[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sun-hee] President Moon Jae-in visited the quarantine facility in Jincheon, Chungbuk, where Korean nationals who returned from Wuhan, China, the origin of the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia), are staying on the 9th.

On that morning, President Moon visited the National Human Resources Development Institute, where the returnees are quarantined, received a report from on-site officials regarding the living conditions of the returnees, and encouraged them.

The returnees who came back in two batches on January 31 and February 1 marked their 10th and 9th days of quarantine, respectively, on that day.

After receiving a report on the status of the returnees' accommodation, President Moon held a meeting with residents of Jincheon and Eumseong. It is believed that he expressed gratitude to the local residents who cooperated in accommodating the returnees.

Meanwhile, the Wuhan returnees staying at the temporary living facility are scheduled to be released from quarantine starting on the 13th, beginning with the first group of arrivals, if they show no symptoms of the coronavirus.
