Cheong "Korean quarantine? Overwhelmingly many foreign media highly appreciate"

Cheongwadae Indirectly Refutes Criticism of Japan Drive-Thru... "Gratitude to Medical Staff and Citizens"

[Asia Economy reporters Ryu Jeong-min and Son Seon-hee] A senior Blue House official said on the 16th regarding Japan's questioning of South Korea's 'drive-thru' quarantine system, "How Japan evaluates the drive-thru is a matter for Japan to decide, and it seems that foreign media are assessing the three principles of transparency, openness, and democratic procedures (in Korea)."

The senior Blue House official emphasized, "The government has upheld transparency, openness, and democratic procedures as the three principles in responding to COVID-19," adding, "As far as we have confirmed, many foreign media highly appreciate these principles overwhelmingly."

The senior Blue House official explained, "I saw an article in the Washington Post in the U.S. that even described it as a 'success of Korean quarantine democracy.' There is also an atmosphere of evaluating the diagnostic capabilities of the quarantine authorities."

The senior Blue House official stressed, "(The drive-thru) is becoming an international standard. There have already been reports that inquiries about exporting diagnostic kits are coming in," adding, "Including the quarantine authorities, the government is not letting its guard down at all. There is gratitude toward the medical staff who are struggling on the front lines and appreciation for the people who silently endure in difficult circumstances."
