[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Myung-jin, preliminary candidate for the National Assembly representing Seogu-gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City from the Minsaeng Party, stated on the 25th, “In response to the elevation of the COVID-19 crisis alert to the severe stage, it is necessary to adhere to the strengthened response system and preventive behavior guidelines to prevent community transmission.”
Candidate Kim Myung-jin said, “The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is approaching 1,000,” and argued, “Now, there are limits to preventing the spread of infection by only using ‘blocking’ and ‘lockdown’ methods.”
He emphasized, “To prevent community transmission, voluntary and active participation of citizens is required according to the strengthened behavior guidelines,” and added, “By thoroughly maintaining personal hygiene and strictly following the ‘preventive behavior guidelines’ suggested by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters for symptomatic individuals, which include ▲refraining from going out including school and work attendance ▲getting sufficient rest for 3 to 4 days ▲monitoring symptoms, community transmission must be prevented.”
He continued, “For high-risk groups such as pregnant women, those aged 65 and older, and chronic disease patients, it is advised to refrain from visiting places where many people gather according to the preventive behavior guidelines, and if going out is unavoidable, please be sure to wear a mask.”
