President Moon Jae-in visited the Emergency Situation Center of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.

[President Moon Jae-in: I thought that it would be more meaningful to hold the appointment ceremony of the first commissioner with all of us, who can be said to be the protagonists of the promotion.]



Most of the ceremony for the awarding ceremony of the appointment of high-ranking officials of the current government was attended by spouses. As the Commissioner wished, the quality staff were with us.

[Eun-Kyung Jung/Invited Director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: We always, always do not forget, and have deep in our hearts with expectations and beliefs, for the reason we exist, so that the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can be reborn as a health keeper who protects the health and social safety of the people...

After the presentation ceremony, President Moon moved to the Corona 19 Central Accident Response Headquarters to encourage employees.



President Moon emphasized, "Because of the successful quarantine, the economy has been less shocked," he said. "It is important not to get tired."
