'COVID-19' Spread Prevention Leads to Postponement of '2020 Eulji Taeguk Exercise' to Second Half of the Year View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 20th that the '2020 Eulji Taeguk Exercise,' originally scheduled for the end of May, will be postponed to the second half of the year.


This decision was made in response to the increasing cases of COVID-19 inflow from overseas entrants and the continuous occurrence of small-scale group infections nationwide.


An official from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety explained, "Since the public is participating in social distancing and public officials are fully committed to operating emergency response organizations and quarantine measures against COVID-19, it was deemed difficult to proceed with the Eulji Taeguk Exercise as planned."



Accordingly, the Ministry plans to conduct internal training focused on emergency preparedness departments in the first half of the year to maintain the national emergency readiness posture, and to carry out the Eulji Taeguk Exercise when the COVID-19 situation stabilizes and work normalizes.
