[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun called the captain and crew members aboard the chartered flight dispatched for the return of Korean residents from Wuhan, China, on the 13th to express his gratitude.

According to the Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Chung spoke with the captain and crew members aboard the Wuhan chartered flight from his office at the Government Seoul Office Building that morning, saying, "All citizens are very grateful for the courage and sacrifice of volunteering for the temporary flight despite the difficult decision to go to an infectious disease outbreak area."

He then discussed their thoughts on the special flight, whether their families opposed it, any discomfort from wearing protective equipment, and whether there have been any health issues since the flight.

Prime Minister Chung said, "The state must naturally be responsible for the safety of its citizens, but it was only possible thanks to private cooperation," and added, "I am grateful for helping the Korean residents leave Wuhan and return to their homeland through three flights."

He continued, "The Korean residents who arrived on the 31st of last month and the 1st of this month are staying comfortably at temporary living facilities and are scheduled to be discharged on the 15th to 16th in good health," adding, "The interest and support from each and every citizen will make our society warmer."
