on the 13th. Until now, the government has sincerely promoted wide communication not only with the main medical councils and associations, but also with the heads of hospitals, the elders of medicine and teachers. from medical schools.
Furthermore, given the dire situation of Corona 19, the expansion of the medical school’s capacity was suspended for a time without conditions, and the national examination for physicians was delayed for a week. However, it is a pity that the great doctors continue to act in groups.
Now there isn’t much time left. The later you return to work, the more patients will suffer. Doctors of specialization believe in the promises of the elderly in the government, the National Assembly and the medical field and urge you to return to patients as soon as possible.
Typhoon number 9 ‘Mysak’, accompanied by very strong winds and a lot of rain, is approaching Korea at a rapid pace. This typhoon is the first typhoon to penetrate the interior this year, and is expected to resemble Typhoon ‘Maemi’ of 2003, which killed 131 people and caused 4 trillion won property damage.
In particular, since storm surges and rising sea levels are concerned about damage to coastal residents, relevant ministries and local governments should fully prepare for the evacuation of residents and repair facilities in the event of emergency.
I hope that people will also listen to the weather information and follow the rules of action to protect their own safety. Thank you.
