Candidate Kim Seonghwan: "COVID-19 Information Disclosure and Countermeasure Strengthening Needed"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Seonghwan, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Dongnam (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, has argued that information disclosure and countermeasures related to the coronavirus outbreak must be significantly strengthened to alleviate public anxiety.

In a press release on the 4th, Candidate Kim stated, “With one confirmed case of coronavirus in Gwangju, the local community is falling into great anxiety,” and emphasized, “Health and hygiene issues are very important for specific preventive actions by local governments, separate from the role of the state.”

He continued, “First, through the disclosure of related information, we should prevent excessive anxiety, install quarantine facilities at key locations such as terminals, promote a city-wide mask-wearing campaign, and announce concrete preventive action measures that the city and citizens can practice together, while seeking citizen cooperation to prevent the spread.”

Meanwhile, Candidate Kim is transitioning to conducting external election campaigns only through non-contact methods such as SNS and has suspended most external election activities.
