"Strict Social Distancing Must Be Maintained Without Wavering"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Song Ha-jin, former governor of Jeonbuk Province, issued an appeal on the 21st regarding the government's extended policy of relaxed social distancing, stating, "We will maintain the COVID-19 quarantine system firmly through thorough and continuous social distancing."

Governor Song said, "Overcoming the explosive infection situation was thanks to the national effort that created a democratic quarantine system," and expressed gratitude to "the residents who participated in social distancing, the medical staff, quarantine personnel, volunteers, and public officials from all walks of life who worked hard on treatment."

However, he warned, "Small carelessness and selfish behavior can turn the current hope back to square one," and urged residents not to lose their vigilance until the end, saying, "Infectious diseases can always return as a tangible massive crisis."

He continued, "The social distancing extended until May 5th has only slightly eased some measures, but its content has not changed at all," emphasizing again that "social distancing remains a national promise that must be observed."

He also appealed to residents to recognize the importance of personal quarantine participation and join in, saying, "Let us renew our spirit with the spirit of solidarity and consideration for the community and firmly consolidate our winning position in the fight against COVID-19."
