Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said, "We will proactively find the source of infection by expanding our testing capacity up to 500,000 cases a day to prevent the 4th outbreak of Corona 19."
Prime Minister Chung presided over the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting held at the government's Seoul government office today (7th), and was concerned that "the 3rd epidemic has passed, but the number of confirmed cases has stagnated at 300-400 per day for 7 consecutive weeks." And said:
To this end, we decided to expand the installation of temporary screening inspection centers in the non-metropolitan area, and actively support the preemptive inspection of vulnerable facilities at the local government level.
Prime Minister Chung also said, "We will increase the level of quarantine and strengthen the management of self-quarantine by adding the incidence rate of mutant viruses by country to the requirements for the designation of countries with enhanced quarantine."
In addition, he said, "Even if there are 2,000 confirmed cases a day, we will expand the capacity of the medical system in advance so that there are no shortages of beds and medical personnel."
