President Moon explained, "As the number of confirmed cases and deaths from the novel coronavirus in China is rapidly increasing, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared an international emergency, confirmed cases are also rising in our country," adding, "In response, the government is making every effort to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and countless medical personnel and quarantine authorities are working tirelessly day and night on the front lines of quarantine."
