The government holds a Corona19 Pan-government Action Conference to discuss how to respond across the country.

While infectious disease crisis alerts will remain at the alert level, it will be discussed how to track correlators' movements and slow down the corona spread.

Prime Minister Chung Se-kyun said last night that he was taking a more serious stance as a prime minister for the Corona 19 incident through a public talk.

At the same time, he urged them to refrain from congregational events such as religious events.

[President Jeong Se-kyun / Prime Minister: Please refrain from gathering in crowded indoor spaces such as religious events or outdoor activities for a while, or try other methods such as online.]

He also stated that he would firmly respond if he fails to cooperate with government measures such as quarantine and self-containment.

[President Jeong Se-kyun / Prime Minister: We will act firmly in accordance with laws and principles for acts that hinder national defense activities, illegal activities such as the purchase of sanitary goods, etc. .]

Mr. Chung believes in the government and medical staff. He stressed that Corona 19 is a disease that can be better treated if detected and treated early.
