Jeong Ki-seok, head of the Corona 19 Special Response Team and National Infectious Disease Crisis Response Advisory Committee, brought out the so-called 'jaywalking theory' in relation to the issue of free treatment for unvaccinated people.
At a regular briefing held yesterday (2nd) at the Seoul Government Complex, Chairman Jung Ki-seok mentioned a case in which Corona 19 became severe due to refusal of vaccines, and said, “There is a crosswalk, but there is a big difference from a traffic accident while jaywalking without crossing the crosswalk. There is no," he said.
He added that we should discuss in the future how long the state should provide free treatment to unvaccinated people.
This remark came from the process of strongly encouraging vaccination.
Chairman Chung also suggested cash incentives such as gift certificates of 5,000 won to 10,000 won for vaccination.
