[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Choi Kyung-hwan, leader of the Alternative New Party, stated on the 3rd, "The novel coronavirus infection is spreading into a national emergency," and proposed "a meeting between the president and party leaders for the February National Assembly."

At the joint meeting of the Supreme Council members and lawmakers held at the National Assembly that day, Leader Choi said, "We must halt all political offensives and seek a nationwide response through bipartisan cooperation."

Leader Choi emphasized, "Through a meeting between the president and party leaders, let's show a mature and united political stance in response to the national disaster," and added, "By doing so, we can reassure the citizens who are in anxiety."

Regarding the government's announcement to completely ban the entry of all foreigners who have visited or stayed in Hubei Province, China, within the last 14 days starting from midnight on the 4th, Leader Choi said, "There is a question about how effective it would be to restrict only those who stayed in Hubei Province when symptoms of infection are spreading throughout China," and stated, "It is necessary to actively consider expanding the (entry ban) measures."

On the integration of the third political bloc, Leader Choi said, "Consensus on the unification of the centrist reform third force is spreading, and pressure from supporters is increasing," and added, "I hope that at least a three-party unification declaration will be made by mid-month, two months before the general election, that is, by next week."
