<Anchor> In the

middle of last month, Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, USA, which imported Corona 19 diagnostic tools from Korea, is also known as a South Korean son-in-law living with a Korean spouse. He told me he had mobilized even the kitchen guard in case he would intercept it.

<Reporter> On the

19th of last month, 500,000 Korean Corona 19 diagnostic tools arrived at Baltimore Airport in the United States.

At that time, Governor Larry Hogan thanked Korea that he had succeeded in a secret operation for airborne large-scale diagnostic tools thanks to a Korean spouse.

[Lary Hogan / Maryland Governor of the United States: Maryland is in great debt to Korea. Thank you.]

But Governor Hogan confessed that there was a reason to deploy the kitchen guards at the airport.

[Gary Larry Hogan / Maryland Governor of the United States: Some Governor colleagues told me that the federal government intercepted or stolen cargo.]

I was worried that Governor Massachusetts had been airlifting a mask and confiscating it.

[Lary Hogan / Maryland Governor of the United States: We wanted to make sure it didn't happen. That's why I deployed the National Guard and the police, so I switched to Baltimore Airport, not Dulles Airport, where Korean passenger planes from Incheon usually land.]

Afterwards, the tools were said to be kept in a secret place, like a gold ingot, under the guard of the National Guard and the police.

Governor Hogan is now working with the federal government, but frankly, it was a problem when importing Korean diagnostic tools.
