United Future Party: "If healthy, refrain from wearing masks... Who can guarantee 100% health?"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized Kim Sang-jo, the Chief Presidential Secretary for Policy at the Blue House, for his remark regarding COVID-19, saying "If you are healthy, refrain from wearing masks," stating, "Who can guarantee 100% health?"

Kim Sung-won, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a statement on the 7th, "With asymptomatic infections occurring one after another and even so-called safe hospitals being breached, it is impossible to know where a clean environment exists or who can guarantee 100% health."

He expressed concern, saying, "The entire Republic of Korea is currently suffering. Not only daycare centers and kindergartens but also elementary, middle, high schools, and universities have all been closing one after another," adding, "Academies are effectively under forced closure, and 90% of self-employed individuals are experiencing reduced income, seriously worrying about business closures."

He continued, "Nevertheless, the Moon Jae-in administration keeps boasting in a self-congratulatory manner that 'the diagnostic capacity is excellent, so there are many confirmed cases of Wuhan COVID-19,' and it blindly bows to China and North Korea amid a series of failed quarantine measures."

Spokesperson Kim criticized, "President Moon Jae-in, aware that the sudden five-day mask distribution system was a ridiculous measure, suddenly ordered to expand the proxy receipt scope for the mask five-day system," adding, "The fact that the president issued additional instructions just one day after the announcement itself admits that the policy has serious problems."

He pointed out, "Whether something is done well or poorly is not for the Moon Jae-in administration to judge, but for the people to decide," and added, "This is not the time to put on disposable masks under cloth masks or to show bravado by not wearing masks at public meetings to hide risks, staging a 'show for the public.'"
