Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said today (20th), "Please refrain from meetings planned for the end of the year as much as possible and stay in the house as much as possible except for essential activities."



Prime Minister Chung said in a talk to the public today announced at the Seoul Government Complex, saying, "As the spread of Corona 19 is increasing recently,'K-quarantine' is once again in crisis."



This talk was announced amid concerns about the'third pandemic' as the recent corona 19 spread rapidly.



Prime Minister Jung said, "Especially for those aged 60 or older, please take care of health care in the winter and minimize unnecessary outings and meetings," and "workers should postpone or cancel year-end parties and dinner parties."



In addition, he said, "We need the cooperation of young people above all else," and said, "Because of the nature of asymptomatic infections, it is difficult to handle the range and speed of spread.



He then emphasized, "We are also asking companies to participate in workplace quarantine through telecommuting, etc." and "We will take the lead in the public sector, including the government."



He said, "Each ministry, local government, and public institutions nationwide will implement strengthened quarantine measures starting next week, such as refraining from meetings and meetings, minimizing face-to-face meetings, and revitalizing working from home."



With regard to the SAT exam, which is coming two weeks in the future, Prime Minister Chung called for cooperation from the public, saying, "The government will do its best to ensure that all test takers can take the exam fairly in a safe environment."



In addition, he stressed, "European major countries have entered into a second blockade one after another."



He pointed out, "As the expectation that a vaccine will be available soon has increased, the number of confirmed cases is increasing in various countries," he said. "The expectation for the vaccine is rather poisonous to quarantine."



"The government is doing its best with the goal of securing the necessary amount of vaccine in a timely manner," he said. "We will transparently disclose the process and contents to the public without hindering national interests."
