COVID-19: NYT criticizes South Korea: 1st infected person in the world

-Where did K-Quarantine go? –

The New York Times:

Number of people infected with new coronavirus in recent days

The number of infected people per day exceeded 600,000.

He criticized the pandemic situation in South Korea.

The number one infected person in the world:

South Korea has traditionally implemented an active epidemic prevention policy.

Currently, the number of infected people is the highest in the world, but the Korean government has no policy to prevent epidemics.

Traditional epidemic prevention policy:

Temporary mask mandatory measures,
Inspection, tracking, quarantine, etc.
It is pointed out that it is completely different from developing a strict K-quarantine policy.

Institute of Foreign Economic Policy
Mr. Chang Young-wook

There is no more patience left for the Korean people.

We have exaggerated the risk of infectious diseases in order to obtain the cooperation of the people.

The cooperation of the people is completely exhausted.

Professor Om Jun-sik

“We should ease epidemic prevention measures after the epidemic has peaked,” he said.
