We are naked, but WHO "maintains a state of emergency"... What are the remaining actions?

<Anchor>

Let's discuss this with Yoo Seung-hyun, medical reporter.

[Yoo Seung-hyun/medical journalist (specialist): The next step, the complete removal of indoor masks, was announced today (30th) that it could be possible around May.

Let's listen.]

[Jung Ki-seok/Corona 19 Special Response Team: I have a personal opinion that maybe this May will be enough, but we have enough discussions.]

[Yoo Seung-hyun/Medical journalist (specialist): The 7-day quarantine obligation still remains.

In order for this to be adjusted, first of all, our health authorities must conduct an experiment on the period during which the mutant virus is released to secure scientific grounds that do not require quarantine.

At least until this time, quarantine measures must be maintained so that the social consensus to rest if sick is maintained, and such treatment with the national budget is possible.

Chairman Jeong Ki-seok predicted that full recovery would be possible by October of this year at the earliest.]

[Yoo Seung-hyun/Medical reporter (specialist): We made an announcement around 6 o'clock today.

In conclusion, the World Health Organization (WHO) has concluded to maintain a state of emergency.

Coincidentally, today marks the third year since the state of emergency was declared, so there was some anticipation that it might not be lifted.

It seems that the situation in China and the increase in deaths around the world have become a stumbling block.]

[Yoo Seung-hyun/medical journalist (specialist): This measure is not about not wearing an indoor mask, but if it is judged to be dangerous, it is to use it voluntarily.

So, if you think about the principle of wearing a mask to protect the high-risk group and yourself, it seems that this measure will not be too difficult.]
