Although the government’s application rate for the national medical exams scheduled for Day 8 is only in the 10% range, it has decided to proceed as scheduled.

On the 7th, Son Young-rae, head of the Accident Control Headquarters Strategic Planning Division (spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Welfare), said in a regular briefing for Corona 19, “out of a total of 3,172 candidates to take the national medical exam, 446 and 14% of all candidates will take it “.
