Prime Minister Se-Gyun Jung reiterated the 'zero tolerance principle' for violators in connection with the government's mandatory two-week self-isolation for all immigrants starting today (1st).

Prime Minister Chung said at a meeting of the Central Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (Corporate Transcripts) responding to the new coronavirus infection (Corona19) hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government Office today, "I will accuse or deport without tolerance."

"There are cases in which foreign immigrants are violating self-containment rules in the sense that they are not aware of domestic circumstances or have returned to a safe home country," said Jung. "In particular, there is great concern about young international students."

In addition, he said, "Aberrations are immediately detected with a location tracking-based integrated situation management system." The related agencies ordered these policies clearly when entering the country so that immigrants could be alert. "

Earlier, Prime Minister Chung said on the 26th of last month, he has emphasized this policy several times after saying, "If there is no justifiable reason, if there is no justifiable reason, if there is no justifiable reason, we must prosecute it, and foreigners must be deported."

In addition, Prime Minister Chung said, “The number of foreign residents entering the country will decrease greatly, but for the time being, the number of self-isolated people will increase mainly among Koreans returning to Korea.” “I am worried about the burden of local governments, but it is a key means to protect the community from infection. "Please concentrate your competence on the management of personal insulators."

In addition, Prime Minister Chung explained, “It was a suboptimal choice to guarantee children's right to learn in a situation where it is impossible to guarantee safe attendance when it comes to sequential online school starting on the 9th in the aftermath of Corona 19.”

Prime Minister Chung said, "Many people as well as teachers are the first to experience remote classes, so there are many people who are worried about whether or not they can proceed properly." Physical preparation is important, but it seems necessary to explain in detail how the class will be conducted. " I pointed out.

Then, the Ministry of Education ordered each school to prepare remote classes according to the conditions, and to inform parents of the preparation situation and specific teaching methods so that they can ease their worries. "

On the other hand, Prime Minister Chung said, “I hope that the firefighters will be more proud and able to carry out their missions.”

"Firefighters transported more than 20,000 patients at the forefront of the battle against Corona 19," said Prime Minister Chung. "At this moment, we are deeply grateful to firefighters who are committed to the best of their lives and safety." I give it to you. "
