As Corona 19 spreads again, centered on the workers at the Coupang Distribution Center in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, Governor Lee Jae-myeong has continued to make a statement.

Yesterday (28th), the Governor held an online emergency press conference and ordered a two-week collective ban on Bucheon Coupang Fresh Logistics Center (2nd Factory). "The worst thing can happen is 'corona delivery' rather than product delivery."

Subsequently, the governor's comments were supported online by saying, "There's nothing wrong with being cautious," while a number of netizens were pointed out that "the word" corona delivery "wasn't prudent." If not, it will make the difficult courier more difficult and create an unfounded fear of the courier itself.


In fact, on the same day, Kwon Joon-wook, deputy general manager of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a briefing, "According to expert opinion and the World Health Organization (WHO), the possibility of transmission through courier goods is very low when considering the viability or exposure of the virus." Explained.

"All fresh food products are shipped in a packaged condition. There is no direct contact between the goods and the goods from the delivery to the Coupang staff." Revealed.

On the same issue, Jang Deok-cheon, the mayor of Bucheon, said on Facebook that he was going through a large-scale logistics truck → 'camp' (middle base) → courier vehicle process, so that the courier driver did not go directly through the distribution center, and it was compared with the comments from the governor.


It's not that the governor hasn't minded the workers who struggle in poor working conditions.

At the time of the briefing, the governor also said, "A lot of workers at the Coupang Logistics Center are both very short-time workers who work hard and three-jobs, and platform workers whose work environment is unstable." "It hurts my heart when I think about what to wear."

However, due to inappropriate expressions, it was impossible to escape the criticism of hurting many people with only stimulating and visible words.
