Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun announced that from December 24th to January 3rd, it will implement special quarantine with some of the more reinforced measures than the third stage. Accordingly, the operation of the ski resort will be completely stopped and major tourist attractions will also be closed.
Prime Minister Chung said at a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters for Corona 19 (new coronavirus infection) held at the government’s Seoul government office on the 22nd, “On the 21st, the maximum number of tests was carried out, reaching 110,000 cases in the health center and the temporary screening center. “However, as there were about 1,000 confirmed cases every day for nearly a week, there was a lot of social debate over whether or not to raise the distance.” “The government is implementing special measures for strengthening quarantine during the year-end and New Year holidays in order to substantially block the spread of infection in everyday life rather than adjusting the formal steps. This special measure is implemented across the country from the eve of Christmas to the end of the New Year’s holiday and keeps distance. He stressed, “We will certainly break the momentum of the third epidemic by including more strengthened quarantine measures than the third stage.”

Prime Minister Jung said, “We will completely stop operating winter sports facilities, including ski resorts, so that the two upcoming holidays will not be the trigger for the spread of Corona 19, and we will boldly close major tourist attractions that are crowded during the year-end and New Year holidays.” By limiting even meetings and reinforcing the quarantine rules applied to restaurants, we will thoroughly block the chain of infection in our daily lives.” In addition, “We will take full action against quarantine management such as controlling access to outsiders, prohibiting private gatherings of workers, and conducting periodic preemptive inspections for vulnerable facilities such as nursing hospitals, nursing facilities, and mental hospitals where large-scale group infection continues.” By consistently applying it everywhere and making it impossible to relax the standards for each local government, we will prevent the spreading trend from moving from region to region.”
Prime Minister Jung said, “I am very sorry that it has become difficult to gather together with family, friends, and neighbors during the year-end and New Year holidays. However, as it is for the safety of loved ones, please understand.” “Through this special measure, the government “The message I ask of the people of Ga is to cancel or stop all meetings and trips for Christmas and New Year holidays, and to stay at home.”
Prime Minister Chung also said, “I will say again, but the government’s quarantine countermeasures are nothing more than a building of thought if the people’s’participatory quarantine’ cannot be supported. “If we pass over, we will come to the end now, and we look forward to seeing the new year with the hope of victory.”
